F-15E’s CAS Arsenal

We talked about the F-15’s suspended armament in our previous episodes, but our game now features a strike version of it that enjoys a wider choice of close air support weapons. Today we’d like to talk about the best loadouts for the American F-15E Strike Eagle and the Israeli F-15I Ra’am.

Subtitles are available in the following languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Polish, Turkish, Chinese, Portuguese, Czech.

The actual disadvantage with the AGM-65D is that they struggle to get accurate hits on mbt's to do any catastrophic damage a lot, something the kh-38mt doesnt struggle with. Also the AGM-65G has a significantly smaller warhead than it should, but the missile is magically heavier from the "larger" warhead

Add the NAV FLIR pod. Seeing a strike eagle with one pod looks weird. Make it optional and remove the restriction on targeting pod or countermeasures. No targeting pod on the F15E blocks the countermeasure dispensers

Q: Do u EVEN CONSIDER making Sim. EC also for Tanks on one battlefield with goals, frontline, etc? And dont say "our "statistics"/polls say we (the community) dont want this" ...

I appreciate the new MFD screens for Gripen, they look good but please fix the TWS IFF on them. There are like 15 tickets already. Its a small yet annoying issue. Also, upgraded Tornado for Italy would be great since other nation's got their's now

F-15E's loadouts are broken.
Currently, you cannot take belly AMRAAMs if you have LANTIRN pod. There is no historical or technical basis for this. You also cannot take belly AMRAAMs and ground munitions on the other CFT pylons, which is again without any historical or technical basis.
For some reason, you also can't take any drop tank at the same time as any AIM-7. I have no idea why this is. It's bizarre. I'm not talking about CFTs, I mean the drop tanks an F-15 can fit 3 of, which can be literally dumped off the aircraft with the click of a button.

There are pictures of F-15E, early and late ones, all models, doing all of the above.

Let's go, finally i researched the strike eagle today.

The GPS bombs will become useless as soon as the AA players decide to keep moving slowly from time to time.

[riderstrano]

Let’s get some more late ww2 and early Cold War stuff in

[Barbarian_jon]

I would like to see smaller teams as you get closer to top tier. These massive team groups all lobbing missiles right after they spawn in is stupid and takes any sense of competition out of the picture.

Huge maps, smaller teams. One big cat and mouse game.

[DonatoDimarco]

Can’t really play CAS in this thing due to the pantsir existing and the fact that this thing should be able to carry 6 Agm65G but no that’s too OP but you give the Su34 6 KH 38s

[rafaeldivino]

Warthunder- I love how normal warthunder Spaa tanks can pen light tanks slightly while spaas in warthunder mobile can even pen the side of light tanks

[nicholasnicky]

F15 I RAAM is not equipped with maverick. give F15 I RAAM with AGM 142 popeye, if not spice bomb family. because currently F15 I potential is left behind with its counterpart F15 E, and SU 34 in the stand off weapon area.

[oneks]

Put some focus into the SIM modes. Needs it with all these vehicles!

[The_Gaming_Hamster]

GBU-38s have extended range over 31s, great against Pantsirs

[camkiser]

Good job guys ! I can’t decide if I like the f15e or su34 more for cas, very cool !

[The_gaming_guy-za]

In terms of load outs the f-15e got scammed. It can carry farrrr more AMRAAMs and still carry a lot of bombs, and you also skimped out a lil on the engine power, it’s a good bit more irl than in game

[video]

Ad in the XF-84H I would like to hear about it

[ZwdDreamZ]

Please implement saving loadout settings for each plane individually (bomb fuse delay, convergence, etc)

[christopherchartier]

Stormbreaker SDB-II or JDAM-ER would’ve been nice

[bernhardtbruzzel]

I love how the US gets the best Jet for another update. But the Grom 1 is way to OP.
