F-15 Eagle: History, Performance & Discussion

Like the MSIP didn’t have bombs. Radar only does not justify it being 14.3

AESA radar has been operational on F-15C aircraft long before GE upgrade package was proposed…

Problems with reading. I guess I give up

Should’ve just given the F15E AESA

kinda or just EX already

Pwease, no.

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…

However, now we can put the copium aside and accept that we will not get more than 12 missiles on the F-15EX.

@warthogboy09 you’re our only hope

They’re still a chance that we get either the GBU-39A/B, GBU-53/B or AGM-187A. And, or AIM-9X / AIM-120C-7+ with a Late F-15E.

I mean GBU 53 is already in the files so it’s definitely coming eventually.

should have been added with spice 250 though

Well, only for F-16C.

Not really. The F-15E could’ve been limited to carrying only 8 of those

They don’t really like to limit the amount of weapons.

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

I forget where I saw this, but I recall the F-15 always had the ability to install outboard wing pylons. Any information on that?

No it did not

The extra wing pylons are only for the f15ex
They could be mounted to it due to a modern fly by wire

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.
