Cik -> RE: F-15C vs F-15E in air to air combat. Who is the best? (3/25/2017 1:54:39 PM)

the difference is marginal at best, save perhaps in WVR where the F-15C will have a slight T/W advantage due to the fuel tank additions to the E. most of the changes to the strike eagle are probably just avionics, that and the physical changes necessary to mount A-G stuff (which it wouldn't be carrying in A-A anyway) the greatest difference is probably going to be pilot training, where i would expect the F-15C to have a reasonable advantage due to the training concentrating on air intercept, vs. the mud hen pilot's interdiction role. slight edge to the C, but that doesn't mean the E cannot win, especially in BVR where it's slight weight disadvantage does not matter as much.
