F-15C/E Period accurate radars sources show Year 2000 Like the Rafale and others. Can we See it in this update?

As we can see in Img.1 here according to this source it was the first aircraft fitted with AESA radars

On Img.2 we can see that the F-15E should have the v3 even which was a modified version of the v2 increasing the diameter of the antena (For a wider FOV?)

We can also see [Source 3] also agrees that this was the same time period 1999/2000 which is again in agreement with previous mentioned images

So taking all of this information into consideration we can conclude that for the sake of balancing the game, we could in fact see the F-15C/E (or even just the E, again, for the sake of balance and not having to up the F-15C BR) with the same capabilities of the other aircrafts with AESA radars.

[Source 5] also agrees with the timeline

Hope this reaches the devs well in hopes of a level playing field faster than before, avoiding players to stop playing even if for a short period of time, avoiding major backlash from the US main community, and improving everyone’s fun, since we seem to be moving into a BVR meta with the PL-8s/R-73/Python-4s/Aim-9X.

2025: The Year WT rises to the top of Aircraft Simulation Games!

as far as I’ve heard the f-15e fleet was pretty low priority on radar upgrades which has left them with basically every possible radar + engine combo being in service rn which is why our specific one was reengined fairly recently but doesnt have a very new radar

Strike Eagle uses AN/APG-82(V)1

There aren’t many combinations for the F-15Es. They have only ever used the APG-70 or APG-82. And in general, the RMP priority is for -229 engined aircraft as they are going to be the ones to remain in service if Strike Eagles ever begin retirement.
