Why do we not have F-15EX yet , we have GE and F-15E
I am writing to resume the topic that zuckerburqer wrote about, and I will attach a link below

Many players say that the EX is similar to GE except speed and better climb , and I want to say NO this is not the case, EX has better radar ,better electronic warfare , which will improve the radio technical intelligence mode that was recently added , The EX also has 20 amraams , it would be an ideal br 14.7 aircraft for the US, and would be a good competitor to the SU-30SM2 and Rafale in the air rb, and it could be added to the TRB, as well as the most modern weapons like the F-16CM and F/A-18E, this aircraft would create a balance, the balance that really needs to be in the new reality of modern TRB when you have to fight against the SM-SV paired with the BUK-M3.
And Gaijin you gave the Americans a BVR missile, but you didnt provide them with a real carrier that could effectively use it

Then just discuss on the linked thread? It’s against the rules to create duplicate thread about the same topic. But nonetheless Gaijin has never denied a vehicle to be added, this may be added as a bridge between 4th and 5th generation airplanes, we should be expecting those by late 2026 so keep the hopes high.

I’m gonna say anniversary update

16 is the max iirc

16 is infact the max unless they go turbo schizo

With AMBER it can carry 20-22 , according to Boeings early sales pitch, the gap between the pitch and the purchase was documented in real time. When the Air Force announced the 12-missile tests, Air & Space Forces Magazine noted that Boeing “has previously advertised that the fighter can carry 22 air-to-air weapons”

AMBER was never integrated at all on anything afaik

holy cope post

8

never integrated, gg

I am gonna be really, REALLY surprised if they dont add it alongside su-35 in December. Thats more or less the only reason why they’d withhold from dropping it by now.

AMBER wasnt just a paper concept, It was integrated and demonstrated on the F-15 platform, however, there is no public evidence that operational F-15EXs currently use the 20-22 AIM-120 configuration.

To be completely fair, niether is there any proof of anything but su-35 using double 77 racks, yet here we are.

“They are likely compatable” (c) Gaijin.
“Weapons are balancing factor” (c) Gaijin as well.

gaijin will add amber if they want cause the devs follow different rules then us

from what a suggetion mod told me after i purposed a paper upgrade for scarnhorst after they gave the gniesnau its paper upgrade

“your Suggestion “Scharnhorst Refitted and rearmed” has been denied as its basically a paper project.
We cannot accept those.”

i asked why the gneiesnau got it and scarnhorst cant this was the response

“Whatever the Devs implement is not connected with our Suggestion Guidelines”

devs can implement paper stuff you cant

gripen is just here to to watch others do bvr.

but still lets not forget the POBIT who’s worse than the gripen at the same br.

Basically. We are at the point when vehicle’s IRL capabilites dont matter, funnily enough.

If GJ wants to give it 20 missiles, it will have them no matter what.
If GJ doesnt, it will have like 12-16 and all your reports will go straight into a shredder (“our internal sources say otherwise”) no matter what.

yeah devs can implement paper projects we cant tho
