Description
Strike Fighters such as the F-15 are fixed-wing combat aircraft designed for air-to-ground attack missions. While they are well-equipped to counter air threats as well, the real value of strike fighters lie in their deep-strike capability against both soft and armored targets. They will effectively assist your ground units and clear a path to new territory acquisitions, but beware of enemy air superiority fighters or combat engagement from TDS or SAM, as they will put a definitive end to your plans. When on patrol, if they cross paths with an enemy ground target, they will automatically engage. Radar cross-section (RCS) reduction measures in design prevent these machines from being detected by weak radar units.
Important to Note: Strike Fighters are weak against other aircraft, and especially vulnerable to Air Superiority Fighters, but pack a serious punch against ground targets. Strong air-to-ground bombing. Can carry 1 cruise missile Role: Primary bombing unit with low air damage.
