F-15 Eagle: History, Performance & Discussion

Is this manual availible online?

because ive only managed to find a very incomplete version of the 1989 update

and a 1986 update that doesnt have charts for -220 engines despite mentioning them earlier in the manual

thats the very incomplete version ive mentioned I think ive seen it on a couple of sites but the 1989 one is missing ~90% or more of its pages

I guess you can roughly recreate thrust curves from the sustained turn charts but that is the only information on -220 engine it has (only a single sea level sustained turn chart)

I don’t have any other manuals besides from these. I guess we’ll have to wait for 2030 to get the rest :)

thanks

i heard the PW-229 from F15E is backwards compatible with the Pw200 of F15C without modification to the intakes or anything is this true it would make the F15C GE a amazing top tier

idk if its true

because IIRC the CFTs would only fit airframes with the engines they were made for

well thats what i heard it would make the GE competitive i dont think they did it in service but its possible cause the Pw220 and 229 swap doesnt require a structure change ffrom what i heard maybe the CFT wouldnt fit but to be fair no one uses CFT

Nope. F-15E has modified engine bay and probably intakes.

Theoretically saudi F-15C can have new engine bays as they were produced on 15E lines after USAF 15C production suspension, but this is rumors

I think HMD for both F14 and F15A should be added

and recently found this source https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/tr/pdf/ADA074603.pdf which directly references symbology for VTAS mounted in an F14

and seems to imply its use in F15s despite being from a few years before F15C production started

yeah good luck gaijin would sooner go bankrupt then give any sort of competitive edge to any of the tech tree tomcats

I found this not sure if it’s been seen already tho but you never know(talks about the testing hmd/dash)

I would just like to point out these idiots couldn’t even be bothered to properly label the tail number for the jet on the NLG Aft Door.

They have it as 1019, which means it would have to be a fictional 81-0019. It should be 2019 which be the correct gear door for 82-0019. If they can’t even get something as simple as that right, when it’s blatantly obvious how it should be and is the case for basically every US eagle ever, I don’t know why we should expect them to get other things correct.

well uhhh, guess thats not happening Community Bug Reporting System

idk if gaijin is wrong here but am leaning somewhat towards that

You just got mig-29ed lol.
They do agree it’s slightly underperforming but that it’s close enough to manual according to them, so they don’t care

a 2 degrees per second difference is not small
