Yes and no

Best cas
Best missile count
Best speed

But…

Not great flight perf
Not great missile
Not great fuel consumption

If we look at counter parts.

Su35
J16
Rafale

It’s not even close to best CAS, with current in-game weapons

Depends.

Also that is not guaranteed. 12 is standard which is what gaijin will most likely add. 16 is max and 22 is theoretical. IDK if there are any official source about it being able to carry 16 missile

It will get them.

Most sources i read is 16.

And we know the ex get the double rail on the wing pylon
And even some source says that it got the inner double rail ( quad aim120 ) same as 15c ge

Probably. Though like we have seen with the Abrams, probably not because the vehicle is actually bad or weak in anyway

Heck, F15C GE is in the top 5 aircraft according to Feb data, just barely behind the Italian AESA typhoon (which I use as a good benchmark for accurate performance)

the F15c Ge is the my best american plane rn(SIM) to counter su30sm2s who iron dome…i love it…but its super mid…

really?

because a lot of stuff should already be added for current US platforms.

for some reason gaijin seems to want to make sure the US fixed wing CAS is the worst of any tree at top tier

If it gets GBU 53 and 16 aim 120s, it would be an okay 14.7.
But having the brickish flight performance of the f-15e when eurofigher exists will be kinda garbage.
If it gets only 12 aim 120s then it’s low k doa
