Description
One of the most potent fighters in the USAF's inventory, the F-15 is a large and highly capable air-superiority fighter. Originally developed to provide the USAF a critical edge over all existing and near-future Soviet aircraft types, the F-15 has a high power radar and unparallelled flight performance to achieve this design goal.\nThe "C" model improves on the "A" model with chaff and flare countermeasure dispensers, and a greater internal fuel capacity, with some squadrons also utilizing conformal fuel tanks for even greater endurance.
