F-15E’s CAS Arsenal

We talked about the F-15’s suspended armament in our previous episodes, but our game now features a strike version of it that enjoys a wider choice of close air support weapons. Today we’d like to talk about the best loadouts for the American F-15E Strike Eagle and the Israeli F-15I Ra’am.

Don't forget, you can now use video subtitles!

Very interesting! Although, in terms of American CAS, I think nothing beats AV-8B+’s 4x AGM-65G loadout.

As far as I know, AGM-65G’s damage output is larger and more consistent (and F-15E can only carry 2 of those if I’m not mistaken) than AGM-65D’s, and vertically landing on the helipads to rearm is cool too!

And how do we balance that in Ground RB when none of the SPAA can defend against this kind of CAS?

They can. Mavericks and GBU-39s are slow as hell and easy to shoot down with a SAM.

Always the whining, Pantsir can shoot jets directly at the air spawn, some helicopters have powerful AA missiles and there are also fighter jets. Just adapt a bit instead of whining.

Gripen:

  • 12.0; 2 GBU-12-16-18 and 2 old ass AGM-65A’s (Combo requires a SP value to 330 on top of the standard amount)

F-15E:

  • 13.0; 10 GBU’s and 6 AGM-65D’s (Still 330 SP)

@Stona_WT Lets talk about F-15I Ra’am (strike aircraft lol). Right now american version can equip 8x air-to-air missiles AND 6x agm-65s. Israeli version only have bombs which is an enormous disadvantage comparing to american counterpart. But the funny thing is if it equips its only FnF munitions which is gbu15v2 with targeting pod, it cant get air-to-air missiles AT ALL.

Right now F-15I Ra’am is at the level of 10.3 BR attack jets in case of ordinance. Can we expect some changes here? Right now Israeli TT doesnt have top tier attacker at all. Im not considering laser bombs to be effective at all against pantsirs.

Can we finally get at least something good for GRB in… hmm… 4 years?

F15I Ra’am “For now” should carry gbu15v2 with aim120 or aim9 untill SPICE bomb coming
Bro if F15I can’t carry AAM while carry gbu15v2 f15I is useless broo pls. fix it OR change br f15I in GRB to 11.3

Here is a fun fact. Not everyone plays Russia or the US, not everyone has a heli in their line up, and even then you first have to traverse around the battlefield to even have a chance of being in range with the A2A missiles. As for “JuSt SpAwN cAp BrO” yeah, lemme spawn CAP after being bombed into oblivion which results into me not having enough spawn points sure thing. Or whats also famous “JuSt HiDe”

The map in question:

Just spawn Fighter Jet, its cheaper and stronger v a super heavy CAS equipped F-15E. I often spawn Fighter Jets and hunt Helis and other Jets and I play every Nation check my Stats.

Only Thing I have, FOX-3 Missiles should be cheaper SP wise

Too bad the maps are tiny…

Once again, ain’t no way you are spawning an all CAP loadout when you get bombed constantly. Sure I could go in the RCV and reduce the spawn cost, but do I want to spawn in a 9.7 vehicle at 12.7 just so I have the chance for enough spawn points to spawn CAP? Some times there is no CAS at all and the game is chill with tanks only, sometimes the team just gets send to hell by SU-34/KA-52 or F-16/F-15 but then spawning in a light tank is to late as you will be deleted after spawning in.

Buddy, I was talking about helis not planes, show me the A2A missile fired from a heli that has 20km range. I will wait

When Gaijin unlocks all of the air tree for free, maybe

As far as I know, AGM-65G has overpressure damage, which leads to more consistent kills.
