@tehatemachine With all that said though, the F-15E is definitely m all-time favourite aircraft and I'm sure it's perfectly capable at air-to-air combat just as the F-15C is. It's just not gotten a chance to prove it, and hopefully it never will do either. The F-15SE looks like an interesting proposal. If you want to learn some basic stuff about the F-15C (how it's operated etc) you should get LOMAC, or IRIS F-15E on FS2004.

@tehatemachine Also, the F-15E achieved only one air to air kill up to now: a MiL Mi-24 Hind, on the 14th Febuary, 1991. There was one incident where an F-15E fired a missile at a MiG-29, but it failed to hit.

@SuperBomber01 Actually, the PAK FA isn't stealthy in the same manner as the F/A-22A is; it's got low observable front capability, while it becomes much more observable around the sides or back.
-
@tehatemachine That was an F-15D that landed with one wing; a training variant. The F-15C has never had a single loss in combat, but that's a single seat Air Superioirty variant. The F-15SE is an 'improvement' over the tandem seat multi-role F-15E, and two of them were lost by ground fire over in the Gulf war. Google it.

@tehatemachine All you need to do is Google F-15 losses and the best info site is at the near bottom of the first page. If you're referring to the F-15C, then I stand corrected as the C-variant is the one that was never shot down by an opposing force, as opposed to the Strike Eagle variant I was referring to. We're talking about combat losses, not accidents.

@SuperBomber01 Cite your sources. I know you are full of shit. There was a case where another F-15 hit another f-15 by accident with a sidewinder during a training exercise. But even that one landed safely.
-
@tehatemachine Actually, over its entire span of service, two F-15s have been lost in combat - attributed to ground fire back in the Gulf War in 1991.

@RosenKrantz666 Furthermore, there are no 3rd Generation aircraft that are stealth fighters. TRUE stealth fighters would be those such as the PAKFA, F-22 and in the later future, the J-20, Mistubishi ATD-X, F-35 and as I mentioned, the KF-X. Aircraft such as the Eurofighter and the F-18 Super Hornets have LOs but can't be considered real stealth fighters.
-
@RosenKrantz666 By the way, if you think the F-15's design is rather old, current designs like the F-16, F-18, MiG-29 and the Sukhoi Su-27 are also fairly old - not as old as the 15, but the gap is merely just a few years in between. In fact, most of the current 4.5 generation combat aircraft are just modified, modernized and heavily upgraded variants of 4th generation models.

A bit provocative choice of music, sorry TDL, just my first impression. One could also be a little critical of Boeing's full-blown mission in this vid to solely go after and humiliate NK's military in raw, fairly non-artistic animated form. I would have suggested something more creative and original in the animated video choreography, actually with less combat and with more focus on the jet's ability to be respected as a deterrence, not just on war. Give F-15SE twin-IRST eyes in a new CFT.
