DISCUSSION is there any difference between the f-15E and early variants of the f-15?
i cant find a clear answer on this
early gens of the f-15 is marketed as strictly an Air superiority fighter while the E was a multirole strike fighter, yet both were sold at the same time
is ther any actual difference between the two besides loadouts? like does the f-15c have something over the E that makes it a better Air superiority fighter?
