Just clarifying, BOL is not possible on any Eagles except for US ones, due to them being the only ones to receive the Mods for ALE-58 usage. It is not just as simple as if it uses LAU-128 it is BOL compatible, it requires additional wiring to be done.
The only export Eagles that might be BOL compatible are the ones Israel bought secondhand a couple of years ago from the USAF but it would be on tail number basis and none of you would have access to the documentation showing which TCTOs those aircraft had done.
Yes it should have it and is a bug that it doesnt, but a correction from that thread. Its a doppler based system not an IR one. Japan didnt start developing IR / UV based MAWS until 2014~
MAWS works for all approaching objects from the read hemisphere, even things like rockets. (And as its also listed more generally as an approach alert receiver, even hostile fighters.)
That being said, no, it doesnt have sensor fusion in the model we have in game, although there is a variant with an imrpoved RWR that does get sensor fusion for it, which im actually working on writing a suggestion for.
Im referring to the “F-15J J-MSIP Modernization Type 2 (Improved Self-Defense Capability)” as its fully upgrade title would be, or just F-15 Modernized (Revised) as something closer to its actual name
Basically, it was a rewrite of the Type 2 modernization applied to certain lot C-14+ aircraft, containing an IEWS (Integratted electronic warfare system), which has features like jaming, sensor fusion, increased rwr performance.
Visually distinct by a bump behind the engine inlets.
Also with the F-15DJ it also allows for future intergration and implementation of dedicated ECM and Jamming equipment.
such as seen the secondary role of the F-15DJ’s being interdiction escort.
