Hopefully they give it the other versions too that are more useful for ground RB.
I made a report of the f15c missing bol pods

It was made arleady
I figured it couldn’t hurt making a new one. I just wish the f15c would have Bol pods by now

I wish BOL worked properly…
Yeah, I saw that they are supposed to be more effective than standard flares and chaff
even current not that bad - a lot of chaffs
Based on tail number, it should be a -220 jet. So unfortunately will be a straight downgrade to the F-15C in A2A even with CFTs removed. Also SDBs without the Sniperpod is laughable.

Gaijin srill can say like “later modernized to 229”/camos doesnt interact with version/etc
I can’t find anything concrete but I’m finding some information that it has the 229 engines and some information that it was possibly manufactured before them
-229 engines were not retrofitted to early production aircraft, so we can probably leave that out.
The first F-15E to use -229 engine is 90-0233, so anything before that uses -220 engine.

Soooo are you confirming this is a 220 F-15E ingame…?
Not yet, it’s just a possibility.

Just wait for dev
I mwan, im not really bothered either way, im gonna be using it to single handedly win sim games if left alone for any somewhat significant period of time, the 220 engines wont stop that from happening, the 229’s would just help.
Thank you for the info tho!
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.

It’ll be brickier than the f15C with the same air 2 air weaponry, the difference is that it’ll carry a shit ton of bombs and missiles which will make it ideal for ground 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.
