IIRC it indeed does while having lighter frame then other F-15. Though I’ll ask this in F-15 thread to confirm it
IIRC mounts are still there and MAWS should be compatible. So that should be enough for gaijin to add them, just like they did with double rack of typhoon and MRML racks on station 2 and 8 for F-15C GE
and why is it not?
Though most US players seem to think that superior = on-par.
It gets the same engines as the E if im not mistaken. Which would mean it could launch faster.
I thought it was
and so can the F-15C GE through MCM. Its actually really annoying
Which is completely unrelated to the state of israel now
Su30sm2 gets better missiles, and better fox 1s(which are very useful i always carry 2), and more importantly a much stronger radar, ef2k aesa gets pretty much the same missiles, it gets 2/4 less missiles sure, less cm, but for that it gets a much stronger flight model allowing those missiles to go faster and reach further, all of that whilst datalinking with the strongest radar in the game. Mcm is a thing sure but it doesnt make up remotely for the disadvantages especially cause the su30sm2 is MUCH more effective at it.
It uses GE-129s, same as the F-16C Block 50 (but two, obviously)
Functionally the same as PW-229 but with less full mil power thrust
So will it be good or bad in comparison to F-15E?
Better not engine wise though
Slightly better, but nothing to note.
You can easily test this with the F-16C Block 50 and 52. The Block 50 accelerates quite quickly and the 52 is a bit slower but not enough that it’s terrible
It will appear the same basically
Good
Doesn’t it have lighter frame then F-15E? So shouldn’t that create a noticeable difference?
It doesn’t weigh tens of tons less so the difference is marginal lol
(I’m running out of ways to say “it’s not that different” if you can’t tell)
What am i even looking at? F-16.5?
Yep :D
Uh, that’s called F-35
Ohk :(
So then, F-16.2
F15 if it was good
Unrelated, but the USN has the opportunity to do the funniest thing with the F-14D and AIM-174B.
it it was then it would probably be canceled in favor of buying more amraams given that D3 can reach that far
which is very different from what we see where they are stopping ordering amraams in the next few years
174B on a faster platform would be quite good. Though would USN even upgrade those F-14s to carry it?
