F-15 Eagle: History, Performance & Discussion

Nothing the F-15E can’t already have.

Should have LGBs for its wing stations though.

And they showcased APKWS, which is… a choice I guess.

It should not get any except chugun.

That is not correct. Even the OG F-15 armaments handbook includes A2G stores. It should have everything the current F-15C has plus LGBs now that it has a TGP.

And it had APKWS in the trailer… which is a decision they made I guess…

Early F-15s yes, but I saw some report on DTIC which claimed that procedures for using advanced A2G were removed from new firmware on F-15C to save ROM space.

That’s not supported by anything I’ve seen.


A2A APKWS?!?

Doesn’t look like that.

I’m not arguing the existence of APKWS on F-15Es, just the existence of any rockets on the F-15A-D. The armaments handbook does not have any rockets, and even the dual rocket/bomb practice dispenser notes it is only for bomb use.

I don’t know that they have bothered with integration for APKWS because the jets will all be collecting dust in a couple years anyway.

Now is it probably technically feasible if they really wanted to add it to the game? Yeah, but I don’t know that it has been.

I’m not going to complain about it, but it is questionable IMHO

im very doubtfull they would add the a2a pylons without the a2a variant of the rocket

They not air to air pylons…?

that seems to be true, i still hold hope as itd be an effective counter to the new helos

The thing is they are very obviously different in shape and tone to the Impact Fused variants

ive never really noticed the new apkws variants had a different shaped head let alone tone.

IRL its not painted gold, but the rest is there

funny thing is, when the airbase in Japan shut down (was the Airbase that housed the squadron that used the ZZ tail markings) they sent their F-15Cs out to other airbases, when PDX got one they had a new pilot fly it, the lower intelligence specimen took off with his air break deployed, and every time i see the ZZ tail mark i’m always reminded of that

No additional missiles. Zdrada
