What radar is the E getting? Still don’t understand why they are adding this variant now

Probably the AN/APG 70

They’re adding as an analogue to the Su-34 I believe. It won’t have anything substantial compared to current C Eagle in air battles.

Btw it’ll be heavier but not that much, if i’m not mistaken the f15C weighs around 12-13 ton while the f15e will get 15-16 ton, i think it’ll be a great plane.
Just compare graphs from flight manual, F-15E is barely better than tornado
Oh yeah, 28x SDB / AGM-187A (7x BRU-61A/A) + 4x AAMs

No. It was on another forum and moderator deleted it for some reason.

Oh that sucks.
And it was loaded F-15E vs empty Tornado TBH.

Ingame i think it may perform a bit worse than the mig29SMT, for comparison the su-34 weighs 22 ton which is 6 more than the standard su-27, that plane will be a super brick but the weaponry may compensate.
I wonder how poorly theyll model it

Itll murder sim matches. This thing will be able to complete most ground objectives on a map every sortie by itself…

No new engines?

I don’t know for sure, but the one they showed in the stream didn’t get new ones
Bvvd said no new engines for balance, so the best attacker isn’t also the best fighter.
“balance” lol, as if the Su-34 isn’t going to be the better a better attacker in game.

Apg-70 is getting ground radar for moving targets though, so that’s a plus.
It won’t be that good, it has a nice loadout of 6x kh38 but it lacks thermals, regarding flight performance it can turn more than the su27 due to the canards but it bleeds much much much much more energy.
For ground battles the su25sm3 might still be better just because of the thermals in my opinion.
Su-34 will never be better. lol lmao even.
Su-34 has no thermals, lacks weapon options, and is slower [not talking about supersonic speed].
