jojyrocks Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 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. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=244003 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev2go Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 (edited) 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. 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. 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. 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.

Harlikwin Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Well, I'd say the F14A vs B from a coding standpoint seems much simpler than going from the AV8BNA to AV8B+, radar modes seem to be much harder to model right. I just want a virtual GIB for the F15E New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog.

33-DFTC Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 That's one way to look at it. If you're flying solo and don't have someone to fly with that's certainly an inconvenience, but for people always flying with a teammate it's pure joy. The fact is, the Strike Eagle won't offer any AI so you could not swap position even if you wanted it. There are only two types of aircraft, fighters and targets. - Major Doyle "Wahoo" Nicholson, USMC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fokjohn Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 wow how? Well, I think in the real F-15E the pilot does have access to just about everything the F-15E can do, certainly the radar and fire control system, possibly even navigation and whatnot. I think the co-pilot isn't even called a RIO because of this. The twin seat configuration is more of a general-load-sharing kind of deal, nobody is really dedicated to specific tasks other than the pilot flying the plane of course.

The mudhen is on of the modules I was looking forward to but interest waned with info that I would need a human back pilot to fly the module. Interesting to know I can fly a single pilot.

Demongornot Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Not surprising with HOTAS and modern avionic. With older aircraft you needed so much additional controls but for modern aircraft the computer do already a lot for you, you don't need tons of buttons because of HOTAS and the way its buttons can be used for multiples modes, so there is way less workload to operate sensors.

Fokjohn Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I'm fairly optimistic, here: https://www.military.com/equipment/f-15e-strike-eagle It states; "During the air-to-surface weapon delivery, the pilot is capable of detecting, targeting and engaging air-to-air targets while the WSO designates the ground target." Sounds like shared workload not exclusive workload to me. At the very least this alone confirms Air-to-Air freedom for the pilot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev2go Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 so yeah seems F15E is basically like the F/A18D or F/A18F in that regard. the Front seater ( pilot) can basically do everything, should hypothetically the WSO not be present at all, operate the aircraft as if it were single seater. So Its just a matter of sharing/dividing tasks among 2 people to reduce workload.
