Is there a reason then F15E dont get the BLU27 ?
Did it ever actually carry them?
I haven’t seen it mentioned on the F-15E suggestion posts.
Napalm sort of went the way of the Dodo in the 90’s, when everyone came to their senses and realized how horrific it was.

That can be the case yes.
Should just give it the thermobaric bunker busters instead through the BLU118/B or BLU 121. Even the Cluster bombs CBU 87 and 97 would work as fill in. Not like the F15E is hindered by carrying ordinance. I’m not even sure if the earlier F15’s should have napalm either as BLU 27 was removed from use on August 22nd, 1983. You can see the document yourself under its name Mil-B-38624 which was the letter the Air Force sent for the cancellation of the weapon.

Thermobaric bombs will serve no purpose but to look cool in game, hopefully they copy the sound effect from the Reaper’s thermobaric blast from Generation Zero, because that is one of the best bits of sound design i have experienced in gaming
