F-15E?

[KlarSnow]

All of lakenheath's Strike Eagles have -229's, Seymour and Mountain home have mixed -220/-229, it all depends on which squadron you go to. I can't remember off the top of my head, but some squadrons at Seymour/ Mountain Home are only -220 squadrons (the B-course for example) some are mixed, and some have only -229's. Its about 50/50 for the entire fleet being -229 vs -220

Seymour is 220s only, no mix.

[Steve Davies]

I’m almost 95% sure MOHO has both, Vegas/Eglin has -229s as well as the Heath. Seymour has -220s.

 

Thanks. Has been a long time since I wrote about the Mud Hen. My only comment is that the motors are 220Es, not 220s. That would be pedantic, though!

Yes, you are just describing some of the internal swaptronics being changed out from a reliability standpoint...no extra muscle unfortunately.

what a story:

Irregardless this not being a true story and example where its a good thing such a backseat aicraft was included with controls.

 

RIP if something happens to the pilot a Tomcat.

Not even that funny really....just my opinion.

Neither myself or article said it ever was.

 

Just to clarify my previous statement, you do know that article was 100% fake right?

Someone obviously didn't catch that Fleet Aviation Gazette is basically The Onion with planes.

And you miss the point of the post.

 

 

It's great the f15e wso has ability to pilot the aircraft in whatever circumstance unlike the f14 or other aircraft that dont, and vice versa roles can be reversed with the pilot still being able to fulfill the functions a backseater can.

Yea just like Saddam's wmd's in 2003.

Bingo

[Kev2go]

would be nice if we got 2 F15E versions in 1 package

 

 

Current F15E model,

 

and a F15E produced with UFCD. relatively small deviation containing this new feature, what would other wise be the same aircraft.

Cool how the F-15D has the new MFD that the F-15C has. First video I've seen of it.

Yea I remember seeing that picture months ago, just forgot exactly what it was called.

Thanks for the extra info though.

[rome57]

I don't think we'll see a f-15E anytime soon.

And that's because?

Considering they have several others projects to maintain and develop before the F-15E and the low frequency of updates of this planes, this mean that it is still early in the development phase (all though they finished or are close to finish the 3D models apparently) and others projects will reduce its development speed, this is quite logical to think it will take a while to be released even in early access.

Razbam have different team, and the « blue team » work on the Harrier, and when the Harrier will be finish, the team will go to the F-15E.

Are you sure about that ?

Because it appear they don't have many peoples in their team :

A full module of F-15E is on the way and I dont think we need two models of the SAME aircraft with one just having the fancy UFC. There isn't much difference. Its better to have either the standard or the overhauled UFCD version. Anyone is enough...not both. They already got a lot on their plate.

 

 

 

The USAF have not even upgraded all their F-16 to block 50 plus and above. Some are still below block 50. Not all squadron of the F-15E got update with the UFC.

 

 

 

It'll certainly be early 2021 when we do get F-15E:pilotfly:

Utilizing that form of perspective, HEAtblur only needed to make the F14B, there is no need for them to also make an F14A...... or for Razbam to have plans to make an AV8B harrier 2 + after the AV8B harrier 2 NA.

 

 

 

Seriously if that only the only ( or one of few changes) not a big deal to do both F15 versions since there is less difference between them than F14B and F14A , which are the Engines, an older RWR ( AN/ALR 45), and no lantirn TGP control panel or associated capability. OR between those 2 harriers, which included replacing the nose targeting and installation of a radar, from surplus stocks of AN/APG 65's that became available when they were swapped out from hornets being installed with AN/APG 73's.

Only a total of 75 F14B's that existed ( 38 built, 37 converted from F14A) , not all squadrons operated them during thier service life as there were otherwise 557 F14A's produced.....

 

Either way that example is not exactly equatable as CCIP upgrades standardized features among both block 50/52 and preceding Block 40/42. So there is literally no point in upgrading those to "block 50" standard, as they are virtually comparable in capabilities.

 

Even block 30/32's have some comparable features post modernization that mirror many of the CCIP upgrades. If anything some of the block 30/32 are arguably more advanced, as some have received the Center Panel Display recently ( replacing all those analog instruments in center), and many ANG vipers are slated to also get AESA upgrade in the very near future.
