McDonnell Douglas F-15E Strike Eagle — History, Technology and Weapons

Looks like gaijin with their attemps to “fix” F-15E ruined all of supersonic millitary thrust perfomance
currently, it missing like 0.1 mach on 50K feet, 35K feet, 0.03 mach on 15K feet. And it performs as it should on 5-10K feet
Wouldnt be suprised, if same would be for AB thrust modes

made bug report for F-15E among other aircraft to get LJDAM

Just researched planes to be able to test drive F15E and to my suprise did not expect 14.0 plane to have an old type of radar. All 14.0 's in game have the AESA radars but somehow someone decided lets give F15E a range of around 60km with it’s radar. What is the point of 14.0 plane with radar that can track targets at the same distance as the F20’s radar … Many planes in game have weaponry of whitch they did not have at the beggining yet most of NATO planes have their basic capabilities. Come on Gaijin ;/

Typhoon doesn’t. The F-15E and the Eurofighter share this in common, as they have insane engine and climb performance compared to their contemporaries.

… what? You using your radar right man? You know how to use TWS, HDN, and PD modes right? You also know how to extend the range of your radar display right? You can track someone at the corner of a map if they’re flying towards you.

the F-117 has GBU-27s

I unlocked the F-15E recently and found weird behaviour in the HUD

Instead of displaying the number of your missiles and then the designation (e.g.: 2 9M),
it diplays the Number of the Missile name, then how many of those missiles you have and then the designation letter (92M for 2 Aim-9m and A2B for 2 Aim-120B)

so i wanted to ask if this is intentional or if it is already bug reported

LMAO APKWS on Strike Eagle is officially more real than KH-38MTs

Pic without going to IG(but it’s worth it trust me)

I’ve seen some kind of new IR APKWS
The F-16 can take APKWS and so can the the F-15 now

Counter helicopter in-game maybe?

tbh wish there was IR guided zuni for stuff like harrier…

there is laser guided which would work well for the harrier but ive not seen anything about IR

yeah for hydra not zuni

Oh I see what you were referring to now

Well, I wonder how long it’s going to take to get these?

Probably would take so long they will already have drone kills with them by the time they show up in-game

But Russians get T-72B3A and Brits get light vehicle that hasn’t even been delivered yet

Made a report regarding F-15E top speed… which undeperforms
aswell considering that it is OPERATIONAL limit, not that it could theoreticly go…

seems funny.
