Eagle Dynamics, together with RAZBAM Simulations is delighted to announce the Early Access release of the much-anticipated F-15E.
The F-15E, also affectionately known as the “Mud Hen”, was developed in the mid-80s as a true swing-role fighter bomber capable of performing all air-to-air and air-to-ground missions at low or high altitude, day or night, and in all weather. The F-15E is the USAF’s premier strike fighter in use today.
The 750-gallon Conformal Fuel Tanks give the F-15E a very large un-refuelled combat radius of 790 miles (1270km). In the air-to-ground, the F-15E can carry just about every weapon in the USAF inventory. Air-to-air, it can be armed with the latest generation AIM-9X Sidewinders and/or the formidable AIM-120C Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles (AMRAAM) and is additionally equipped with a 20mm cannon carrying 500 rounds.
The APG-70 radar boasts a synthetic mapping function that creates detailed target pictures based solely on radar imaging. A self-contained, networked electronic warfare suite provides an enviable level of self-protection.
The Weapons Systems Operator (WSO – back seater) is at the heart of the aircraft’s capabilities, maximising the effectiveness of the F-15E. The DCS: F15-E features multi-crew capability and can be flown in DCS as a single pilot/WSO from either front or backseat. Despite both cockpits offering mirrored systems and capabilities, the WSO’s job guarantees excellent role optimisation with a focus on the management of this potent integrated weapons and avionics suite. This results is enhanced situational awareness, aircraft survivability and platform performance with lower workloads and higher target engagement numbers.
The Low-Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infrared for Night (LANTIRN) gives the F-15E phenomenal accuracy in day/night, low altitude, and all-weather conditions, and enables it to attack ground targets with a variety of precision-guided and unguided weapons.
Bringing this all together and placing battlespace information at the hands of the crew, the F-15E is a weapon revered the world over.
The Early Access release includes:
