Us mains so bad they still have decent statistics despite having had one of the worst top tier lineup for more than a year, only getting s decent aircraft with the f15ge AFTER the buff.

Yet i play the su30sm2 and have to deal with a zerg rush of flankers barely getting a kill

Gaijin to stop artificially Nerfing everything that’s added for the US. Thatd would fix it. Best military in the world and yet according to the Russian propagandists its the worse 😂

How we thinking about F-15EX?

I think it could solve some issue with US jets such as lack of spherical RWR and MAW. It should also have 16 missile max which should be very good for current meta. Also it might possibly have BOL pods

Also F-15EX could be equiped with Dragon’s eye radar pod which should give it a large scan area hence fixing the issue of not being able to notch while guiding the missile or make HOBS launches (Also if AIM-260 does have TVC then this would be even more useful)

I know Dragon’s eye radar pod is currently only used by F-15E and F-16, but I think in future it would also be used by F-15EX. So i think it could receive it

Isn’t this pod mainly for mapping ground targets at stand-off range? I believe it plays more of an ISR role than an A/A role.

Yes, I tried to find if it could engage A2A but i could not find anything about it. I guess we would have to wait for AWACS or link 16 for guidance of AMRAAM while notching :(

will be so cancer, it should not get that loadout imo. 12 is definitely enough

Yea, I think gaijin will probably only give it 12 missile even though MRML pylon should be compatible. 16 missile in 1v1 is gonna be very OP though :D

not even 1v1, just the current 16v16 environment.

high missile counts promote less intelligent gameplay

depends on the type of missiles it is up against and what ends up happening to the AIM-120’s

I just don’t think it’s entirely necessary, I think the emphasis should be on Israel and maybe China getting better top tier. Also soviets are clearly suffering at the moment, so they need the Su57 :P

AIM-120Ds are a very good missile for top tier air, 16 of those would be such insane cancer. Especially with MCM

Why bother learning how to notch when you can keep going straight doing MCM defeating all enemy missiles?

how?

valid but id imagine AIM-120’s would be worse at it close in than R-77-1 since they are less manueverable

Israel could get rafale next update, but now i do feel like China need a bit more attention then US especially after PL-12 nerf.
I don’t really know what would help them now

Along with that they could nerf other missiles as well to help Russia :D

Good enough for short to medium range. If you are firing them in HOBS at close range then you screwed up

Yeah most likely and yeah, no idea

so are the other top tier missiles, except they are also much better at HOBS barring the PL-12 which is pretty messed up right now

If you are needing MCM in HOBS, just notch
