The F-15I Ra’am already has highly advanced guided munitions in-game, such as SPICE 250, SPICE 1000, and SPICE 2000. However, the American F-15E Strike Eagle—which also uses these SPICE bombs in real life—still does not have them implemented in the game.
Additionally, aside from the SPICE munitions, the F-15I Ra’am has a loadout that is largely similar to the American F-15E, which makes the Israeli variant effectively more advantageous than the American one.
Furthermore, the newly added AGM-84H missiles have only been added to F/A-18 Hornet models, even though the American F-15E is also capable of using them. Likewise, munitions such as the GBU-53/B StormBreaker have still not been added to the American F-15E.
Is there any information/plan on when the American F-15E will receive its proper and complete equipment, or are the developers planning to add these capabilities alongside the F-15EX Eagle II?
The F-15I is an Israeli modification of the F-15E, of course it has compatibility with and uses mostly American weapons. It’s only that they make their own weapons for (mostly) their own use.
USAF jets don’t use Navy weapons usually, however through other countries’ F-15E jets they can use it.
(I’m also aware of USAF F-15E’s being able to carry it)
Get ready for the F-15E Late/AESA or F-15EX. Either way, a new jet.
You really shouldn’t have made a new thread for this. This could’ve easily been a reply in the update rumour thread.
I would assume at this point that the F-15Es loadout will remain mostly as is, especially if they wish to keep it at it’s current GRB rating. I would expect that new weapons like GBU-53 would be added via the F15EX to “create a feeling of progression”. Other items, like AGM-84, I have no idea
If Su30MKM can get KH38, then America can get the F15E to use Spice bombs as technical capabilities exist. I don’t understand how Gaijin has these double standards where Russian planes can benefit from mockups and technical capabilities while America gets denied fuselage amber racks and spice bombs. If Gaijin’s going to copy paste slop at least stick with it and not be selective.
First of all thank you so much for answering! “However, the American F-15E Strike Eagle—which also uses these SPICE bombs in real life” By this sentence i tried to mean they are capable of using them (if im not wrong about capability), and i wouldnt complain if they add them to F15E too -sorry for my bad English-. Also I really want to see F15EX Eagle II in this game i hope they will add.
