US F-15 A/Cs do not use anti-surface ammunition, Israeli ones did.
It is little known that the F-15 was capable of using anti-surface weapons from the beginning, including laser and optically guided.
That’s not correct. F-15Cs can carry a TGP centerline for self designation
With new PAD MFD and electronics or vanilla version?
Funny that stores 1 and 9 are displayed. Did they ever exist? Thought it wasn’t possible due to stability issues.
Oh no, absolutely not. Gaijin says these maneuvers are impossible without ripping a wing. This must be Arma footage…

F-15EX has new fuselage.
At least give us no wing rip

I know that haha.
I also know the existing air frames are drastically more capable than the Snail claims. A two foot section of wing causes the whole plane to crash in this game. In real life the aircraft has been documented losing an entire side and flying fine.
I’m just joking because they’ve gimped the ever living daylights out of the plane. 400 KP/H and I’m tearing wings during 4-5G maneuvers completely randomly. It’s like it has nothing to do with the capability of the aircraft and they RNGd structural failures.

I am fairly certain the majority of 12.3+ aircraft are so strong they are capable of breaking their pilot due to excessive G load before the aircraft breaks. (Aircraft breaking as in catastrophic mid-air structural failure such as a classic gaijin wing rip/tree forcefield)
The F-15 is prone to lateral instability which would lead to danger degradation of flight characteristics. This is one of the reasons why hinge points 1 and 9 are not used. The other reason is the wing tip area is highly stressed and the use of a hinge point would lead to worsening.

I’m not sure if we are on the same page or not. Are you saying that in real life they are better or that the issue doesn’t exist in the game? Just trying to make sure.
I’m saying the human would break/pass out from over G before the plane would fall apart on many of these modern aircraft.
It’s just that gaijin takes limits of “beyond this G load aircraft must be inspected” as “beyond this G limit the aircraft begins to disassemble itself in flight”.

Oh yes, I completely agree in that case.

Gaijin multiply the maximum g limit in the manual by 1.5 in order to get the breaking g in game.

Does the f15 have a diamond to show what the missile is locking? My f4ej kai has it, but its strange the f15 doesnt. Community Bug Reporting System
Complain about the R73 may have never considered the superior tactical advantage and IRCCM capabilities it offers. It’s not by chance that users of the 9M often fly high even without a good Fox1. Pressuring opponents into disadvantaged positions is something the 9M never accomplish. I have never rated the 9M highly in RB; SIM is a different story

I find the 9M to be quite useful and the R-73 not so much for RB.

That is an F-15A/B. I honestly couldn’t tell you if the controllers to use optical weapons carried over to the F-15C. I know for the A’s systems it was more obtrusive to disable the system than leave it functional and not use it. The best bet for a more definitive answer would be to look at the Israeli F-15Cs. Did they require any modifications to use their stocks of GBU-15s or AGM-130s?
Edit: However, the F-15 Armaments handbook is ambiguous and instead refers to simply the “F-15” without any further designation and was published is 1979, after the C-models existence
