Hey everyone, Zerø here. Today, I bring to you a weird Eagle that... Whatever my mind was trying to think of.

Happy birthday to... Me!

Yeah I made this for myself, my own birthday. Kind of sad, isn't it?

Introduction:

The Boeing F-15EXU Rogue Eagle is a specialized variant of the F-15EX Eagle II modified by Aurum Aerial Industries for the Ustio Air Force. The aircraft retains most of it's internal avionics, and was improved with the addition of Canard, an IRST system, and Thrust Vectoring capabilities.

Loadout:

• 1x M61A2 Vulcan
• 6x AIM-120D AMRAAM
• 2x AIM-2000 IRIS-T
• 6x Mk. 82 General Purpose Bomb
• 2x 600gal External Fuel Tank
• 1x AN/AAQ-13 LANTIRN Navigation Pod
• 1x AN/AAQ-33 SNIPER Advanced Targeting Pod
• 54x Flares (2/tap), 60x Chaff (2/tap)

Features:

• Changes over the original variant, the F-15EX. These included canards, thrust vectoring, and IRST system.
• Somewhat semi-realistic handling, I hope I did well. Haven't been able to test it to it's full extent.
• Special Livery for me! Because suffering is definitely fun.
• Variable intake ramp. Looks very epique.

Author's notes:

• This F-15, though look supermaneuverable is actually not. It is too heavy to be supermaneuverable. The addition of both canards and thrust vectoring was to make it more maneuverable, but not to the extent of being supermaneuverable.
• This aircraft originally had a full loadout of 6 AMRAAMs, 2 IRIS-Ts, 6 unguided bombs, and 2 HARMs. However, I had to remove the HARMs because it made my device go to it's limits and it can no longer hold it. If you want to see one with the livery off and max loadout, let me know and I'll update the description!
• I'm sorry I couldn't bring back the paveways, it was simply because the aircraft was exceeding it's performance limit on my device... I couldn't put it there.
• Onto performance notes, from what I tested, this aircraft bleeds alot, and I mean alot of energy. It's also difficult to regain energy, so while dogfighting with it is possible, I don't recommend.
• The aircraft is relatively difficult to land, in my opinion but what's best I can find is go 150-170kts and pull the nose up around 10-12 degrees. Pull the throttle down when you're flaring, this helps shorten the landing. Don't forget your trim, they're very useful.

Once again, happy birthday to me, enjoy this "gift", and...
