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

Just quick correction, its 16 A2A missiles total( 20 if CFT AMBER racks are pursued) but only 12 could be AIM-9Xs. All 16 or 20 could be 120s, but the fuselage stations do not support 9Xs.

Edit: actually currently it might be just 12, with a max of 8 AIM-9Xs. I thought I had seen pictures of the double racks for stations 2 and 8 on F-15EXs, but I can’t seem to find them now. I do think we would see them before we see the CFT AMBER racks however due to the decision not to purchase more CFTs with the EXs.

Is this the picture you were talking about, right? However, it is not the F-15EX, but I imagine it could be still applicable and transferable over to the F-15EX.

I have updated the weapons section and set it to a normal configuration for now.

Here is a clear image I found with a clean and normal A-2-A configuration:

Way too high. This isn’t a stealth aircraft, and the general airframe is already in War Thunder. It’s just AESA and 4 more missile stores.

33

That is indeed an F-15C, i thought i saw pictures of the double racks on the F-15EXs under the overhangs at Eglin, but i can’t find them now. I might be conflating them with the pictures of JASSMs and Stations 1 & 9 loaded.

The double racks are definitely compatible, same as the CFT double racks, but i dont know if they have been yet.

34

the difference between the worst and the Best Phantom (excluding the ICE) is 6 BR steps so why would it be different for the F-15?

35

Imagine just having one of the best radars in the game paired with 20 something JATM’s

36

It appears whoever made that statement had to withdraw it and instead affirmed the official top speed of 2.5+ mach in a normal configuration.

Sources:

But again, it’s just journalism, and it is possible Boeing and US Air Force may downplay it since the F-15EX is pretty in the territory of top secrets, off limits to us.

Cause the worse F-15 doesn’t use AIM-9Es and AIM-7Ds while lacking flares.
EJ Kai, which is still not F-15’s armament, is the closest to the “worst” F-15, 1BR lower than F-4F ICE.

38

but, itll use a new type of radar with improved efficency, just like the change from Non PD to PD in the late phantoms

it’ll use a much better Medium range missiles then F-15A has

it’ll use a much better Short range IR missle too, Just like the phantoms

39

It’ll use AIM-120Cs, and at most AIM-9Xs.
AIM-120D/260s will be reserved for the stealth era, mark those words.

40

I will not because this is a simple assumption from you that isn’t based on anything official

41

I think you’re wrong there. Especially given they should add variants of the F-15C and F-15E with AESA, AIM-9X and 120Cs at minimum, but even those are compatible with 120Ds and 260s

42

AIM-120D and 260 have no-escape ranges for non-stealth aircraft.
So it’ll be better to add them with stealth aircraft that never face non-stealth aircraft. AKA later F-35.

43

As far as i know the AIM-260’s production rate should be larger than the AIM-120’s by 2028 or smth like that. I think it will be standardized for all new platforms but you might be right. It depends

44

Now the Su-27SM has 12 missiles can we get the F-15EX:)) LMAO

Wrong, 12 misiles no, up to 20 misiles according to this pictures of the F-15EX.
F-15EX
Amber-F-15

So F-15EX is an actual misile mothership.

Up to 20 AIM-120s.

Up to 8 AIM-9Xs.

I don’t SEE any pictures of it carryng AIM-9X on the extra pylons.

But still this monster Will be the perfect count when the EF Typhoon gets added with it’s MBDA METEORs, wich btw has 2xtimes the range of the AIM-120D.
