I mean the Israeli f15e one can for sure, so the American f-15e can prolly as well

They are specially built Israeli launchers (different to the ones used for GBU-39s), and no US F-15 has ever carried SPICE to my knowledge, not even for evaluation purposes, so the short answer is no.

Yeah but if a weapon is compatible with an air frame then it can potentially get it (gaijin is super inconsistent with this tho)
For example su-30sm never had kh-38 but it gets it because it’s compatible for integration with su-30mk

I’d like SPICE to be unique to Israel given how long we were denied FnF weaponry beforehand, a brimstone style nerfed stormbreaker can come in for the F-15E, wouldn’t have a problem with that

The real deal is how much, we can see gbu 250 one shot tanks like paper. If they come in big number like gbu 39, it would 100% break the game

Don’t Indian su-30s use it? I would guess Britain would also get spice bombs eventually when they get their Indian stuff

Yeah on both tejas and su30mki, as big as 2000, but also india got their mini version on the jaguar and tejas, idk the name

Spice is pretty fun, but fairly balanced

Ngl I would rather them add a better f-15ex with these insane weapons instead of adding them to the f-15e, would make for good progression. Either that or add it to an f-15e with an aesa

EX should be the penultimate aircraft for CAS and A-A until stealth, so I’d like to see it get a bunch of cool modern weaponry

What does russia and china have as counter, ir kab250?

Ya. Although ik it’s seekerhead exits/ at least been shown for export, I’m unsure if it’s actually been fielded/inservice.

Since F-15I was eventually given AGM-65 it never used making it an objectively better F-15E, I don’t see why the F-15E shouldn’t get Spice bombs, since US equipment is constantly given out to other countries while the opposite nearly never happens.
