F-15SG has IRST system (made by Lockheed) and carries JSOW operationally, while USAF F-15E dont carry JSOW in service and theres no proof USAF ones can, though they probably can, so gaijin wont give it to them. also think it can carry SLAM-ER
has combo of F-15E airframe with APG-63v3 which is not quite as good as 82v1 on upgraded USAF F-15E so itd be a more soon adition probably
All of these are US modifications that would require integration and drop verification tests on US F-15E airframes. It would hardly be the first time that vehicles get experimental capabilities.
what I wouldnt give for Gaijin to just fix the JH-7A and just put it at 13.0 where it belongs instead of leaving us with this… watered down 12.0 jet that’s at 12.3 for some reason
idk about the IRST though thatd take a bit more than just drop tests. it would provide a different mix of US weapons and avionics/sensors in the same US airframe, which is why it should come.
if upgraded USAF F-15 get these weapon ingame then it would be a solid sqv when 5th gen come lol
Sorry smin but in none of the manual or books of the Ra´am says that the capability of using the AGM-65 got removed, you say “we need evidence that the aircraft have the ability to mount and use them” but there is also no evidence that proves that the Ra´am cannot use them haha soo… what we do know?, the first 2 Ra´ams came out from the Boeing factory in 1997 what it makes you think that the capability to use the Mavericks got removed? because there is no evidence of that.
Nothing to say it could use them. Nothing to say it couldn’t use them. Snail don’t want to give benefit of the doubt, so we’ve nothing to change their mind with.
Just got to pray they actually, finally add some Israeli A2G munitions at some point.
F-15 history, combat record, looks, and overall capabilities beat typhoon
better radar, EW on new ones, better IRST due to acess to SNIPER pod, only thing it doesnt equal is in type of a2a missile, aim9x better turn than ASRAAM but worse range, meteor betetr than 120D but with 260 coming very soon F-15 will get advantage due to more missile + better radar, it far exceeds typhoon payload, exceeds looks, it can supercruise on the 229 ones but only clean, not like typhoon, has higher top speed, lacks in dogfighting compared to it though
There’s the thing, though. In America, of course you’re going to see fighters all the time. There’s a tonne of them. In Australia, however, there’s not nearly as many, so it’s much rarer to see them.
