Design[]
The F-15C Eagle is a twin engine jet fighter with swept wings and twin tails. Originally the F-15 is a single seat fighter, with the trainer and strike versions being two seat variants. The radar is mounted in the nose of the F-15 and weapons are attached to the pylons under the wings and to the fuselage. Drop tanks or conformal fuel tanks can be fitted.
Firepower[]
The F-15C Eagle is able to use a variety of air to air missiles, including the AIM-9 Sidewinder, AIM-7 Sparrow and AIM-120 AMRAAM. A six barrel 20mm M61 Vulcan gatling gun is mounted internally on all versions. The strike versions can carry most air to ground ordnance used by the US Air Force, including dumb bombs, guided bombs and guided missiles.
Avionics[]
The F-15C Eagle is fitted with an AN/APG-63 or AN/APG-70 radar that can identify aircraft up to 220 km away. The radar functions at treetop level and high altitude and is able to identify targets at both higher and lower levels. Some export versions add improved radars with AESA ability, IRST and various helmet-mounted sights.
Mobility[]
The F-15C Eagle is an agile fighter due to its low wing load and high power to weight ratio. The F-15 is fitted with two Pratt & Whitney F100 turbofans. The latest export versions use the improved F110 engines. The maximum speed is over Mach 2.5 at high altitude with Mach 1.2 attainable at low altitude. The combat radius is 2,000 km on average.
Role in H.A.W.X.[]
In the near future, Arrow flew one to chase the double-agent Sonnet during the Revelation mission.
Major Alex Hunter flew one during the Desert Fortress operation.
The F-15 has also been reworked into the F-15 ACTIVE.

Design[]
The F-15E Strike Eagle's deep-strike mission is a radical departure from the original intent of the F-15 since it was designed as an air-superiority fighter under the mantra "not a pound for air-to-ground." The basic airframe, however, proved versatile enough to produce a very capable strike fighter. The F-1515E Strike Eagle, while designed for ground attack, retains the air-to-air lethality of the F-15, and can defend itself against enemy aircraft.
Firepower[]
The F-15E Strike Eagle carries most air-to-ground weapons in the USAF inventory. It is also armed with AIM-9 Sidewinders and AIM-120 AMRAAMs, retaining the counter-air capabilities of its Eagle lineage, being fully capable of Offensive-Counter-Air operations. Like the F-15C, it also carries an internally mounted General Electric 20 mm M61 Vulcan cannon with 500 rounds, which is effective against enemy aircraft and "soft" ground targets.
Avionics[]
The Tactical Electronic Warfare System (TEWS) integrates all countermeasures on the craft: radar warning receivers, radar jammer, radar and chaff/flare dispensers are all tied to the TEWS to provide comprehensive defense against detection and tracking. This system includes an externally mounted ALQ-131 ECM pod which is carried on the centerline pylon when required. The MIDS Fighter Data Link Terminal, produced by BAE Systems, improves situational awareness and communications capabilities via the Link 16 datalink.
Mobility[]
The engines used on early aircraft are the same as on previous F-15 variants, the Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-220. Later batches feature the more powerful F100-PW-229 engines.

Design[]
The RF-15 Peak Eagle consolidated several upgrades to the F-15E developed for export customers, including full integration of the General Electric F110-GE-129 and the AN/ALQ-239 Digital Electronic Warfare System (DEWS) that replaced the legacy TEWS, and introduced a revised wing structure for increased service life, an enhanced cockpit originally proposed for the F-15E Strike Eagle and digital fly-by-wire control system that replaced the original hybrid electronic/mechanical system and enables the activation of two additional wing pylons; the fly-by-wire eliminated flutter modes causing stability issues that resulted in the two outboard wing pylons being deactivated in earlier F-15 variants.
Firepower[]
In a typical air superiority or escort configuration, the RF-15 Peak Eagle can carry twelve air-to-air missiles, either the AIM-9 Sidewinder or AIM-120 AMRAAM short-range missiles; the AGM-88 HARM can also be carried. Using proposed expanded racks and CFT weapons stations, it can potentially carry sixteen AIM-120; four AIM-9; and two AGM-88 HARMs. For precision strike, it can carry sixteen GBU-39 Small Diameter Bombs; four AMRAAMs; one 907 kilogram Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM); two HARMs; and two fuel drop tanks.
Avionics[]
The RF-15 Peak Eagle is equipped with advanced avionics for reconnaissance and electronic intelligence. It featured high-resolution cameras for photographic reconnaissance, side-looking radar (SLAR) for tactical intelligence, and electronic warfare systems for intercepting enemy communications and radar. The aircraft also had inertial navigation and doppler radar for precise navigation and data transmission, making it effective for high-speed, low-altitude missions.
Mobility[]
While the RF-15 Peak Eagle's strengthened structure makes it heavier than earlier F-15 variants, the digital fly-by-wire control system and the increased dynamic thrust envelope of the F110-129 engines provide it with substantially improved maneuverability and handling characteristics over legacy F-15s and enables the pilot to maneuver aggressively with no angle-of-attack limits. The fly-by-wire also makes the aircraft much more departure-resistant and tolerant of asymmetric loads.
