Overview:
The F-15S/MT Eagle+ is a fictional fighter aircraft, produced and operated by General Resource LTD. The Eagle+ has increased manoeuvrability thanks to its reinforced airframe, thrust vectoring, more powerful engines, COFFIN system and canards. These modifications give the 'old' F-15 Eagle the ability to keep up with the next generation of aircraft in 2040. Despite its age the Eagle is still on of the most respected and capable aircraft flying during 2040.

The weight is the same as a fully loaded strike eagle (Max. take off weight). This is presumably because the F-15S/MT Eagle+ was used for long range/long loiter time patrol missions thus the need for a large fuel load. Also this airframe can take the role of an attack aircraft thanks to its excellent load-out capabilities and the ability of the airframe to sustain more damage compared to the F-16 series. Engines were supposedly upgraded to provide the 1382km/h advantage over the standard Strike Eagle to help in interception and long-range penetration duties.

Keith Bryan never used F-15. He only fly F-16xA, F/A-32c and XFA-36a without personal paint scheme.

You forgot to change the last sentance.

Edited grammar and spelling.

[JakeHarlow]

Are there different paint schemes for each plane in AC3?

[JianDaoXiao]

Are there different paint schemes for each plane in AC3?

NO, just for the aces (Dision, Cynthia, Rena) and when another company buy one craft (R-101U, R-201U, etc)

Nice.

Also, notice how this F-15 is actually more like the ACTIVE than the S/MTD? It has regular exhausts (whereas the S/MTD has special thrust vectoring box shaped exhausts), it lacks the as much ability as it's been given in previous AC games and yeah...but the ability thing kinda makes sense 'cause it's like 40 years in the future and the plane powers have been completely rearranged; take the Typhoon being the crappiest plane for example when it's one of the best planes both in reality and in the games otherwise.

[Antare]

ACTIVE has 3d thrust vectoring which is even better, sad they didnt include it in this version of the F-15, maybe due to corporate cost cutting or probably because the F-15 is used in the interceptor role vs that of a dogfighter (F-22), because of the HUGE speed difference between the two (1224 km/h difference).


Re: plane power rearranging. maybe UPEO being the sole user of the Eurofighter didnt have much of a budget to upgrade its Typhoons (or fulcrums) vs that of GRDF which had the backing and tech expertise of a large corp behind it with which to upgrade their stuff.

Very nice job with this one.

The Dision F-15 isn´t blue? like IM@s F-15

[Antare]

The F-15S/MT Eagle+ has thrust vectoring, I only noticed it now when replaying ac3 for the nth time. The exhaust plume moves up and down a small amount when you push up or down, granted the amount of deflection aint as large as the Su-37 but it still is thrust vectoring.

To see it for yourself just place your viewpoint 90 degrees to the left or right and hit full ab then push up or down, the exhaust plumes will move.


Will continue to edit more planes et al as I go through ac3 with a fine tooth comb.

[Traben]

I would have thought that they would have put the TVN more akin to the actual F-15s/MTD.


The nozzles it has are the ones on the ACTIVE. So yes, the MT Eagle + is a derivative of the ACTIVE, not the s/MTD.

[AceofAces]

Also, the S/MTD was in AC4 but wrongly named as the ACTIVE. The exhausts just give it away. Although really it's a fictional F-15 since it only has one seat, whereas the S/MTD and ACTIVE both have two. XD
