I guess it might be F-15E (2015) with AN/APG-82 AESA radar and Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-229 engines. integrated AIM-9X Sidewinder, AIM-120C-7 & AIM-120D AMRAAM GBU-39 SDB and AGM-158 JASSM
And equipped AN/AAQ-33 Sniper XR & LANTIRN AN/AAQ-13 Navigation pod
My idea F-15E weapon presets it’s balance
then just use them
They have not been purchased by any F-15 users yet, only demo’d on 1 airframe
And to the best of my knowledge it was only a fit test, on an F-15C. The dual racks on the wing pylons have also been flown on the F-15EX though.
We can get the JASSM and JSOW on the Eagle
F-15Es and F-15EXs should be able to fly without CFTs, which would alleviate the increased weight for usage in air realistic. Would be pretty cool too see the performance with the PW-229 engines and without CFTs.
Careful… Last time I mentioned this some people threw a huge hissyfit about having to model it both ways, not being armed, only for depot, blah blah blah…
Then the F-15C came with the option for CFTs so where the whiners at now???
I’ve also got some good pictures should the capability need to be bug reported
why not after the F15C？
The F-15E replaced the F-111s in service. And if they don’t change their stance on strategic bombers, there is nothing else that can go in that line other than the Strike Eagles.
The F-15EX would still likely follow the F-15C line.
This is more than good enough for the War Thunder standard. For reference see the Mig 29 carrying R27ERs (which it wasn’t able to), See the Yak 141, See the 2S38 (Was added while still a prototype vehicle which has not entered service), and more.
This is an F15C by the way, so this should go on the F15C, D, E, EX etc if ever added to the game.
We are playing by the standards War Thunder set, so purchase or active duty isn’t the standard. Again see Yak-141.
+1
I know it’s been a while but, +1 I could see it in-game. My guess it would be 430,000 (RP), Price: 1,130,000 (SL) and for Crew 420,000 (SL)
+1, should go under the in game F-15C as it doesn’t lose any of the equipment of the F-15C and could be used as air superiority, it just has the added benifit of ground strike.
if anyone wants me to elaborate on my reasonings just ask :)
How heavy will it be compared to the C without the CFT’s?
i don’t really know but it should be around the same mass as the F-15J improved. it’s a bit like SK buying F-15K (lisenced F-15Es) and using them as a fighter in a pinch, so it’s defo possible to see em in the fighter line
Not so heavy that the performance from the -229 engines can’t make up for it.
Aren’t they more powerful than the 220?
Yes, significantly
So then. An F-15E without CFT’s could theoretically dogfight. Right?
It can. Would be interesting to see it against the F-15A. It’s heavier but the engines are pretty beefy to make for it.
That’s what i am saying. It would be cool to see that + the high aoa vapor
