Only 18 F-15C from Alaska was equipped with 63V2 as experiment.
So
Still equipped
And also

Yeah, trying to pin point the exact F-15C that got these upgrades and their designation without any unethical methods (not that I have any way of even doing that) Thank you for contribution though
63V2 tbh can be fitted on all us F-15C, theres not a really major difference between that got it and others.
And with 63V3 is the same

The only things that can bring the F-15C at a halt would be the Eurofighter and the Rafale BUT i want the stuff on the eagle to perform at least as shown in the manuals. It is that simple. There is no need to get another plane just for a 9X an 120D and a newer radar. We can have the pre-fox3 F-15A, F-15C MSIP II and Strike eagle

Typhoon uses standard mechanical PD radar until Tranche 3.

Maneuverability vise and dogfight capability. And even with the radar that now the F-15 has I don’t expect gaijin to give the 63(V)2/3 the things that they should have. And by that i mean: modes, patterns and range and maybe power

They even cant into 63V1, about what youre talking?)

Nor should Gaijin give F-15C MSIP an AESA radar when there are more Tranche 3 equivalents USA can get.
As for range and power, F-15C’s current radar has that. However, weapons are going to be the bottleneck, and F-15C and Typhoon are both using AIM-9M and AIM-120s until the next jump.
Which will likely be AIM-9X and IRIS-T on future variants. Whether that’s Tranche 3 or Tranche 2 for Typhoon, and the next iteration of F-15 for USA.

F-15C can get pretty much of things
Like a IRST, MAW(maybe), and mentioned already - 63V2 and V3
As better variants - F-15C still will be best F-15 as AA, changes might be with EX, which basicly is spamraamer. E have near to same capabilities as AA, but worser in turn rate(fatty boy)(actually not big difference, 15E have better engines). E is still very fun as A-G attacker, a lot of SDB, if we will get them ofc, but theres a lot of GBU, but trouble in that - a lot of them is JDAM, that currently not in game. Ah, yes, GBU-15 and AGM-130 might be funny

APG-70 was for the F15E and some F15C were built with it

Some sources states that one of points in MSIP 2 was APG70

When
The new processing power made available with the use of the new APG-70 radar made it practical to make use of Non-Cooperative Target Recognition (NCTR) technology, which provides the ability to distinguish more reliably between friendly and hostile aircraft. Much of the NCTR technology is highly “black” and very few details are available, but it reportedly makes it possible to avoid a lot of “friendly fire” accidents, such as the one that resulted in the loss of the IranAir Airbus in July of 1988.

Either way, Typhoon doesn’t have AESA for Tranche 1 and 2.
