The F-15S/MTD was used by the [[Osean Air Defense Force]] and the [[Belkan Air Force]] during the [[Belkan War]], in limited numbers by the former, mostly flown by their [[Sorcerer Team|elite fighter squadrons]], and flown more frequently by the latter. Belkan aces Darius "The Guillotine" Hertzsch (callsign Würger){{ref|ACZ-M06|[[Diapason]]. ''[[Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War]]''.}}, Sigwald Entenmann (callsign Habicht){{ref|ACZ-M09S|[[Sword of Annihilation]]. ''[[Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War]]''.}}, [[Michael Heimeroth]] (callsign Ofnir){{ref|ACZ-M10S|[[Mayhem]]. ''[[Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War]]''.}}, and [[Osean Air Defense Force|Osea's]] [[Sorcerer Squadron]]{{ref|ACZ-M16M|[[The Demon of the Round Table]]. ''[[Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War]]''.}} were notable users of this aircraft during the war.
In the [[Strangereal]] world, the F-15 S/MTD was developed in the [[Osea|Osean continent]] as a testbed for research on air combat maneuvering, being outfitted with 2D thrust vectoring nozzles and canards that provided it with a level of mobility previously unachieved by previously existing Eagle series members. It was repeatedly tested in simulated battles, where it proved successful enough for its makers to authorize its entry to service as a combat fighter.<ref name="AC0">''[[Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War]]''</ref>

In ''[[Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy]]''{{'}}s rendition of the [[Usean coup d'état]], the [[Usean Rebel Forces|URF's]] [[Beast Squadron]] flew F-15S/MTDs during their second encounter against the [[Scarface Squadron]].{{ref|AHL-M7|[[Toy Box (Legacy)]]. ''[[Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy]]''.}} However, the aircraft did not appear in ''[[Ace Combat 2]]''.
  +
  +
During the [[Continental War]], the F-15S/MTD was operated by both the [[ISAF Air Force]] and the [[Erusean Air Force]]. An Erusean ace known by the callsign "Halley" flew this plane during the ISAF's siege of Farbanti.{{ref|AC04-M17|[[Siege of Farbanti]]. ''[[Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies]]''.}}
  +
  +
The F-15S/MTD continued to be used by the OADF in limited numbers well onto 2010. During the [[Circum-Pacific War]], [[Grabacr Squadron]] (composed of Belkan Air Force pilots) was the only known OADF unit that flew F-15S/MTDs. They operated the advanced fighter jets until [[Razgriz Squadron]] shot them down over the [[Pobeda Peninsula]].{{ref|AC5-M25|[[Heartbreak One (mission)]]. ''[[Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War]]''.}}
  +
  +
The [[Leasath Air Force]] used this aircraft in limited numbers, most notably during the last stages of the [[Aurelian War]]. A Leasathian ace by the callsign '''Comet''' was known to fly this aircraft during the battle of [[Danern Straits]].{{ref|ACX-M13B|[[Armada]]. ''[[Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception]]''.}}
  +
  +
===''Joint Assault'' Universe===
  +
A [[Valahia]] ace '''Kelpie''' utilized a F-15S/MTD during [[Martinez Security]]'s operation in Nevada.{{ref|ACJA-M19|[[Desert Gust]]. ''[[Ace Combat: Joint Assault]]''.}}
   
  +
===''Infinity'' Universe===
The S/MTD was acquired by the [[Osean Air Force]] and the [[Belkan Air Force]] during the [[Cold War]], with the Osean [[Sorcerer Squadron]] being one of the most notable fighter units to have operated the jet. During the [[Belkan War]], Belkan pilots Darius "The Guillotine" Hertzsch and Sigwald Entenmann manned S/MTDs during the [[Allied Forces]]' offensive against Belka, while Sorcerer retained theirs in their defection to [[A World With No Boundaries]].<ref name="AC0"/>
 
  +
F-15S/MTDs were available to [[United Nations Forces]] pilots during [[Operation Eternal Liberation]].

Revision as of 08:07, 10 February 2020

The F-15 S/MTD (Short Take-Off and Landing/Maneuver Technology Demonstrator) is an experimental F-15 Eagle model developed for experiments on the effects of thrust vectoring technology on aircraft maneuverability.

History

Strangereal

The F-15S/MTD was used by the Osean Air Defense Force and the Belkan Air Force during the Belkan War, in limited numbers by the former, mostly flown by their elite fighter squadrons, and flown more frequently by the latter. Belkan aces Darius "The Guillotine" Hertzsch (callsign Würger)[1], Sigwald Entenmann (callsign Habicht)[2], Michael Heimeroth (callsign Ofnir)[3], and Osea's Sorcerer Squadron[4] were notable users of this aircraft during the war.

In Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy's rendition of the Usean coup d'état, the URF's Beast Squadron flew F-15S/MTDs during their second encounter against the Scarface Squadron.[5] However, the aircraft did not appear in Ace Combat 2.

During the Continental War, the F-15S/MTD was operated by both the ISAF Air Force and the Erusean Air Force. An Erusean ace known by the callsign "Halley" flew this plane during the ISAF's siege of Farbanti.[6]

The F-15S/MTD continued to be used by the OADF in limited numbers well onto 2010. During the Circum-Pacific War, Grabacr Squadron (composed of Belkan Air Force pilots) was the only known OADF unit that flew F-15S/MTDs. They operated the advanced fighter jets until Razgriz Squadron shot them down over the Pobeda Peninsula.[7]

The Leasath Air Force used this aircraft in limited numbers, most notably during the last stages of the Aurelian War. A Leasathian ace by the callsign Comet was known to fly this aircraft during the battle of Danern Straits.[8]

Joint Assault Universe

A Valahia ace Kelpie utilized a F-15S/MTD during Martinez Security's operation in Nevada.[9]

Infinity Universe

F-15S/MTDs were available to United Nations Forces pilots during Operation Eternal Liberation.

Game Analysis

Ace Combat Infinity

"An experimental aircraft developed to increase maneuverability and designed for short takeoff and landing abilities. An electronic control system simultaneously operates the horizontal stabilizer, 2DCD thrust-vectoring nozzle, and canard wings, resulting in turning performance that exceeds the capabilities of conventional multirole aircraft. The oversized canard wings provide a large degree of dynamic lift allowing for increased maneuverability and stability during stall recovery, regardless of speed. S/MTD stands for "Short Takeoff and Landing/Maneuver Technology Demonstrator"."

Trivia

  • In Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies, the F-15 S/MTD was erroneously portrayed as an F-15 ACTIVE, despite having the two-dimensional thrust vector nozzles of the STOL/MTD. Although both are based from the same TF-15B prototype, they were considered entirely separate aircraft by its main operators in NASA.
    • The game's hangar description also contains major errors, describing it as possessing ACTIVE (Advanced Control Technology for Integrated VEhicles) technology and "forward-swept wings". However, the latter fact is partly correct, as the F-15 uses lightly swept wings.
  • Notably, Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies also depicts the F-15 S/MTD as a single seater aircraft. All subsequent games have depicted it as a two-seater, like it's real life counterpart.
  • Additionally in Ace Combat Infinity, the default paint scheme features visible United States Air Force roundels on the nose and main wing despite the fact that this aircraft was built for the United Nations Forces. An update later removed the roundels.
  • In the Italian version of Ace Combat Infinity, the F-15 S/MTD Event Skin #02 has the description of the F-22A Event Skin #04.
