Gaijin can give the F-15 some 12 IIR Strombreakers and call it a day
Buff back the Brimstone, give me Spear missiles or sum. You want games to be completely over the moment someone spawns a jet.
The F-15E is a strike aircraft though, it makes sense it should have better strike payload than other fighters at the same BR. It’s like putting F-111A at 13.0 bc of its bomb load
not as sophisticated, not as good as CAP either. The F-111 is ok at its BR, definitely one of the stronger air to ground but nearly useless air to air. the F-15E is more than capable of defending itself (why its 14.0 ARB) and is easily the best 12.7 air to ground platform.
So it deserves to go up just because it doesn’t get dogged on by fighters with no difficulty and is actually able to do what it’s meant to do?
The Pantsir SAM caught up with me at a distance of 18 km, when I was flying at full speed away from it.
12.0 is ideal for such an aircraft.
Buff the brimstone, however, the Spear would be powered and iirc it’s only MMW guided unlike the GBU-53 that is IIR guided too. Make 'em limited too. Limit the JAGMs and the Strombreakers to only 6, same for the Spear and the brimstone (if given MMW seeker). The S1 can easily intercept most powered and unpowered ordnance, 6 would put them in the same situation as the mavs

Let’s compare their weapons.
Name the speed of the KH-38MT missile and its explosive mass.
And please name the speed of the AGM-65D Maveric and its explosive mass.
We will compare from this.
If they have the same performance characteristics, then in principle I agree that they should be on the same ballistic missile.
what about the other weapons present on the F-15E? you seem to be blatantly disregarding that. What about the weapons on other 12.7s? you seem only fixated on the russian CAS without considering other nations.
Someone gets it :)
12.0 is Harrier GR.7 level. You think that an F-15E and strike harrier are on par with eachother?
idc about GRB.
Give me all the munitions and ARB EC. Limit them by quantity not quality and put them in the damn game
15E is good. But it’s obviously not as good as su30, su34 and rafel.
and better than all 12.7s. Point is?
Very fair opinion. This thread is about GRB though.

Other weapons are ineffective at the top rank. There are two missiles, the AGM-65D or G and the KH-38MT. That’s what we’ll compare them on. Everything else is bombs that fly very slowly and require low speed to drop them, I think that’s simply not feasible. In addition, bombs are also present on earlier BRs.
The point is 15E will not ruin the game experience of those in 11.7. Instead those now in 13.0 will.
Since you seem to think the F-15E should be 12.0, lets compare it to the Harrier GR.7. Much worse flight performance, No radar, 2x IR missiles + BOL pods alongside a cas loadout of GBUs and mavericks only.
13.0 would also allow skilled US players to avoid all the clickbaits. I’m suprised people seem to think that its fair and balanced at 12.7 and a certain someone thinks it should be 12.0
