Because the F 100 engines were highly problematic, engine power was reduced, a process known as “trimming.” 102% trim is 100% F100 engine power.
The F-15C does not have engine trim because the PW 220 engine version was reliable and it was not necessary to reduce power as with the PW100. The greater reliability of the PW 220 could be attributed to digital engine control, modifications to the engine, and the slightly reduced thrust of the PW 220.
They are declassified
Are there any F-15 singleseater variants using F-15E/I engines?
F-15F was proposed but never built, also there was plans to equip F-15J with F110-IHI engines from F-2, but they were canceled.

There’s proposals of them, not sure if any actually were built or prototyped

I don’t think Gaijin themselves really care that much (unless there is a version somewhere with a public release distribution statement, all the ones I found were not):
@kitsune_qq, do you have it?
Also there was one F-15A engine testbed IIRC
Is this not public release statement?
This is the manual where everyone is getting the graph for 220 engine
When I asked Gunjob he said it’s not permissible to use
?
if youre about F-15E manual - could be googled with “F-15E flight manual” and first link.
I don’t think Gaijin Entertainment, or basically any of us all here are US DoD or their contractors.

The thing is… the 1984 doc with the exact same manual name is unclassified as I showed in a post above, the problem is that all graphs with the 220 engines are from the 89 manual with the restrictions…. So like those graphs shouldn’t be on the forums at all from my understanding
That… still means that we can’t use it. Sure, the thing is a first result on Google Search, but we still can’t (if I’m interpreting this correctly).
That is like saying “The older F-16 manual is free for release, but it didn’t have the AMRAAM specs, so I used the newer version, which has those specs but is not open for public release”.
(I know weapon specs are usually in a separate attachment, but you get the idea).
Edit: might have misread your point, I thought you meant we can use it.

no. didnt include that in report.
but there were reports with same manual used before. i think even gaijin stated that they have changed FM using it, in first/second day of update when F-15E got added.
Ye, Gaijin not following their standards very close.

Yeah I’m saying we can use the pw100 graphs as they’re in the older manual, but the pw220 graphs are in the 1989 manual only and thus should not be used
they dont really care sometimes(or actually most of time). just doing like they believe, sometimes(WELL… quite a lot of time tbh) without ground on documentation
that looks so sick
That’s an early iteration of the LJDAM-ER, which, btw, is still missing on the F-15
