So is JASSM.
Well, you’ve seen how well the Kh-38T does, and is modeled; its not an issue in game.
The -154 is better since it can be loaded three to a station on a TER-9, or 2x to a BRU-55 / -57, though I don’t think the F-15 can take advantage of this, yet.
Also the -154B has a higher Pk than a unitary warhead with the 24 “Skeets” (6x BLU-108)its got. Cluster bombs & dispensers really can’t come soon enough.
I could see an argument being made if the DSU-33 (HOBS) fuse was implemented due to the increased damage radius, but until that happens.
Sure but the extended range isn’t much of an advantage at the moment due to lacking targeting sensors, in comparison to magazine depth. Which will very much persist with the F-35 / F-22 having an anemic ordnance load while restricted to internal stations, complex loading restrictions, and few dedicated A2A stations.
Sure, but we lack the actual advantage of the IBFS warhead (much reduced effectiveness vs Maverick HEAT,or SAP-HE), and “SALH Anoint, IIR Terminal” mixed guidance mode
No, I mean aren’t able to track a moving target target, but are still guided so can attack co-ordinates for example a JDAM -sans the DSU-42/B or “Quick-Sink” Seeker.
How come they haven’t put BRU-61 on the outer F-35 points?
This only covers approved stores for Block -2B and 3F airframes. Much of the stores changes are slated to occur with Block 4 Airframes. So until that is deployed We just don’t know exactly we know there is intent to really expand things but with the way “TR3” Airframes are being rolled out Block 4 remains a pipedream at this point so its going to be a while.
And with said lack of concrete information and the latter half of '26 being the target for the addition of 5th gens to WT there likely won’t be enough info to model Block 4 capabilities.

Didn’t it get pushed back 5 years? I hope they can push Lockheed to actually get it done somewhat on time because otherwise F-22’s MLU is the only hope for US air
BTW for anyone interested… Community Bug Reporting System Finally got around to making that F-15C bug report. It’s underperforming by a LOT especially at lower speeds

what do you mean? 3 degrees per second is close enough

I’ve been meaning to make it for ages but A: have been too busy and B: I’m terrible at flying in a perfect sustained turn. Luckily Squishface agreed to do the testing and I was able to write out the report from there

Little side note, it’s crazy that i was literally watching your video about the eagle buffs 20 minutes ago XD

Haha, remember how I alluded to cooking something up for the F-15C in the background? This was it. Hope you enjoyed tho :)

I did. Looking forward to playing the F-15C late, someday
Did the F-15A manual also have numbers for the C?
Also, is the high speed performance on the C also underperforming, since you touched on that in your video as well.

yes, T.O. 1F-15A-1 includes F-15A/B/C/D, since they’re fundamentally the same airframe. Initially they were even closer as the first F-15Cs had both the original AN/APG-63 and the old -100 engines. the 1989 manual I included in the report has charts for the 220 engines, the earlier ones had F-15Cs with the 100s still so I couldn’t use it. As for the high speed performance I haven’t tested it yet.

The problem is that the documentation says “against moving ships” or something like that. But I don’t mind if it’s just IR glide bomb
The F-15E is certified for three or five JSOWs. The F-15SA has only one. F-15EX with new CFT can carry 11 JDAM-ER.
JAGM-F only ARH+Laser
Any info on how the F-15A and F-15E perform to real life?
F-15a is also underperforming at low speeds at high altitude, I forgor about f-15e
W. I always found it weird that even the F-14A could beat the F-15 consistently in the type of fights the eagles perform well at (high speed vertical merge, using pure power and lift to drain the opponent, etc…)
How much will this change the high speed pull and speed retention though? With these changes the F-15s will inevitably pull harder, with more AoA, but also more bleed, which might be good or bad depending of how you look at it. Asking because I really like how the 15C MSIP II can keep it’s Mach 1-1.1 speed while max pulling on the deck. You can outrun almost anything and it really helps dictate fights.
the pilots in the F-15s that did indeed fight the F-14s noted that it was not a head to head engagement like they were briefed on for the training exercises, but when that was the case the F-15s usually won due to being able to read the F-14s due to the auto wing sweep
