not planned for our usaf f-15c Basic Air to Ground Functionality

[ruddy122]

Looking forward to full fidelity F-15C.

Any chance to drop JDAM like F-15 Baaz?

Thanks

No sir, it's intended to be only air to air. They have been clear about that.

[ruddy122]

Oh well

A guy can dream

Guess make the F-15E look like a Baaz

IMO good evolutionary step for ED to develop E in future

This post is to create a wish list point to include the basic dumb munitions functionality to the F-15C. Not asking for LGB's or JDAMs just Mk8x series and CBU's that can be used by the 15C/D/J/DJ in CCIP mode.

LGBs would actually be fine, I suspect, but you'd have to drop on a JTAC's laser or have a buddy in another jet, like in the F-5. LGBs are just like dumb bombs, only with guidance.

We definitely need air to ground loadouts for our F-15C. Even if USAF didn't use them, they had the wiring and all the switches, so a properly simulated USAF F-15C would actually have them.

Why? We have enough alternatives for ground pounding. And why did you not demand air to ground capabilities for our FC F-15C...

I did, way back when this forum was better organized and didn't yet succumb to the Invision disease. Sadly, the FC3 has been out of active dev for even longer, so my request went unheeded.

We need air to ground in the Eaglejet because in the real thing, it's there and it works.

So you asked back then and the answer was “no”. Now you're asking again and? The answer that ED has already given is "no" again. So why discuss it any further...
This is similar to the thread on CFTs. ED says "no", but the discussion goes on and on until ED closes the thread, as the answer has already been given.

Your line of reasoning makes no sense. The FC F-15 is a limited product by design. People have been asking for a FF F-15 to get around that limited scope, and you're wrong in the first place assuming that no one asked additions to the FC F-15 anyway.

The answer to the FF F-15 was also no until rather recently, just as a reminder. The threads are marked "Not Planned" not "Never". There is no harm is casual discussion anyway. Why discuss? Because people want to engage in discussion. We're on a forum.

Ok, you're right. Then this is actually a discussion here in the forum, a pointless one, but a discussion.
