American F-15E Strike Eagle Engines

Wtf are you talking about? The US already has the best air tree in game.

Besides, now it is impossible to take 8 AIM-120 without cone fuel tanks.

I hope one of the CMs can respond to this topic in due time. We need a response from Gaijin. The majority of us, overwhelming want these planes to be equal. I implore Gaijin to change their decision, and reply with an official statement to this topic. ❤️

Its unrestricted. You can take 8 AMRAAMs without CFTs

Edit: typo

Prob hes about that gaijin didnt give option to mount AMRAAMs without CFT

Oops typo I meant to say without

A long time ago, I feared that they were going to make the USAF F-15E implementation dirty. Here we are. If the F-15E ends up having the -220 engines in the live server, it’s going to be marketed as F-15E (Early). Then, they are going to introduce another F-15E (Late) featuring a more powerful APG-82 radar and uprated -229 engines.

However, given that this F-15E version has HMD and more modern weapons, it makes even less sense. Therefore, my vote goes to the implementation of the PW-229s into the USAF F-15E.

A good compromise I can get around is that they are going to make it a special engine modification, where it replaces the -220 with the -229 without re-adding the new F-15 late version. They can add AN/APG-82(V) AESA radar as a special modification in the existing aircraft later in the future patches for us to unlock further improved capabilities.

+1 for visibility.

At this time there is no reason the 229 should not be on the E along with no reason currently that the F-15I lacks AGM-65s or Israeli made guided weapons.

Israel never had or used AGM-65 on their F-15Is, so why should they get them? Unlike the F-15E, which used improved engines.

Besides, F-15I already has an advantage with a larger countermeasure amount which also aren’t blocked by targeting pods, it doesn’t and shouldn’t get AGM-65s but rather its domestic ordnance.

I do think that’s a more realistic and fair way to fix this, give the F-15E the upgraded engines, and give the F-15I the extra countermeasures, a buff for both planes to make everyone happy and keep the game realistic

Got a source for that since Israel did have AGM-65s in circulation and the F-15I is wired for them, all they would need to do to install them would be to, well, slide the AGM-65s they had onto the aircraft.

Should lose its unhistorical AGM-65’s in that case

The proof is that you’ll never find any source or picture showing the F-15I had AGM-65, and given that they replaced the electronic with their own, the argument that it is wired for AGM-65 is questionable.

F-15E (USAF) and F-15S (RSAF) only armed AGM-65. my guess

AN/AAQ-19

I would love to see it in game but not yet. Because Gaijin Entertainment is struggling their improvements on their interfaces, such as battle ratings, radars, missiles, and gun smoke. I personally think they should focus on improving the in-game development. That way it would make the game more fun and enjoyable. This way they wouldn’t have any trouble adding the more advanced stuff.

Give american f15e its 229 engine now! its unfair!

Both the E and I should have Litening III pods or Sniper ATP pods, the navigation pod is not used for AGM-65 targeting when a dedicated TGP is onboard.

Not to mention we don’t even have the AN/AAQ-14 or 19 in game so this point is irrelevant.

Heck most F-15Is only fly with a TGP to begin with so the navigation pod’s configuration is irrelevant if its not even on the aircraft normally.

Reasoning with BVvd is like talking to a wall. Maybe the Chinese were right all along

Hurr durr too op, gives it to the jews either way

The E started its life with LANTIRN, so why shouldn’t it get LANTIRN?

That’s why the navigation pod isn’t in-game, only the AAQ-14 and AAQ-19.

AN/AAQ-14 on F-15E

ATM the F-15I has no targeting pod whatsoever, though it historically used an AN/AAQ-19.
The AAQ-19 was unable to use AGM-65s.
