F-15E


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

We can see some clouds in the background. We can call that geoguesser guy to find the afb :)
That’s a very desserty looking sky. Maybe Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada???

The 391st Fighter Squadron operates here together with the F-15Es
Darker paint scheme and the squadron insignia seem to match

Seems to be the 366th Fighter Wing

Has anyone reported missing rockets pods on f15e?

Hasn’t even been a week yet lol.

But I don’t think so, you can check on bug report site

Made a report regarding F-15E top speed… which undeperforms
aswell considering that it is OPERATIONAL limit, not that it could theoreticly go…

This report isnt correct based on the data i know. For standard day conditions, clear at 40klb, it does 2.32 Mach as its top speed and this gently decreases with further altitude increase.

F-15C should be 300 kilos lighter

For some reason gaijin believes that is weight without “CFT internal equipment”. Despite McDonnell product support digest states that all F-15Cs from very first have CFT equipment integrated

I’ve seen in the past bug reports on it that the specified weight was without pilot and gun ammo or oil. In this source it is specified that that is the operating weight. 29000 lbs with ammo, pilot, oil and disposable fuel.
Radar range is also shit form 160 NM or 300 km instrumented range to just 120km. No supersearch or anything interesing. If they don’t fix my beloved F-15’s radar, I will pull an “American main” and request the AN/APG-82(V)1, although I see gaijin butchering that radar too :(

You could only do 82v1 for the E sadly

Sadly?
F-15E is better than any F-15(besides the I), although i love the C, the E is simply better. With the arrival of the 9X for ground i can only expect them on planes by this winter update. There goes the need to turn. Hell, give me the EX. Turning better than the E and with more missiles.

well i would also like to see it on the C, i dont mean E is bad i mean its sad theres only one variant where you can ask for the radar to be swapped to 82v1 (everything else has it from the start)

We can always ask AESA radar equipped F-15C version.
