F-15EX Dev Discussion Thread

@WillKMJ

BRU-61 is not cleared for the wing stations of the F-15E

Why? Like what reason?

@WillKMJ

If the F-15E should get BRU-61 on Sta2/8 based on that, then that’s opening one hell of a Pandora’s box for all western aircraft,

Look at F-15C with GBU-53. It’s also test aircrafts. And it was tested without BRU-61 even. MER on F-15EX…

And… well, “pandora box”, as you said, is already here? AGM-88 on EF2K, gripens, except Hungarian and 39A, have mavs, all apaches, and other…

WillKMJ:

Did you actually read the entire discussion before posting

[Abyss_Revenant]

I’ve read this, and more than once. There’s no question of a limitation related to the wiring. The limitation concerns jettison… you need proof? afaik, all jettison operations involving the BRU-61 aren’t completely authorized.

You can ask F-15 WSO about it ig?

Still

You want me to prove something that had an incredibly limited testing run of which the report is restricted? Especially when it’s a pretty clear aerodynamic issue?

@Abyss_Revenant

You need to be able to jettison something from your bird for it to be safe to carry.

@Abyss_Revenant

AGM-88 on EF2K

Is necessary else they’d have no SEAD capability?

@Abyss_Revenant

gripens, except Hungarian and 39A, have mavs

@Abyss_Revenant

all apaches

❓

The F-15E does not need any more SDBs. If it did, it would probably receive them on the wing stations in spite of the jettison issues. But it doesn’t, so it doesn’t.

[F-16D_Barak_II]

Amazing, F-15EX got an IRST pod and the F-15IA lost its MAW

Thank you US mains

[miki3084]

Does the F-15EX have a missile countdown feature like this in real life?

[Nostalgistic]

@F-16D Barak II

F-15IA lost its MAW

F-15EX will not be getting MAWS either. It’s entirely on developer’s decision.

[MrKrabsPattys]

source?

[Abyss_Revenant]

@WillKMJ

JAS 39A.

@WillKMJ

❓

AMASE for all D apaches except NL one, DIRCM for all E variants, stingers on main pylons on Japanese and Chinese Ah-64E.

@WillKMJ

Especially when it’s a pretty clear aerodynamic issue?

Then why F-15EX/SA/QA can have this when aerodynamic they are kinda same?..

@WillKMJ

The F-15E does not need any more SDBs. If it did, it would probably receive them on the wing stations in spite of the jettison issues. But it doesn’t, so it doesn’t.

That is perhaps an argument I can agree with, and it is the primary reason why.

[MrKrabsPattys]

had no maw before. Be thankful that you have an imaginary jet

[TopGunCrew8367]

I think I just had a stroke trying to read that

[WillKMJ]

@Abyss_Revenant

Then why F-15EX/SA/QA can have this when aerodynamic they are kinda same?..

Because the ejection may be completely redesigned, or some other reason. As I said, I do not know. It’s not an ability that the F-15E has.

@F-16D Barak II

Amazing, F-15EX got an IRST pod

? No it didn’t?

[mechanocs]

28x GBU-53 will be absolutely insane in NE. A singular F-15E with 20x GBU-53 + whatever on wing pylons already outstrikes multiple redfor aircraft simultaneously.

[Nostalgistic]

Correct. The report is accepted but not fixed/implemented.

[Abyss_Revenant]

[WillKMJ]

Like the F/A-18’s IRST pod? 🤣🤣🤣

[WillKMJ]

God I fucking hope

[Nostalgistic]

True.

[TopGunCrew8367]

20x GBU-53 + 4x HARM + 4x 120D is also a pretty insane loadout for NE
