The F-15 rips again. Like bro i want to climb 100 meters and then do a roll and that’s it i have no more wings. WTF gaijin
Theyare also not moving when you are sitting in the cockpit lol. My report is still open about that.
This went unanswered earlier so I’ll ask, isn’t the F-15C supposed to have BOL pods?

It should, in fact F-16C should have it since rails are compatible with them.

Can APG-63V3 guide several sparrows simultaneously?
To same target? Yes
To multiple targets? No, at least thats how it works in game.
I am talking about future F-15 aesa radar. Not currently in game
Sorry didnt realized you were talking about V3.
But principle shouldnt be different because Sparrows requires hard lock, so unless V3 can hard lock multiple targets simultaneously it shouldnt be possible.
Then again why would you use Sparrows with V3? By the time V3 gets added we will probably recieve Aim-120C-7’s.
Just interested
None, I don’t Think the F-15 with APG-63V3 carries the Sparrow
AIM-120 AMRAAM capability only
F15A missing MRM Time-To-Go, which now only F15Cs have

They can’t make a new radar entirely for god sake.
Technically even the 63v1/ APG-70 has a dual lock mode, which allows for guidance of 2 sparrows at 2 targets at once. Unreliable and basically never used but possible. With AESA it is more than possible as you have multiple beams which can be focused in different directions. Unnecessary since you won’t be carrying SARHs, but possible.

F15s tested proper HMDs in the between 1986-1987. I knew HMS were tested during aimval/aceval but never proper HMDs.
And it was lighter(2.6 lbs) than the HGU-55P at 3.2 pounds.
Spoiler
Vertical Scan, Boresight and Supersearch were removed in favor of HMD Supersearch and HMD Boresight. It also removed the slaving between the radar and AIM9 seeker when in use, so you could fire an aim9 while the sparrow was doing its job on something else.

These were the results during 4 weeks, more kills and better exchange ratio

They actually do train Free For All lmao
The perfect recipe for a disaster but never happens
They also train 2v8s OCA and DCA. Shows how dire the situations they trained for. Outnumbered against waves of enemy fighters. Truly shows their skills and intensity they expected on western central europe.

This was in a simulator unfortunately if I recall correctly. MACS is the name of a simulator setup, though it doe show just how early they were put into testing

Can the F-15C we have in game carry the AIM-120D?
you are right.
I’m now wondering how expensive it would’ve been to do the wiring on an airframe. Weird how favorable results didn’t led on an earlier implementation on HMD
I don’t think the modifications would have been too invasive, though I do think cost is what prevented it from being integrated. By this time the writing is on the wall that the USSR isn’t going to be a threat in the foreseeable future, budgets are being to shrink, and the ATF program is well underway which is supposed to entirely replace the F-15. Combine that with the success without it in desert storm and further evidence in the rest of the 90s, it kind of makes sense why despite being a great tool, it kind of takes a back foot to ensuring radar upgrades aren’t sacrificed for an HMD in budget. Lots of testing done, but no widespread adoption. It takes a joint project to force the JHMCS over the finish line as well
