The imrpoved baz is simply unplayable, this plane is complete rubbish
EVERY F15C produced until 1986 came with the damn AN/APG 63 PSP radar, Afterwards, it was equipped with AN/APG 70 ( Same radar as the F15E), in the case of Israel, it started using the AN/APG 70I.
Eventually, in the 90s-2000s, the F15C had its avionics modernized and started using the AN/APG-63(V)1. (Later on, you will use the medelso v2 and v3 of the 63).
My question is; Why the USA and Japan received modern versions of the F15C and Israel did not.
Why can’t the Israeli f15C have a radar with TWS at least, I’m not even asking for a HMD, I just want to be able to use TWS and have at least 1 datalink.
It doesn’t make any sense for a 13.7 plane not to have dantalink and TWS.
There are several possibilities to make this plane less bad.
1° option…Change his radar to AN/APG 63(v)1 or AN/APG 70, even if it is not historically accurate, for balancing reasons, you could even change the radar and replace the aim120 with derby for the f15c israeli to remain inferior.
2° Keep one f15C as it is but with the name “early” and add a second f15C with the designation “later” and add an improved radar(63v1) to him.
3° Keep the f15C without a decent radar but lower its BR to 13.3.
Something has to be done, This vehicle cannot remain the way it is. it’s unplayable

As if a F-15C with Fox-3s would be worthy of being the same BR as the F-4F ICE…
The simple answer is decompression.
The more complicated answer is finding a F-15C for Israel that explicitly has the AN/APG-70 or 63(V)1. As far as I know those should exist (or at least equivalents should exist), but the best that can be done is finding documentation stating such.
The documentation exists, it just can’t be posted on the forum.
In the same way that there are no accessible sources that prove that the Japanese F15C received AN/APG 63(v)1.
There are sources that claim that eventually the F15C started using the same radar as the F15I, there were even some F15Ds that were converted to F15Is.
No, ask for the other 13.7 F-15’s to go up.
This will not change the main problem of the vehicle, which is the lack of radar.
Without a radar with dl you are limited to using the araam as if they were fox1, until they go into pitbull mode.
Even planes like jf17, f4ice and mig29smt which are 13.3 have TWS, DL and HMD and carry fox 3 in their payloads, even planes 13.0 with AVB8+ and j8f have all these tools.
You can’t keep the Israeli f15 C like this in 13.7, either it receives at least TWS and DL1 or it reduces the Br to 13.3 because in the current conditions it is horrible and almost impossible to use.

That’s only true for the F-15I.
Japan has upgraded their F-15J to the AN/APG-63(V)1.
当社は 2004 年からレイセオンと製造委託契約を締結しており、航空自衛隊が運用する F-15 戦闘機搭載用レーダー・セット AN/APG-63（V）1 のライセンス生産、修理を防衛省から請け負っています。

I would really like to see the source about the baz 2000 that shows that it has not received any radar updates… if possible of course
I’ve uploaded it several times already. You just haven’t looked for it.
I assume you can see the difference there between an F-15 and an F-4 phantom. Or the brick MiG-29.
Ask for decompression then. Compressing the F-15 downwards is not a good solution.
THANK YOU GAIJIN !!!
I’ll finally be able to have some serotonin with this plane
REALLY THANK YOU VERY MUCH GAIJIN !!!
