Mitsubishi F-15J

Another QoL thing that could be checked indeed but I doubt they will go that deep into it if someone won’t give them the info directly and even then it’s questionable

I think it’s also the same RWR used on the F-2, so ideally it’s advanced, but it can always be changed later.

We still don’t have a cockpit for the F-15J(M) lol.

What are the chances of an IRST modified from a fuel tank being added, similar to the AN/AAQ-28 or AN/AAQ-14? I think the Japanese F-15 would become a more unique and interesting aircraft if it were equipped with a removable IRST.

Highly unlikely seeing that they aren’t even capable of fixing the AAM-4 so far

Dev server update - version 2.36.0.20

Some things changed.

Engines corrected, not sure about actual flight performance

Camouflage updated to better match the plane they're referencing

New cockpit, I think from the old F-15J, not the new one, but the it does have new radar UI

Pilot model change to orange Japanese one, but I think at this point it should be the modern green one?

Oh wow about time, nice

“New Cockpit”

Shouldn’t the F15J MSIP have a digital SMS?

Hmm… It’s surprising that even with the cockpit added, there seems to be no apparent changes to the MAWS functionality or the specifications of the AAM-4. Instead, unnecessary elements have been added. What is this bump on the nose?

Probable answer to your question

Considering that the cockpit of the F-1 was a complete copy-and-paste from the T-2, I don’t think there will be any further modifications.
Where have the HUD and RWR of the F-1 disappeared to…?

Thank you.
Was there some issue with the initial model implemented on the Dev server? It’s strange that it was replaced.

I was mistaken. It seems it was included from the initial model. My apologies.

Now F-15J is only 300kg lighter than F-15C

Well I just made a bug report so can’t hurt to make an attempt.

I think the images in this article will be very helpful.

the new 220E engines took around 34 seconds to mach 1
normal F-15J took around 32 seconds to mach 1

So yeah they even reduced the power for some reason and it’s not only visual like a typo in the stats,
and by my understanding, they should be literally identical to the one on the F-16AM for example.
The 220E stands for an upgrade from a previous version while 220 means brand new from factory.

I wonder why it is so hard to get it correct

Maybe different intakes.

that to have caused reduced performance by 1000kgf? nah no way
it’s slower than the early F-15 like how can you even defend that

I am not defending anything, i am asking questions too.

That may not be very promising. This is because that IRST fuel tank pod was apparently made for a prototype IRST device under development, and was not intended for actual combat use. Interesting piece of equipment, though…

so we lose 100kgf of thrust and AAM-4s barely get past the range of the AIM 7Es still. and why exactly is that a thing?
