Well I used to live at Seymore Johnson AFB in North Carolina where these were first stationed, and I saw them everyday. Being an "Air Force Brat" for twenty years sort of makes you an expert on these things.
Go here, it's a reliable source. The pic's for the Strike Eagle are at the bottom of the page: http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/aircraft/f-15-pics.htm
Now, how many of these pic's do you see that have AMRAAM's and/or Sidewinders ( In addition to any other ordinance ) on them? Just about all of them right? They DO typically carry at least four AMRAAMs and/or at least two Sidewinders, on every mission. The notion is to at least help to fight it's way in, and after the air-to-ground is expended, fight it's way back out. But it does carry AAMs on every sortie, trust me on this. On this page, near the bottom is a great, simple little graph which shows the standard loadouts for the F-15E: http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/f-15.htm

Yep, you got the exterior just about perfect. The only things you might want to include, are the LANTIRN pods under the port and starboard inlets. The paint scheme seems about right as well.  

[Deadsoldier]

Yeah i already seen th is page..took a lot of pictures from there and info..its just we want to get the best weopon combination for OFP... so yea we will inlcude A-A with bombs.
We just made the AGM-130. ..the graph shows it can carry only one..my question is..how many AGM-130's can it carry ?

cheers

[Ferret Fangs]

In theory it could hang one from each MER... I don't know why it would carry less, unless range was a major factor, and a tank was needed on the other. During sorties in Desert Storm it carried two per plane.
One reason it might only carry one, is that one might simply be enough to get the job done. The AGM-130 is an AWESOME weapon and may be the most dangerous weapon in the Strike Eagle's toolbox. Do you remember the incident during the Kosovo conflict when one was used to attack a railbridge at night, and "accidently" hit a passenger/freight train? Well it was no accident BTW... let's just leave that little fact alone, 'kay?
Anyway the ( One ) Striker blew the HOLY SHIZNIT out of that train... and destroyed the railbridge too. I mean part of the train's center section ( Which became the missile's target when the train came into view. ) was practically vaporized, and much of the remaining wreckage was unable to be recovered for investigation.

OK...another update..

Here is the AGM-130:

We did some tests..and that is ONE POWERFULL BOMB!
me and NAA US Marine had blast playing with it..
Oh , and IT IS a Laser Guided Bomb (LGB) and it works. U can fire it from any angle , and it will change its course for a direct hit. It has amazing accuracy if u line up well .

I was able to hit a target from 2000 meters.

More textures applied to plane:

I thinking about something that you might try to get a really cool datalink effect for the AGM-130. You know how you can see from the missile's POV when a SCUD is launched? What if you could do the same with the Striker? That would definately be the bomb... literally.

Huzzar!!!!

He's making the "British" version - before you shout at me - look at the tailcode, it is LN which is the code for RAF Lakenheath, here in the UK, and yes they are still American, but they live here in Britain  

[nolips71]

LN is 1 of the things you see on an f15 after they missed the target on the bombing range

[PunkerSXDX]

Loox Good Man! I cant wait!!!!

[Deadsoldier]

hehe, yes their the LN..

The 48th Fighter Wing, 492th Fighter Squadron "Madhatters"
based RAF Lakenheath, England.

I wanted a fighter squadron, so i chose this one.
We will have more paint schemes..- different tail codes.

Cheers

Very nice......i pray the textures arn't final because they could make this thing the best addon for a long long time to come!

Vyper

[Deadsoldier]

Vyper...what do u mean about the textures..

cheers

[Navy Captain]

please make a US version of the F15 E and C models.
also, just change the textures from UK to USA

[Ferret Fangs]

There are no RAF versions of the F-15E, no one else in the world, but the USAF has them. And these are USAF textures. RAF Lakenheath is a joint American/RAF AB. The United States regards RAF Lakenheath, England as Lakenheath AFB, USA. Thats why the Eagle here has LN on it's tail. The squadron it belongs to is an American Air Force squadron, flown by American pilots. The Strike Eagles I most remember had SJ- for Seymore Johnson AFB, North Carolina- on their tails instead. It's just a simple little identifier code that helps pilots and such quickly tell which base a plane is from.
Not trying to be nasty but some pepole seemed confused. Is everyone clear on this, now...?
