yeah, pretty much. they are ALE-47 dispensers though, so on the EX and E, they can carry BriteCloud 218 active decoy countermeasures

i think the f15IA might have more since israel has a tendency to give its planes additional countermeasures
Can’t carry more than any other Advanced Eagle, and that’s without even bothering with the missing BOL CMs on US Eagles.

I pray that the U.S air force will have a crazy idea and take a photo of the EX with BOL on. Every single Eagle can take BOL, even the E. I’ve made a bug report on the E and they said that it never carried them. The A/C are still missing the BOL

If you want to improve a bug report on this, look into proving the F-15E/EX is compatible with the LAU-128B/A or LAU-128C/A.

f15IA will have more, israel almost always give its planes more countermeasures
That’s what i kinda did. The bug report manager said “it never carried it”.
Would anyone happen to know if the F-15EX offers improved TWR compared to the current F-15E in-game?
Even if it is - not by much, maybe a bit lighter systems
F-100-PW-229 have only marginal difference in thrust from F-110-GE-129
this says 14,500kg empty weight, slightly heavier than F-15E but because GE-129 is slightly better in AB, it should balance it out
Where did the suggestion post get 15,694kg then?
wikipedia maybe, thats listed as 15,694kg too
As far as I know, the official figure for the empty weight has not been released to the public, and it’s not feasible to obtain an accurate number at this time.
Indeed, it’s from Wikipedia.
This is the only source I’ve found that provides a different figure for the empty weight. Unfortunately, I can’t confirm its reliability, as I lack other independent sources to verify it. Wikipedia isn’t a trustworthy source either. Maybe I should update the empty weight to reflect a range of estimates (14,500 to 15,700 kg) instead.

14,500 seems more right to me since it’s more in line with strike eagle weight, and I don’t see where it’s getting an extra ton and a half from.
But yeah, updating it wouldn’t hurt

Looking over suggestion again, does USAF use Tiger Eye IRST pod? If not, replace it with LEGION pod since that’s meant for USAF F-15’s.
Also, please remove IRST21 since that is exclusively on Super Hornets.
If you can, add on the GBU-53, GBU-56 LJDAM, GBU-54 LJDAM, AGM-158C LRASM (this one is being integrated now)
Could potentially see it modified with the GE-132 engine in the future. However, due to the acquisition strategy used for the EX program there was not enough time to integrate it in the initial purchase.

USAF F-15EXs do not use the Tiger Eye IRST pod, and you’re correct—I’ve fixed that.
While that’s true, the F-15EX’s Legion pod does include an IRST21 sensor. I’ve revised it to reflect that the Legion pod incorporates this feature.
I’ve also added the AGM-158C with a note that its integration is planned but not yet completed. As for other munitions, I haven’t found any official news confirming their use on the F-15EX (though they are used on the predecessor F-15E). If you’ve seen sources indicating their use on the F-15EX, please share them so I can update the weapons list accordingly.
On a side note, I’ll eventually need to update the history section to keep it current, as much of the information I have is now outdated due to these new details.

Due to F-15EX and F-15E having nearly identical avionics, and UAI integration, as well as the same hardpoints (except for outer wing on EX) I am fairly certain that anything an F-15E can take an F-15EX can also take.
for LJDAM specifically, I made a bug report about them and one of the most important things was that LJDAM can go anywhere a regular JDAM can.
