Special Ability

The F-15 Eagle comes with a Special Ability called Special flare reload crafted.png Flare Reload. this means it does not have to travel to a rearm point to refill it's flares. this can be very useful for when enemies are launching abundant amounts of missiles at you, or your in a fight and there is somebody shooting missiles at you from afar, and you need to refill on flares, so as to not get shot out of the sky.

Veteran tips

The F-15 Eagle, while still not maneuverable yet much better than the F-4, carries some very potent armament and is best utilized at a distance from engagements. Players are advised to utilize manual missiles for their extended range until depleted, then switch to heat-seeking missiles while rearming. In dire situations where both missile types are unavailable, the cannon does good enough damage to secure a kill decently quick. Despite being outmatched in long-range combat by radar missile carriers, the F-15 holds its own due to its much improved agility over the F-4, allowing it to be much more versatile. Additionally, its durability further enhances its combat capabilities. while it is better close range than a F-4, it is still highly advised not to bring it into close quarters combat unless absolutely necessary.

Trivia

In real life, the F-15 Eagle is one of the most potent, dominant, and overall best fighters ever created and built in the hundreds. there are many different versions, and there are one or two seater cockpits of those versions. the most recent version, the F-15EX Eagle II, is extremely improved over what variant it is replacing, the F-15C and D variants. back to the combat, the F-15 is one of the only fighters to have hundreds of victories with not a single loss, 104-0 to be specific. this is due to the potent missiles, the decent cannon, and the overall not half-bad flight performance.
