F-15 Eagle: History, Performance & Discussion

I know, I said before F15C production because that is proof that it is talking about F15A

honestly im more interested in this for AV8B

because there is evidence for VTAS on F15A, and its not like the current implementation of JHMCS would be much better (its actually missing at least one feature of in game VTAS being an indicator to when the radar is slaved to HMD)

Look at this too

Was some early F-15SA used by USA as test aircraft?

I might be wrong, but i think that this is the F-15SA that you are talking about, flying with bright orange colors (flight test afaik)

Ur photo with MRMLs on F-15EX is F-15SA.

I’ve seen no evidence besides the MAWs being present on it (which might be because it may be one of the first F-15EX prototypes to get out, but with MAWs still mounted). All i see is 16 missiles and an air force roundel on it, on an American website, with a not desert-ish looking background.
Even if you are right, i think that this is enough for gaijin to give it 16 missiles

That picture predates the F-15EX program, it’s one of the other advanced eagles, not the EX. I agree that it’s probably enough for Gaijin, but they’re all over the place so who knows…


Same airplane, different pic from AT LEAST 6 years ago on reddit. Another F-15SA with US roundels, just a different paint scheme

The US has done this for decades.

Not to mention the sheer number of F-5s (both Freedom Fighters and Tiger IIs), Starfighters, Sabres, etc that were in service with multiple USAF training squadrons, despite belonging to the very country the US was training (at least on that specific type). Genuinely fascinating stuff :)

Truly disappointing 7 months after making a bug report that F-15E can’t take both SNIPER TGP and chaff dispenser in the same side, gaijin still hasn’t replied to it.
Community Bug Reporting System posting it here so more people are aware (I’m pretty sure all the F-15E enjoyers are but still)

It’s even worse than that.

Flares are allowed on the TGP side, just restricted in position, even for the original LANTIRN pod.

And they have at least 2 editions of the FM(1991 &1993) which state this and they have used for other reports.

Lil Starscream screen with the GE, not quite an F-22, but I guess the Eagle comes really close in terms of coolness.

Starscream did used to be a F-15 in the old animated series.
