Yeah, I need to change that. It wasn’t a PESA radar, that’s to me is now more disappointing
War Thunder will likely be doing it within a year.
F-15 won’t be the first tho.
F-16 and F-2 will likely be the first.
@Saprano_2132
F-15JM is from 2019.

Why? F-15C had AESA before either the F-16 or F-2

The F-15C we have never mounted it, and an F-15 with AESA would be superior to that of F-2 and F-16.

The F-15C we have 100% mounted it

No it didn’t. F-15 doesn’t use block numbers, and there are multiple variants of the MSIP II aircraft.
It’s already been proven the F-15C we have uses a standard mechanical PD radar.
The game is not ready for Su-57, Typhoon Tranche 3, and the Rafale variant with AESA.

No shit. You arent going to teach me anything about Eagle’s i dont already know.
Yes, in one configuration it uses a mechanical array. It would also be just as correct to have it with either the v2 or even v3 AESA array.

In the future, the F-15C we have right now (~2006) would also be capable of taking AIM-120C-7s and AIM-9Xs. If it does get those armaments, I would recommend giving it an AESA radar to keep it competitive with these vehicles.
We’ve already seen how bad an F-15 is when it’s undertiered (F-15A being 12.3), and I think eventually giving the F-15C the (V)2 or 3 would help keep it competitive with the Rafale, Eurofighter, F-2A, etc.
There’s no reason for this, nothing would limit Gaijin from giving the F-16C, F-2A, and F-15C their AESA radars all in the same patch. The same goes for vehicles like later versions of the Eurofighter and the Rafale.

Again, there’s no reason to add Typhoon Tranche 3, Su-57, and AESA Rafale [I don’t have its specific model number]; All F-15 AESA equivalents.

Well you going to have to disprove 3 sources that say other wise. (Source 1, Source 2, Source 3)
But F-2 is the first jet in the world to have an AESA radar, not only that but also 18 F-15C were fitted with AESA radar the AN/APG-63(V)2

Not just C-7s, but D series as well

What I’m saying is when those vehicles get added (not now, but in the future) we should upgrade the F-15C. Nobody here is advocating for those vehicles to be added now or anytime soon (aside from the occasional fanatic).
Right now the AN/APG-63(V)2 and (V)3 are not needed in the slightest. In the future they may be required, and at least they are available as options.

I think only russia is going to be left out of any AESA radars (until 5th gen come) Or they gonna find a small country who fitted an AESA radar to their russian tech and put it in the russain tree or something stupid like that (If that is the case give the US the Su-27 because Mexico recently bought one)

Well, the only reason they aren’t giving the F-16C block 50 an AESA radar is only becuase it’s not a block 60-70 they most likely gonna that excuse but the F-15C MSIP II there’s absolutely no excuse
The Block 50 can get an AESA radar afaik. The US does not operate Block 60/70s but they do upgrade the Block 50 to Block 70 standards.

Sweet, I love my nation. I love the F-22 more than all the other jets, I’m just hoping it’s coming at least like in 2027 or 2028 in warthunder

Those 18 specific F-15Cs are not in War Thunder at this time.
Those sources prove me correct.
“AESA refit”
Russia has AESA on Su-57, their AESA Rafale equivalent aircraft, they’ll be fine.
Russia doesn’t have a stealth aircraft beyond prototype stage currently though, so… by the time Gaijin gets to stealth they’ll be able to ascertain the estimated RCS of Russia’s stealth options.
@Blanchboi
There will be an F-15 with AESA added after MSIP II, need not worry.
USA will get Block 60 and 70 F-16s.
