New F-15 model in the Fox-3 Devblog. 100% as it has the nub not present on any models in game, can’t remember exactly what it’s for.

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
