Boeing F-15EX Eagle II - Sharpening the Bald Eagle's Talons

I call the J10 series the Temufighter

100% agree on that. It can come now but my point is that dening Russian bias is a dumb argument and can be proven wrong pretty easily. That is without mentioning the bad legal things that Gaijin have done

There is a bit of bias for Germany but most of it is dealing with coping German mains

It definitly does. Britain for example has so many vehicles that can be added but instead there are C&P vehicles and subtrees that don’t need to be there but in-game are needed to do many lacking things

You aren’t convincing me any further using this, just makes me think you are some 12 year old

Have you played Russia? If you have not played russia or russian tanks in other TTs you have NO right to complain about russian bias. I used to also be a beliver in russian bias due to the IS-2, but when I unlocked the IS-2 i realized it is not some biased vehicle, just simply one with good stats(e.g. the Spitfire)

If you are only going to use britain as an argument, you ain’t going anywhere; Every main will victimize themselves. Just check out Japanese, Russian, American, Chinese or any other main. Reason why “Russian bias” is discussed so much is simply because there are much more US and German mains
There are so many vehicles that can be added for all tech trees
If you are going to use vehicles as an argument, just see China. We have the unfortunate title of “C&P” because we had little unique vehicles in game, which in fact there are many chinese vehicles that can be added.

Can you guys please take this off-topic conversation to DMs? None of this is relevant to the F-15EX suggestion.

I agree; @Sea_Harrier_FRS1 DM me instead

I noticed a mistake in the suggestion. The powerplant would be the F110-GE-129 or the first batches with the F100-PW-229.
The F110-GE-129 would be far more accurate tho

I agree, and I corrected it to the F110-GE-129 now. I shall start to overhaul my history and specs sections later by this evening.

I’ve completely retouched the F-15EX Eagle II suggestion post. I got rid of old and junk articles and replaced them with current, reliable materials. I’ve organized them neatly in the sources section.

The suggestion is now updated with improvements and accurate information as of now. If I have missed anything or forgotten to add something, then feel free to ping me here on this thread.

Here’s a YouTube video of F-15 EX Eagle II performing an unrestricted climb.

Also, it appears no one has yet mentioned the new F-15EX Lot 2 aircraft. Here it is:

Here’s a footage of the EX9’s first flight:

What is different from lot 1?

Nothing new, just how the budgeting for aircraft works out and where money comes from.

Yep, like what warthogboy09 said. Also, I found this excerpt from an unpaywalled article that mentions possible differences. Just a heads up - it’s from journalism, so take it with a grain of salt since they might be wrong about some details.

I believe the F-15EX Lot 2 aircraft is upgraded to withstand the cyberattacks better. Earlier, a single F-15EX Lot 1B was subjected to cybersurvivability testing where they collected data to assess the performance of the F-15EX under cyberattack. Then, the Lot 2 aircraft would be upgraded to strengthen its cybersecurity. It will be subjected to another cybersurvivability evaluation scheduled this year.

This is a piece of official information I found in the DOT&E FY2024 Annual Report. Start on page 320.

Information about the F-15 Eagle Passive Active Warning Survivability System (EPAWSS) can be found on page 316.

I recently learned that in real life there is already an AIM-9X Block II+ and now the AIM-9X Block III is entering service. In our game we still don’t even have the first AIM-9X, which was developed in the 90s.

What difference does it make what series it is. If we introduce Hornet C with the old AIM-9M and AIM-120B, which have already been removed from service. Even if Gaijin introduces F-22 tomorrow, it will have AIM-9M and AIM-120A.

I think the f22 could only carry the 120c as It has clipped wings.

A bit to early for the 9X but FIXES for american aircraft an missiles won’t hurt.

The F-22 will most probably use the 9M and the 120C-5 as this one is already in the files.
I don’t think that the first block would be anything to op. It won’t have the JHMCS and the 9X making it really hard getting rounds on target with just TVC. It will probably be a beast in BVR tho. Especially if gaijin integrates EW until then.

Anyways. This is an F-15EX thread.
There is a posibility that (in war thunder) the EX will be more useful than the F-22 but we know
more or less nothing about the F-15EX. It could remain like this or it could receive more powerful engines and a better radar and the EPAWSS v2 might have MAWS and better ECM. Who knows?

In our game it will only carry the AIM-120A.

My God, we still don’t have AIM-9X in the game, what AIM-120C-5 are we talking about? Gaijin will never introduce such an imbalance.

We are closer to the C-5 than the X
