Yellonet Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 Are there no single seat variants of the Eagle that can carry bombs or other air-to-surface weapons? i7-2600k@4GHz, 8GB, R9 280X 3GB, SSD, HOTAS WH, Pro Flight Combat Pedals, TIR5
Force_Feedback Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 Are there no single seat variants of the Eagle that can carry bombs or other air-to-surface weapons? The F-15J can do it (well, the c and a as well, but you know the story). Creedence Clearwater Revival:worthy:
Yellonet Posted November 23, 2005 Author Posted November 23, 2005 The F-15J can do it (well, the c and a as well, but you know the story).No, I don't know the story... I think. One of the reasons why I don't fly the 15 is because it feels so wimpy without the ability to carry bombs... certainly not a mans plane :cool: That the russian aircraft are much more pilot-friendly is another reason... i7-2600k@4GHz, 8GB, R9 280X 3GB, SSD, HOTAS WH, Pro Flight Combat Pedals, TIR5

GGTharos Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 Any fighter that carries AG munitions is a Target. Anything fighter that doesn't is a fighter ;) Not a Pound for Air To Ground!

The F15A and F15C are A2G capable - they can drop dumb bombs. I believe the software is still installed on the USAF birds, but they don't train for that role any more, and would never be expected to play it. The Saudis carried A2G weapons on their F15s after air superiority had been won in the first Gulf War. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v121/britgliderpilot/BS2Britgliderpilot-1.jpg
Cobra360 Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 Israeli F-15A/B/C/Ds can use JDAMs, Spice and Popeye missiles aswell.
Pilotasso Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 I think it would make a very interesting addition to have the bombs on the F-15. The Su-27 also carried dumb minitions as well, so I dont think why we are prevented from using them at least in the Israeli eagles. .
