F-15 Eagle: History, Performance & Discussion

In the bottom comment. Guy who posted it didn’t actually understand what he read and thinks it applies to chaff and flares and not just flares*

Gonna take a guess and say theyre modelling this:

Either that or either the dataminer or the devs making the change made a typo

Did they not put them on USAF ones?

I think f15e can carry JSOW, as when Singapore ordered their F-15 they asked for JSOW, which heavily implies that strike eagles can not only carry but are compatible with JSOW

Here’s my test flight of the F-15I. I’m losing speed and altitude at 57,000 feet.



Here’s the F-111F’s performance chart (it doesn’t even come close to this in game)
The F-15E/I in game is underperforming compared to a plane with 18 kN less thrust per engine and a bypass ratio of .878 vs the PW-229’s .35.

In fact all planes are underperforming at alt in game because:

That and their drag model. Something something AIM-7F longer burning more powerful motor to get its time to target right because the drag in WT is way too high.

Why not just use its own charts? You should be able to find it online.
Here are some of them: F-15E and F-15I should go to 14.0+ - #126 by Giovanex05

Export ones can have additional hardware/software for compatability

i mean all the mounting and wiring is standardized, at worst its a software update away from being able to use JSOWs

also F-15E has been tested with JSOW but they never put them into full use

Those graphs aren’t what I was talking about. But they do bring up another point. If someone says a plane’s turn is overperforming, they just increase its drag and reduce its thrust to match at one specific altitude, which makes the top speed even worse in the process.


through pain and humiliation… i found it.

What is the significance of this?
I am guessing it outlines a lot of implemented and planned modernizations, giving us a proof for certain capabilities for some aircraft that we would have otherwise not have, as they are still modern and their manuals are classified.

You are absolutely right.

the aim 7m, aim 7f still missing fully locked targets in a head on.

It’s super easy to out roll a sparrow

*at specific point

Initially (on the early F-15As and Bs) they were present back in the late 70s, but they got removed due to issues with maintenance. The same happened for the F-15E

Why it is prohibited to take AIM-7 with fuel tanks?

At least,the level flight speed at normal battle altitude is in line with expectations.
The test flight is consistent with “std day”+“0g”.
2.40.0.65 test flight modified the fm code, increasing the speed of broken(to mach3, ias 2000kph).

However, the new problem is that the maximum flight speed on paper of the F-15E in the game is up to 2700kph,which is actually impossible to achieve.Maybe they need to modify the data card.

I was was decelerating at Mach 1.1 at 57,000ft so it’s missing a lot of power at high altitudes.
