Ace Combat 8 Database
F-15E Strike Eagle 
A vastly improved version of the double-seater F-15 strike fighter. Various parts have been reinforced for greater robustness, and its armament boasts a huge air-to-ground payload. It maintains the air combat prowess of the craft it was based on, and after many anti-surface battles, it was perfected into a powerful machine adept at both air-to-air and air-to-ground warfare. Improvements include a conformal fuel tank for longer cruising distance, and main wings capable of high speed at low altitudes. Four more hardpoints were added for a total of 19, along with a rear seat emergency control device allowing the crewmember there to operate weapons. Aside from an attempt at comprehensive modernization upgrades to avionics, internal equipment, and more to elevate performance, a derivative adding stealth capabilities has also been proposed. Its nickname is "Strike Eagle."

Flight model
The raw flight data from the game files (campaign version). Speeds are in km/h. The other numbers use the game's own units. The values keep the game's field names, because what most of them do is still unknown. Under Stability and Defense are the fields that match those in-game bars best. Mobility matches the rotation rates. How the game calculates the bars is unknown.
The game's curve points for this aircraft are out of order (a lower speed follows a higher one); they are drawn as stored.
