Why can’t the F-15E have the GBU-53? The Su-34 has the Grom-2 which can explode strongly and fly far, while the GBU-53 is similar but it can find its own target when launched from more than 50km away.

Does it have a MMW seeker? In that case, dont get your hopes it

IIR, SALH, MMW with GPS/INS
Just model it without the MMW since the devs are too stupid to implement multi-spectrum smoke.
But the reason it’s not in-game currently is that is far beyond the “stored kills” capability of any weapon in-game.

is it the same function as the F15E’s ground radar?
No. When people say MMW in regards to weapon guidance, think of it as an ARH missile for ground vehicles.
Edit: but once launched would behave identically to a Spike or Maverick.
It has a two way (Link-16 compatible) datalink, so can be retargeted in flight.
So would be eligible for MiTL guidance if it is ever implemented. also the Same way the SDB-I is carried they can be loaded onto the F-15E / A-10C / F-16C, so there are lots to go around.

I doubt they ever give that capability to anything in-game.
Datalinked GBU-15s when…
I’d much prefer the addition of the “Short Chord” variants (allows missiles to be carried alongside the store on the F-15’s wing station), and AGM-130 (Kh-29T / PGM-2000 equivalent), And I guess the BLU-118 Warhead (FAE has a 40:1 (at least on the S-13DF, before it was removed) TNTe so 250kg * 40 = 10,000kg is quite a large explosive radius) as an option if we’re wishlisting.
