Lmao you say things like this but the US variants gets the Engine F100-PW-229 while it should come with the F100-PW-220.
Only the Israeli variant should have the F100-PW-229.

There is already room for 2 strike eagle variants, the one added this patch should’ve come as a -220 armed F-15E with the early AMRAAMS and AIM-9Ms, but now we have a shitty frankestein between a 90s variant and a modern one, while the F-15I has been added as it was purchased, with no Israeli weapons or modifications made to it, I imagine a second Ra’am will come but idk about a second US strike eagle

No, it shouldn’t they both should have 229s the main issue here is Gaijin’s decision on not adding Israel’s domestic weapons.
all they have done is make their own jobs harder in the future with the implementation of the strike eagles

If this is your way of thinking, then Israel should have gotten then current day F-15I, not the first one bought in the 90’s. The first production of the F-15E created in the 70’s, did not come with 229 but conveniently gets the upgraded engine.

Indeed. Its the only platform IDF has that can hold on a bunker buster GBU-28/BLU122 with 4000 pounds. No sirs, the B2 is not the only one that can carry it. The F-15i can and does.
But yes, the BB would be useless in game.
eh it would be a funny way to decimate a spawn but would just be impractical compared to a more conventional CAS loadout
The current f15E gaijin added is not an early version of f15e though since it can carry GBU39 and has HMD. The majority of the f15E fleet has 229s engines very few still use 220s.

Yeah… that makes it even worse pal.
The GBU-39 is a weapon system from 2006~, the F-15E currently in game, as other has stated is a Frankenstein f-15

The only issue I see here is the lack of domestic ground ordinance for Israel which probably will come next update since it is such an issue now.
I have never seen a photo with an Mav loaded on a F-15i, although we know that IDF does have such ammunition.
In fact the F-15i are carrying heavy GPS and laser guided ammunition.
I have not even seen a F-16i Sufa, every carrying a Mav.
IDF prefers cheaper ammo to hit hamas or hezbollah, not worth an AGM-65G ;-) Think on how many MK-83 u can drop for the price of a single AGM-65G
Make your search:
F-100-PW-229EEP as made it’s way to Legacy F-15E’s of USAF.
And the EEP stands for “Engine Enhancement Package” and is the same exact engine as the -229 delivered with F-15I.
So now prove that F-15I ever used once an AGM-65 if you still want it.
What i mention? It’s only the iceberg surface.
