F-15 Eagle: History, Performance & Discussion

bug report worthy, would give us radar with range comparable or better than Irbis-E for the APG-63v3

looks like a secondary source tho

so you would need at least another secondary source

there is a report for f15 radar range

but not using this source

hopefully gets fixed before 5th gens are added so it can lock them from a reasonable range

Before the 129D and E, we had the so called SLEP upgrade to the GE129. I suppose that was a pure durability upgrade mainly for the 129B and C where 6000TAC is certificated while no extra thrust was gained.

If so D and E variants may have more focus on software and thrust enhancements though we’re unclear about what’s really changed about them.

New pod

Nvm, not a new pod

lol i took a break until recently, (MCM is bad for enjoying the game,) and for a second i thought they added the legion pod to all the f15’s and then i saw it was just a MITL pod, I need to stop hoping.

Anything but the legion Pod i guess though for the GE, someday they will add it.

yeah, they tried to give the hornets the talon hate pod (of which can also go on F-15s, seen a few up at KPDX, Portland international airport, carry them on flights) but they were extremely buggy and just could work properly, so in other words, its a similar reason why aircraft can’t use more than 1 type of targeting pod

where are F-15SA, F-15QA at the should be add this year before f15ex or it would be somewhat pointless

gaijin doesnt even know what BR the F-15E is

and is trying to move it up by 4 BR steps to a br that it shouldnt be

also wtf are they thinking with the MISP going to 13.7

✨decompression✨

Who is this reply even for? I guess you had your turn to discover what decompression is, this time around.

And no 13.0 and 12.7 are no different in GRB at this present time

they are?

what tf do you even mean

because this is just compression given that neither of them belong at the BRs that they are going to

✨compression✨

fixed it for you

because in what world do they belong at the br where they are going given how much worse they are than other planes at that br

It’s the same with aircraft between 13.7-14.0

17396144895427291871388766857847

How would this be the case if everything else was moved up, the top of ground is 12.7 > 13.3 and the air for GRB is 12.7/13.0 > 14.0. Things moving up not matter what, is literally the opposite of compression, nothing has actually changed.

The F-15E ground BR has always been stupid. It sat at 12.7 for waaaaay too long instead of 13.0 where it belonged.

Would be so if they remained where they are.

Can’t complain of no decompression for months then be angry when it happens lol

?

the top BR is increasing by 3 BR steps

while the F-15E is going up by 4 BR steps, that is in fact a change and a nerf to the F-15E

I disagree, while the F-15E was very good if it was unopposed, it was completely shut down if the other team had any aircraft or AA up due to its very poor defensive capabilities and air to air capabilities, while the CAS aircraft that belonged at 13.0 were very capable in an air to air role even while carrying an air to ground loadout

and most of them can defend against incoming missiles much more effectively and with much less cost to position/energy
