They just don’t like CFT’s on F-15C’s

Later they can get it. Last time I read somewhere in 2024.
(If you ask me, the whole F-15EX project is simply funny, and especially the reasoning which many ppl. are saying to justify the acquisition.)

Meme stolen from pantherdrivermemes on Instagram…F-15EXs are missile trucks, decoys, in theory cheaper to operate 4.5 gen and less wear and tear on the fragile 5th gens. Hi-Low mix kinda like what the original intent of the Viper was. Unfortunately, Vipers don’t have the missile load out and the size of the F-15 nose means its always going to have more powerful radar, so it was really the best pick for the USAF. I’m also really interested as IRST and other things become more and more capable how 5th Gen stays stealthy because they do not have the built IR shielding like the F-117 does for instance. But maybe that’s the “chromed” surfaces we are seeing on F-22/F-35/and even F-117s

@spectrclaw - actually, what you don’t want on you at the merge is 5 extra tons of anything…so if your primary mission is A/A, you’re going to leave them on the deck.

This meme is utterly stupid.
A non stealth plane does not enable anything for stealth plane.
The reality is just the opposite… -
Hey y’all. Been hearing about the F-35 forum for months now and it’s still in my head, not letting me to look at other aircraft except the F-35(for me it’s the only fighter I love in the world). I have a few questions about the development of the F-35A and what features will be included in the near future. The first question I’d like to ask is, will there be liveries for the current air forces and for the air forces that will require them in the upcoming years(like the HAF)?
-
@LIGHTNING35 it can only exist as a 3D shell with f-16 systems for now…
BMS is a 2000 era game and will stay
-
@MaxWaldorf That’s fine. Irl, the F-35 had used F-16 systems for testing in the early block stages. I think.

Hi, Lightning. In the OFM Family of Theaters we’ve focused a bit more on the F-35C, but hopefully that can trickle down to the A. We are looking at it as we suspect the A may be involved in some stability issues we’ve seen. Meanwhile, we invite you to check out the A and give us your feedback.
As for skins, go over to the Community Mods sections, skins and textures and see what’s there. You can request skins there, as well. -
A f-35 pit (rather than the f-22) would be awesome! Helipack with heli pits and/or Gripen would be great too:) It doesn’t matter if everything doesn’t work (all the buttons) to begin with…
Thanks for all your great work, I’m happy with what I got:)
But, yeah, I sometimes play BMS 4.33, just for the sake of Gripen (with a Viggen pit). -
