It’s not a proposal, I’m not sure where that is coming from

The 2040C is a completely different plane. Golden Eagle F-15Cs are in service, there were 179 of them… First ‘Golden Eagle’ F-15C for USAF Air National Guard | Aviation International News
Gaijin is modelling a F-15C from around 2018 or so it seems, with the radar first flown in 2010 and cockpit upgrades from 2018. (Along with Sniper, though they made up the A2G lol)
Boeing Proposes New Life, Lethality for F-15C Fighter | Aviation International News Also would just like to point out that the Golden Eagle name for our Eagle predates the 2040C by about 5 years…

If they add the AIM-9X to the F-15C, then they should also add the next gen Fox 2 missiles to the other nations as well. This isn’t just about only one nation benefiting from a next gen missile
Would be pretty awesome, though I doubt it comes rn ngl. They gave to code it as another “radar” which has both radar and IRST and swap it with the current one
It’s a real, active upgrade path that the Air Force’s F-15C MSIP’s went through.
Well, but we have kopyo?
Is there a source that says the F15C in the SLEP life extension program is a golden eagle
I think the Golden Eagle we currently have is the early stage of SLEP
True true. Im mainly just trying to figure out what the new 15C could actually bring besides a slightly better radar lol.

What good news! Now we can focus on praying for the arrival of the pod and the truly powerful and useful radar

Well, the APG-63V3 is a rather strange radar, because in essence it is the internals of the V1, but with a new antenna.
But, at least NCTR, should be better.

Can it be actively scanned up, down, left and right?
Yes, why not?
I see the bug reporting managers are at it again (fighting between not a bug and accepted labels)

Not uncommon really, ECRS Mk.0 is CAPTOR-M with a new antenna but the same back end.

Yeah, the developers confirmed that they will be adding the legion pod, just not this update. They’ll have to code it as another “radar” that has both the legion pod and the radar, that gets equipped whenever you use it. Unfortunately, that’s just how they’re coded in this game, it’s a little weird. Takes extra work, which they don’t like. Hence why I said that.

Also I just made this report Community Bug Reporting System for the F-15C Golden Eagle potentially getting EPAWSS
