This eagle was modified to carry much bigger load and with 5th gen technology and new powerful engines

>As for the F-15's air-to-air missile carrying capabilities, a dozen AIM-120s is very impressive, but with the addition of new launcher-racks called the Advanced Missile and Bomb Ejection Rack (AMBER) that number could end up nearly doubling for the F-15SA and its successors to a whopping 22 missiles in total.

Razgriz best unit.

I always wonder if Macross-style micromissiles might actually make sense soon. If guidance systems get good enough that you can get like a 50% probability of a direct hit for each missile, then it might make sense to have shitloads of little missiles with 40mm grenade-sized warheads for close-range missile fighting instead of the current 10 foot long multimillion dollar monstrosities.

Something like this?

>The F-15SA is an incredibly capable machine, featuring some key changes from its progenitor, the F-15E Strike Eagle. These include a full fly-by-wire flight control system, APG-63V3 Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar, digital electronic warfare and radar warning suite, missile launch detection system, updated flat-panel display cockpits with helmet mounted displays in both cockpits and an infrared search and track system, known as “Tiger Eyes,” built into the left intake targeting pod pylon.

There will never be another major war (not counting civil), or at least there won't until somehow nuclear deterrents are made obsolete.

No?

well the eagle is still the best engineered strike fighter

>But the main purpose of the weapon, also known as the small advanced capabilities missile (SACM) would be to intercept and destroy incoming enemy missiles, such as the long-range, Chinese-made PL-12 and Russian-made Vympel RVV-BD
>Intercepting Vympel RVV-BD
Sorry, mutts, you will first have to figure out Mach 6 AAMs. If you start now, probably in 10 years lockmart come up with a conceptual design for $0.99 million a piece.

It's not like the D-15 is relatively stealthy anymore:

You could mount 12 AMRAAMs on a fucking Gripen. Its nothing special.

Can you mount 12 AMRAAMS, plus two drop tanks, plus SNIPER/LANTIRN on a Gripen?

Imbecile.
That is besides that Fail-15 absolutely has to carry drop tanks and pods like a true invalid that it is. And it can't even launch 4 of its petards without releasing its drop tanks. That will probably get stuck anyway because it's a rotten piece of amerishit.

Nice try

The F-15 can carry 30,485kg of fuel internally (disregarding the CFT's, which add 750 US gallons).
The Su-35 can carry 11,500kg of fuel internally.

>using missiles which can get blown the fuck up by lazers
Why not just use fucking lazer weapons? You can't shoot down light. You can't dodge light. It's going to hit 100% of the time.

And if they develope some kind of heat resistant shielding (which, is only partially what lazers can do. lol fry the pilot with radiation), you would use kinetic weapons instead of stupid ass missiles. Railguns user, RAILGUNS.

Or some kind of like... kinetic projectile being shoved inside a missile that just get's close enough to it's target before setting off a warhead which then propels a depleted uranium dart to insane speeds.

Cloud cover, particle cover (from dust, smoke, etc) can disperse laser beams though, right?

>The F-15 can carry 30,485kg of fuel
*merican kilograms of *merican fuel, so probably like 6 proper European tonnes.

That doesnt excuse the fact that the Su-35 has absolutely abysmal fuel capacity.

That they suck giant ass compared to round 2D nozzles when it comes to maneuverability due to impossibility of placing them at angle, and especially compared to round 3D nozzles.

Attached: mig-29 ovt.jpg (1000x630, 628K)

"Abysmal", as in bottomless compared to typical fuel capacity of amerishit.

Y'know what round 3D nozzles suck at? Stealth.
Oh geez, do they even teach basic mathematics in Russia? Or is it just that good ol' alcohol poisoning depleting the last few brain cells you have?

Call me back when you will have a fighter with over 9 tonnes external fuel capacity, fucking hobo.

sure it can, nigger
pic related, it still has 2 large empty hardpoints in the middle

Attached: DNR56XkX0AAmnhG.jpg (1104x736, 93K)

You could mount 12 AMRAAMs, a pod, two AIM-9s and probably tanks too if you used an adaptor where you mount tanks and AMRAAMs on the same pylon like that F-15 in your pic has.

*merishit fail-14: 7,350 kg
*merishit fail-15: 6,100 kg
*merishit fail-16: 3,200 kg (lol)

Now thats (inlike your original pic) quite impressive

Still has some empty space, with the new Cuda missiles this beast will be able to carry approx 28 missiles

are they planning to wipe out airforces with a squadron of these ?

>Cuda missiles
wtf I meant SACM

the f22 is a stealth aircraft. The nozzles of that engine are designed specifically to dissipate heat as quickly as possible so it can't be tracked by thermals.

It's got a really strange exhaust shape for that reason/

Boeing dropped the Silent Eagle concept years ago because they realised that trying to stealthify a non-stealthy aircraft is fucking retarded.

Use the RAM from the F-35 that's being tested on the F-16 and F-18, scale up the radar blockers from the superbug (new engines will make up for power loss)

Those aren't laser pods.
There's an actual laser beam pod in AC7 that acts like an actual laser beam (even if it does emit visible light, but then again visual spectacle overrules realism).

If they’re really Shiite ones then I wouldn’t mind but maybe there’s some type of failsafe in the fighters

even if they aren't laser pods, that nerdy shit defies the laws of physics
oh, I feel retarded

Maybe they're so strapped for pilots they have to take anyone with experience holding a control stick. The bad guys are all about mass drone spam after all.

Stop it I can only get so hard

If I’ve never played Ace Combat where’s a good place to get started?

Ace Combat 04

The PS2 games, AC4, 5 and Zero.
They're generally considered the best, and they set up the Strangereal universe that all the good games follow.
After that, you can try the older PS1 games (I recommend AC3 since that's trippy as fuck, and has some slick scifi planes), and then if you have an Xbawx, Ace Combat 6.

Attached: AC7SU_3_1485425734.jpg (1920x1080, 1.57M)

Oured city

Buy a PS2 and get the holy Trinity that is Ace Combat 4, 5, and 0. Next, if you have an Xbox 360/One, get AC6. If You're REALLY dedicated, find a PSP and get Ace Combat X/X-2.

The rest is optional.

Or if he has a halfway decent PC he can emulate the PS1, PS2 and PSP games.

She's... beautiful. It's going to be amazing seeing this line of planes winning over and over for the next century.

Thought if you had the physical copy, you could since the firmware update that unlocked the hardware/software to be able to read all least gen games or something. I remember there being a big fuss about it for a bit since we it was in the system the entire time.
