Talk:McDonnell Douglas F-15E Strike Eagle#F-15EX split

I've expanded the F-15EX article so that it now captures the F-15 Advanced Eagle family as a whole, which includes the F-15SA and F-15QA that predates the EX. Is it worth keeping all of the information about the Advanced Eagle variants here, or move that over to the F-15EX article? Steve7c8 (talk) 22:32, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

:I've transferred most of the information about the F-15SA and F-15QA over to the F-15EX page, and only make brief mentions of them here. Steve7c8 (talk) 15:31, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

I am asking this question only because I seriously don't know the answer.

Does the US currently have fighters that are non-tactical? If no, what is the point of using this word? TooManyFingers (talk) 05:13, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

: Tactical means attack near the battlefront ([https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/tactical defination]). All the US Air Force's fighter aircraft now are multi-role aircraft and can perform attack missions. -Fnlayson (talk) 13:21, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

the fact sheet seems to be somewhat contradictory:

(In features section)

"For air-to-ground missions, the F-15E can carry most weapons in the Air Force inventory."

(In specifications, armament section)

"Armament: One 20mm multibarrel gun mounted internally with 500 rounds of ammunition. Four AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles and four AIM-120 AMRAAM or eight AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles. Any air-to-surface weapon in the Air Force inventory (nuclear and conventional)[sic]"

: I don't see the last part you mention in the Specifications (F-15E) section now (or earlier this month). I just removed an unsourced entry for a large "Super cruise drop tank" there. -Fnlayson (talk) 01:13, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
