Agree with the other replies. -220s

Got answered with "please see FAQ". So JTIDS it is then. I implore ED to look more into this as there is a difference between the two systems (JTIDS and FDL) and FDL was much more commonplace and only a handful of jets got JTIDS. They are simply different hardware but still serve the same purpose although there are differences between the two that I cannot post here due to forum rules.

Very minor correction since it is not really relevant to DCS purposes. EPAWWS was cancelled for the F-15C and only the F-15E is getting it. Is already standard fit for the EX.

Looking forward to it as well Matt! Looking forward to further news in the coming months.

Which AMA?

This might be considered arguing semantics but which Link 16 system will be on the F-15C? There are two that were installed. JTIDS which was put on a limited number of Mountain Home AFB based jets and Fighter Data Link (FDL) which was installed on the rest of the fleet due to being cheaper. They have slightly different panels and some slight differences in capability.

Correct

Looking forward to the first screenshots to be released!

Around the 2016-2017 timeframe. At first, the feed was sent to a tablet in the cockpit but they later integrated it to the Passive Attack Display

You are correct. Too late for the year they are simulating.

That did not come until about 2017ish timeframe.

I am cautiously optimistic about this module. There is enough out there that an educated guess can easily be made. The general idea of how things work isn't classified. It's the numbers associated with specific systems that are.

There were 2 data link systems installed in the F-15. The JTIDS system which the mentioned 390th aircraft got. The rest of the fleet got the lower cost Fighter Data Link. I think you are mistaking the V1 and the V2. The V2 was an initial AESA which only about 18 of the Alaska based F-15s got. The rest were upgraded to the V1. Late production 15Cs got the APG-70 but these were replaced with the 63V1 to free up the parts for use in the Strike Eagle

Only a handful of jets got V2 (around 18 if I recall). V3 is just a bit too new for the year we are getting. Would be amazing though.

Yep. Which is what the USN declared IOC with. The full progression is: 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, 3i, 3F, 4. With subversions among these.
