STL-F-15C (CAS)

The McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle first flew on 27 July 1972 and was designed for a single purpose: to win the air. Twin engines, a large wing and a powerful radar made it the benchmark air superiority fighter, and by 2008 it had scored 104 air-to-air victories without a single loss. During the 1991 Gulf War, USAF F-15Cs claimed 34 aerial victories.The "Golden Eagle" name was given to the F-15Cs of the Air National Guard modernised with the APG-63(V)3 active electronically scanned array radar. The first of them entered service in 2010 and kept the Eagle relevant well beyond its original service life.The F-15C was never meant to strike ground targets; that role fell to its descendant, the F-15E Strike Eagle. This version imagines the Golden Eagle in a close air support role: three TV-guided GBU-8 HOBOS 2,000 lb bombs under the wings and fuselage, four AIM-120D missiles to defend itself, and the M61A1 cannon.Mod by STL785.
