The F-15A/C/J family of planes are missing numerous hud symbology, including the shoot queue, radar range to target, steering point for missiles (lead indicator) and the breakaway symbol: Community Bug Reporting System
So if y’all wouldn’t mind upvoting and sharing these, I’d appreciate it. Hoping to get these fixed by next major update. More on the way too :)
To illustrate how much thrust is lost to drive the generators, hydraulic pumps, air cooling, pressurization, etc. The installed thrust of the F-15A was approximately 18,808 pounds and that of the more modern F-15C was approximately 19,300 pounds.
I know, but you said that the F-15 does not have a dual pylon for the GBU-53 like the Hornet does.
In theory it should be able to carry some small bombs pylons 1 and 9 too. The limit for those should be at least 500 (1100 lbs) kilos if you take the HARM that is approx. 360 kilos (800 pounds) and add the pylon too. The Dual AMRAAM rack should weight about the same.
One Stormbreaker is 200 lbs or 100 kilos, so, in theory, you would be able to equip the 53 on those stations
The pylon was not used mainly because of the observed problems with lateral stability and, to a lesser extent, because of the high wingtip stresses. The first meant great sensitivity to the aircraft’s lateral balance which the pylon made very bad with armament. Second, the F-15 does not have a movable leading edge, instead using a variable camber fixed leading edge. The wingtip is very curved and there was rapid damage and wear in this area that was worsening the pylon.
