Helmet, does it has it?
Can it have it? Yes.
Will gaijin give it? Maybe? I don’t see why they wouldn’t. But they didn’t give it to the F-15A when I’ve seen heeps of evidence for it to have one as well
Yes, I found eight bars.
I think you wrote that the Flood mode of the radar can be used to stealth-guide the AIM-7 ? I found that it served as a backup in case of radar failure.
In the WT, the F-15A is pre-1984 and is supposed to fight against the Su-27 from around 1990, hmmm.
Better in raw power, slightly weaker in manoeuvrability to increase weight.
Should also have a far higher climb rate clean as it’s got F100-PW-229s and not 220s.
Additional 6000 ish pounds of thrust.

With more powerful engines, it would probably smash Su 27 records into the ground.
If F-15C Air-to-Air armament early 2000’s. not equipped Joint Helmet-Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS) until 2010 retrofitting the AN/APG-63(V)3 AESA radar with AIM-9X sidewinder, AIM-120 AMRAAM (AIM-120C-7) and Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-220E engine
But F-15 variants with PW-229 or GE-129 are much heavier too.
220 series engines was part of msip.
The JHMCS and APG-63v3 upgrades are separate. Aircraft exist with JHMCS without the AESA
Reminder that the first F-15C got the AN/APG-63v2 AESA radar in 1999 making it the first production fighter in history to equip an AESA radar, so such a radar is available prior to 2000.

Yes, however the v2 was essentially an operational prototype. It equipped a single squadron before being replaced by the v3. Most units went straight from v1 to v3
Personally, I expect gaijin add F-15C MSIP II with AN/APG-63(V)1 radar but IR & active radar homing Air-to-Air Missile early 2000’s before F-15C with AN/APG-63(V)2 or AN/APG-63(V)3 AESA radar, Joint Helmet-Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS), AIM-9X sidewinder and AIM-120C-7 AMRAAM
The helmet sight was first successfully tested on the F-15 as part of the testing of the highly maneuverable AIM-95 missile in the 1970s - the AIMVAL/ACEVAL.
The helmet sight was originally planned, but eventually made it on the F-15 after about 2007. In USAF, it was the first aircraft to get it.
Still more than enough for it’s addition per gaijin’s requirements if needed.
I agree, but I don’t think it’s likely for this update.
Agile Eye also was testet in early 90s
