I feel like thats what gaijin was originally planning since the F-15E first came with the weaker engines
It would have given them a reason to make us grind a early/late
with the late including the improved engines and AESA among other things
But now if they give us another F-15E to grind with the only difference being the radar it feels incredibly underwhelming although the golden eagle is too…
I was really looking forward to the AESA F-15 being implemented, but this is such a disappointment :(
They should’ve implemented the F-16C PoBiT instead lol
These pylons have been around since the F-15’s inception, but due to the fact that the aircraft was incredibly unstable with them, they were not used until the FbW
They was initially planned to mount ECM stations and test pre-serie F-15 had them, but tests showed that they cause many problems. Advanced eagles have new wings, FbW, pylon itself was redesigned so they can now use it.
