Their F-15C Baz got buffed later on so it’s identical to the american one

yup but still he got this title for good amount of time

That is true but that’s because gaijin somehow wasn’t aware that the Baz meshupar had the same radar/abilities as the american C, this situation is different because gaijin is 1000% aware that the F-15E could use the 229 engines yet they refuse to add them

and on that i fully agreed

They still have the same copy pasted statcard from the F-15A baz on the F-15C baz, and everyone thought the meshupar was way better than the C, performance wise for a long time

I guess technically I misspoke. It’s not absolutely required, but single pod puts intense restrictions on maneuverability because of stability issues. Which compounds with further Assymetry. So F-15E side, it’s operationally required. You’ll only see one occasionally in training, and OT tails. Not something you’d ever see on deployment. Atleast US side. The Ra’am is a different aircraft with different rules, can’t speak to it.
Somewhere around page 6-12 iirc in the -1 you’ll find the numbers. I dont remember the exact page. Can’t post it in here obviously.
But they were? And it’s easy to find pictures of Lakenheath jets with CFTs removed
btw the BAZ MESHUPAR got more air to ground capibilitis even tho its air superior base but WT dont realize that in game (its about jdam mostly gps and electronics)

They were not. And pictures mean jack. I can find you dozens of pictures of OT and LN jets with things the 15E is not actually supposed/allowed to do. Like 28 SDBs. The BRUs on the wings cant be jettisoned so 28 isnt permitted due to safety concerns.
Or LAU-88s with ordnance on the CFTs. Also not allowed, but can still find pics of it from fit and testing. Not that mavericks were around long anyways though.
I’d tell you to rtfm, but I doubt you actually have access to any of the docs.
Lol I realised something else even that makes this even more bizarre. Semi-serious but it has to do with this loadout:
AFAIK this loadout has only been seen since 2021. And what’s worse is that this is not a combat load, or rather the upper rows of JDAMs (mounted to the CFT) are not useable, as the F-15E has no mil-std-1760 data busses there. Little silly, and the loadout will probably be removed on live, but it does show it’s technically now a 2021+ F-15E.
If devs have information that mil-std-1760 databusses were mounted to the CFTs, then surely this must be really recent then… I don’t know if that ever happened though and more importantly if it did happen, it very likely must’ve been on an F-15E with -229s, no reason to spend more money on upgrading -220 F-15Es over -229 engined ones, unless it was fleet wide…?

Was that payload associated strictly with the F-15EX or was it something separate from the program?

Just regular F-15E strike eagles. Seemed to have been tested in early 2021 and a bit later was seen used “operationally”. Apparently 6 F-15Es were being relocated so they were carrying 12 JDAMs to transport them faster.

They don’t. As it hasnt happened to a single jet. And never will. Only ferry. Wayyyy too expensive, talking kilometers of wiring required. The E is an old jet, nearing end of life. EX however does have smart CFTs. As do the other advanced eagles.
9 usable, 6 for ferry.
Might be that Gaijin got confused with the EX then. I suppose as much as it pains me to say, probably the 6 JDAMs on the CFTs need to be bug reported (if it hasn’t been already). But also fun fact, I do not have sources on me to disprove it either, so Gaijin better figure it out on their own lol.
And an issue with that is that no NATO country has an equivalent system as everything NATO has that is equal to or greater than is a two piece system. TOR imo is fairly balanced as while it has long range and a great radar, good luck hitting anything close with that vertical launch. Pantsir just blows everything out of the water in terms of capability and with nothing to counter it that isn’t Russian itself.

Give him F-15E flight manual, let him prove that…
Yeah it’s almost certain they are not working with any up to date -1s and -34s. or SMEs. It’s not DCS, they put minimal effort into true accuracy.
Easy to read things the wrong way with the 15E. It’s easily one of the most complicated jets in US inventory. More load restrictions than you can imagine.
Cant even use manuals to prove it’s wrong. As they’re all ITAR protected. And anything Suite 5 or newer is restricted.
Lol, LMAO even.
Sure bud, whatever you say.
Same exact jet BTW. I definitely don’t know anything about my own airplane…

Gonna ping Smin tomorrow for a statement on this. I think Gaijin might cave to the pressure.
