CodenameSection Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Hmm....then why do we even have back seaters still in the USAF for strike eagles? RAZBAM already sort of mentioned it in their response: takes away workload from Pilot/WSO so they can focus more on their respective task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom88 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 This might be of interest to some of you,The Jane's F-15E Strike Eagle Manual,Although it has nothing to do with The RAZBAM model,It does give a great general overview of systems/radar and weapons. https://archive.org/details/Janes_F-15_Guide Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spudknocker Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 There will be a multi-crew ability for the RAZBAM module though, right? I am sure they will, that would be a travesty to have the F-15E without multicrew, I was more thinking about when we don't have a friend to fly with it would be great to have a Jester AI in the F-15E eventually... We will see though, I do know that work has been ongoing in the background of this module since like 2011 when Razbam posted the first in game renders. It seems that DCS World's devs both third party and ED are developing a good relationship with Boeing with the F/A-18C, AV-8B and now the F-15E I hope they can give Razbam access to sounds and documents to make this jet as awesome as the F/A-18 we have now... I am holding out hope that this seemingly good relationship with Boeing could mean a Block I F/A-18E or F in the future!! (I'd personally prefer the F I think it looks better than the E) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Spudknocker DCS World YouTube Channel!!

mkellytx Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Hmm....then why do we even have back seaters still in the USAF for strike eagles? Today, multi-crew A/C are better for working the radios, double checking the JTAC and sharing the load on those long GWOT missions. Originally, pre-GPS, low level, LGB deliveries at night was thought to be a high enough workload to justify a WSO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekSpeare Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Some may remember Microprose's Strike Eagle III. That game had front/back multiplay. It would be cool to see again! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-15_Strike_Eagle_III Since I'm new to developments in this thread, I'm not sure if FBMP is already planned.

Kev2go Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 (edited) A few months. but the question is in what state? Probably Early access mode without any guided muntions TGP or A/G radar modes like ED's F/A18 if its coming so soon. IF its true that in a matter of months they obviously aren't going into the HYpe train mode, with mini updates and videos like ED did in the months prior to EA hornet release.

gear_monkey Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I bought the F-15c module to support DCS but i don't know how anyone can fly that thing with the horribly overwhelming canopy bow.

I just want something that is roughly on par with the F-15C from a multiplayer perspective on early access release. F-15E is far less maneuverable and fast as the F-15C. If razbam is putting the 229 motor into the strike eagle it will be a bit better for high speed and altitude, but the CFTs add a ton of drag in the transonic region and make it lose a lot of speed in high G turns. It will not be as good as F-15C in PvP. Now if you had the unrealistic option of flying them with no CFTs and 229 motors... that would be a beast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spudknocker Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Now if you had the unrealistic option of flying them with no CFTs and 229 motors... that would be a beast The Singaporeans seem to like taking the CFT's off of their F-15SG's for airshows haha! I've also seen photos F-15K's and F-15I's fly without CFTs but that would never be an operational thing... It will be interesting to see if Razbam lets us take the CFT's off or not, my guess would be not because I think it would be a lot of extra work to have the flight model coded for with CFTs fitted and without.

Kev2go Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 The F-15C by itself never had the price of a full fledged module. Surely you can't be talking about the value of FC3?
