Just add F15E Golden Eagle at this point 🥀
my honest guess will probably see it with the introduction of the sg if it is truly delayed.
I would not be suprised if they give isreal a much better F15 than the US
they already tried to with the e and i when they were added and I wouldnt put it past them to try again

to be fair I think that was more a basic failure on the Devs part to balance the two they thought somehow 6 IR guided weapons would be equivalent to the engine upgrade. however they may not include the US since we probs might see the EX somewhere in the next 3ish updates
nope, they said the US one would get the -220 engines and not -229s because then it would be better than F15C in air to air
but the f15i never had -220s because is much newer so they had to have -229s
so no balance wasnt even a consideration, they just didnt want the US to get a better plane

HUH, I made the conclusion from the assumption of just incompetence, that’s so much worse of a reason they never cease to amaze me with their logic.
They just wanted even worse version.
Cus release F-15E still quite noticably worse than 15I - less CM. Aswell as weapons

15.4 deg/s vs 16.5 is only 1.1deg/s which is still unacceptable but unfortunately within their “margins for error”
Unless it’s the Rafale that is

Thats… funny

Looks like the F-15EX (EX16) has had its first flight recently:

It would be nice, when the EX comes out, the US can get the latest version rather than the oldest one and seeing other nations get better ones.
When was that ?
given that they proved that you dont even need evidence that a pylon type exists for it to be added, AMBER should also be back on the table too
but of course thats buffing.a US top tier plane and gaijin cant do that

The pylon itself does exist and we know it’s compatible with AMRAAMs, what we don’t know is if the plane can carry the weight of two AMRAAMs on that station.
I do agree tho, odd choice to increase the missle count with the double pylons when there’s more evidence for the inner wing station AMRAAMs
We know actually.
I mean… You literally can carry 2 2kLB bombs on CFT.
