Thats exactly what I did. I spaded it before the F15s even came out.
Only ever used it in GRB since, until the new Thai line came out with the better F16

I would be really happy to have the current F-15A Block 15 OCU split into the twoish jets it really should be. There is a Thai AMRAAM slinger (MLU?) and I think it’s also capable of air to ground, but it is indeed not this exact jet. This exact jet is a whole different thing.

Ngl sparrows are kinda underrated, just people don’t use them right. They’re honestly insanely good from rear aspect. From rear aspect it’s impossible to out pull, trying to notch them requires pulling so hard they basically line themselves up for you to get a deflection shot if they even manage to pull that hard, and multi-pathing is less effective in rear aspect due to how missiles lead targets. They also have like 3-4km of range from rear aspect, which is something people don’t really expect from an F-16 at that BR.
For a sparrow HDN seeker… chaff and pulling could be enough tho, and mp is still insane. Lucky to kill, still vulnerable to miss, this is why I say it’s not reliable - got to ultimately use guns for backup
