F110 Engines on F-15E

[SilentSparrow]

Here you can clearly see F110 engine nacelles on the F-15E. Is this an F-15 Advanced Eagle variant? Is Razbam making that? Or is it some trick of the eyes?

I was wrong/confused about this just a couple of weeks ago as well. The engines you are seeing are always F100. 
The only difference is, that some operators/nations/units fly it with turkey feathers or without.

no turkey feathers vs turkey feathers

The Israelis seem to fly with them more often on their F-15I's

The F110 nozzles look different, we have them in-game on the F-14B
F-15K with F110, and here a close up of the engine. The feathers look a bit roundish seen from the engines profile.

Around minute 1:10 - 1:12, they video does a close pass by on the top aft part of the jet.
You can see the classic look of the unfeathered F100s.

Other parts of the video show the them featherd. Which is good I think, it means we can chose.

• F110-GE-100: Initial variant resulting from the F101 DFE (Derivative Fighter Engine), powers the F-16 Block 30 and 40.
• F110-GE-400: Naval variant of the -100 with a 50” afterburner extension to fit the F-14, powers the F-14A+ (later designated F-14B) and F-14D.
• F110-GE-129: Improved performance engine variant, powers the F-16 Block 50 and the F-15SG, SA, QA, and EX.
• F110-GE-132: Further enhanced thrust variant powering the F-16 Block 60.

 

The other visible difference between F100 and F110 is that F110 has a black carbon fiber looking band near the nozzle.
