Alright I’m probably going to get hated on for this but so be it. Since the soon to be addition of the F-15E, the air to ground capability of the F-15C should be removed. Although hypothetically yes, the F-15C could carry bombs, having read multiple articles from defense orginizations and the USAF Fighter Wing summary of the F-15C, I have found just about zero evidence that it ever carried bombs besides rarely in training, as well as to test the feasibility of it even carrying bombs (Which only happened once). Since there is the F-15A, as well as the F-15E, can the inaccuracy finally be fixed? If not, can at least the guided bombs be removed? On the official poll to implement the F-15C, it says “Because the F-15C is an air superiority fighter, its air-to-ground capability is limited to carrying and releasing some unguided bombs. In fact, even that is extremely rare in the U.S. Air Force.” The F-15C MSIP II is completely uncapable of carrying guided munitions and it doesn’t make a lick of sense, excluding adding it so people wouldn’t complain, as to why it has it. My father flew F-15C’s in the 2000s, and asking when I asked him if the F-15C could carry bombs he laughed at me and said “Hypothetically, yes but I have never seen it happen except in test squadrons.” I understand that alot of people would be unhappy with a purely air to air loadout fighter, but it would go a long way towards War Thunder saying it is a realistic game. Thank you for listening to my idea.
It’s exactly the same for the Mirage 2000-5F, Gaijin assumes that if the plane can potentially take the weaponry then he adds it. The only way to remove the air-to-ground weaponry from these planes would be to prove that they physically cannot carry it, which is usually very complicated.
If that’s their logic then they should add Air to Air missiles to the B57 because it had a radar in real life so that must mean that it can carry air to air missiles. It just drives me crazy cuz it feels like kind of a cash grab a little bit
It’s not because it has a radar that it could fire air-to-air missiles, the plane was never able to fire it, the F-15 howerver is still capable of firing bombs IRL. On the other hand, I completely agree with you, the game and the planes lose their meaning if we add weapons that they would not use in any scenario.
