F-15 Eagle: History, Performance & Discussion

Sounds like the other mav changes will be in the upcoming update, according to the leak list.

Is there a source for its magnification?

Goes to show you that FoV is not a good indicator of magnification (same as zoom in-game). In-game with real FoV, TCS would have 52-168x zoom. But irl it has lower magnification than the AGM-65D despite smaller FoV.

Do you know how it’s calculated?

Because I can’t understand how projecting 1.42 deg on a display results in 4x magnification while projecting 1.5 deg on a display that’s around the same size results in 16x magnification.

When can we get the BOL pods for the F-15A and C, at least??

The E could get them, although there is no solid evidence of the Strike eagle actually using them. You could’ve slapped a few pods on it and it would’ve worked

Looks like a strike eagle to me ngl

probably if you can find info about that specific squadron - you can report it as evidence that 15E had them

It’s the pretty shade of gray, I think that’s enough right?

well, i think that worth to try
also maybe argument that USAF F-15C mostly dont use CFTs, especially with bomb holders

F-15C
(It’s very rare for the F-15C to have CFTs that have bomb racks, being used mostly for A/A missiles)
