Thats an F-15C, the one you posted had conformal fuel tanks. Making it an E in all likelihood.
yeah i realized, also darker color scheme
i think they would either limit it to 4 amraams or 6 with sidewinders on the outer rails
Those are the two in-board pylons still, I was unsure if it was able to mount them initially on the outboard pylons.
What exactly does the C model improve on other than radar?
operationally i dont think they mounted it with 8 amraams often even though it could, max usually being 6 and 2 winders iirc
not much but that change is quite significant
engines too
late cs also got apg 70s and some other pretty wacky stuff
8, all amraam capable eagles can carry 8 amraams on all weapon stations.
Funny thing is that those aren’t late C’s. Just late 80s Cs…Most of the improvements on F15s were electronical stuff(Which we wont see modelled)
Dual target for AIM-7M indicates PESA or AESA. I suppose that could refer to the AN/APG-63(V2) which incorporated the AESA.
Did the MSIP F-15A’s ever get it?
I don’t know, it would have been very recent. They only got the AN/APG-63(V1) in ~2001.
Hud is just wrong. Gun cross should be 2° higher than the Fuselage line(waterline- the w)

Gaijin artificially levels all guns to the plane’s horizon to help with gameplay (i don’t like it but it is what it is)
it was actually a thing in the APG-70 for the F-15E but my understanding is the dual sparrow thing was more hypothetical and unsurprisingly it never worked (mechscan does that to a mf) and the mode was removed in later suites
Well, the F-15C models got the AN/APG-63(V2) in 2000, the F-15A I am not sure. Either way it is discussing the AN/APG-63 which indicates that it would have had to be the V2 it’s discussing.
