No this is a pre-msip version. Which eventually also received AAM-3s. In fact to this day there are still some F-15Js that never received MSIP upgrades but have been retrofitted to use other equipment such as AAM-5s.
But i can assure you the F-15J we have is pre-msip and AAM-3 is historically correct.

Pre-MSIP had AAM-3. Post-MSIP has 220E engines, AAM-4, AAM-5, HMS, and a new radar.

I hope whatever camos they add, they also cover the pylons and fuel tanks.

Do we know much about the J/APR-4 compared to the AN/ALR-56? Especially in terms of what bands it could detect in WT?

That’s what I figured and had trouble myself. Wonder what it will end up like in live. Probably copy paste from the AN/ALR-56 for now.

Welp, looks like the live server is upon us now
Let’s hope the devs are open to tweaking the AAM-3 after the fact, lest it ends up like the Magics and it takes forever to fix…
No additional camos yet. :(
Whereis the HMD for F15J?
its a pre MSIP version hence no TWS and no HMD
Pre-MSIP still had the PSP radar, which had TWS added in 1985.

Speaking of which, @_David_Bowie what’s the status of the PSP radar for F-15J? Last I remember you mentioned there was a bug report internally but seeing as TWS isn’t present on live, I presume it’s still open/being worked on?

Not knowing the status of “internal reports” can be difficult
How are we supposed to know if we need to provide additional information

Make a public thread discussing the issue or a report with all known sources. If there is something new, they’ll add it to the internal report.
Alternatively, message the tech moderators to inquire about the report and if they have a certain source.
