Hi all, I would like to start little project named F-15T TACTICAL. Basic concept and draft is already done. Since Ace Combat thread is gone, some details concerning TAC are gone too but at least I got sketches.
NOTE: This is NOT realistic plane so dont bother me how this monster would fly, or that its ovepowered.
Brief description:
Anyway, F-15T TACTICAL is experimental multitask plane designed for long range missions where it can provide necessary support and remain in combat area for prolonged amount of time. To be able to do that custom version of F-15E Strike Eagle underwent numerous changes. F-15T has been made able to equip TACTICAL Packs; similar to Panavia Tornado BDSP but giving pilot possibility to use any armament that was managed to be stuffed inside, be it AMRAAM's, GBU, JADAM, BDSP, FAEB etc. While TAC Packs limits F-15T they offer enormous firepower combined with additional pylons F-15T is capable to literary rain death upon the enemy. Of course if missions demands it TACK Packs can be detached changing F-15T into dangerous fighter. Still its just prototype so there are problems, biggest is inability to drop TAC Packs during flight since OS freezes and needs to be rebooted with takes time. Thats pilots are instructed to RTB to detach TAC Packs.
As for technical: TACTICAL is basically remade F-15E but bigger and with additional pylons (and second model minus TAC Packs). There would be 3 versions of F-15T
1) F-15T "Type R" first prototype with lots of bugs (lacks afterburner, slower etc)
2) F-15T "Type L" (same model as "Type R" only different colors) second prototype most of bugs were eliminated
3) F-15T "Type S" codenamed "Gespenst" (practically same model as previous ones but with "tailpipe") much better than two previous prototypes also carrier capable without TACK Pack and equipped with ARCS (Active Radar Camouflage System ie. stealth)
Please help since I have no idea about modeling but fell free to ask questions.
