F-15J J-MSIP Eagle

The F‑15J J‑MSIP is Japan’s upgraded F‑15J Eagle under the Japan Multi-Stage Improvement Program. In service since 1985, it features two F100‑PW‑220E engines (TWR ~1.21), AN/APG‑63(V)1 radar with look-down/track-while-scan, enhanced ECM and RWR systems (including MAWS), Link‑16, and a flexible loadout including SARH/IR missiles and a 20 mm cannon

Playstyle

Climb swiftly and engage from medium-to-long range with AIM‑7s or AAM‑3. Use superior TWR and tight turning in close-in fights with AIM‑9L and cannon. You can also carry a heavy bomb load (up to 18 × Mk 82) for strike flexibility—but avoid turning fights when carrying bombs
