Oh how long it has been.

I'm back. I posted. It's cool.
Anyways, I will be posting a whole assortment of weapons that this aircraft can mount (and that you can use as well!)
Alright. Here we go.

F/A-15B "Arken-B"

Made for the War Challenge United, Season 4

History
After the first F/A-15A "Arken" was produced, the Adretian Airforce already wanted a new, more capable version of the Arken. So in 1953, Northrop Corporation began designing a new version of the "Arken" Strike Aircraft. Two years later, in 1955, the new design had finally been finished, and the first prototype was produced on July 7th 1955.

A few accidents later, and a couple of wars later, the Y/F-15B "Arken-B" was finished. The aircraft was unveiled to top ranking officials in the Adretian Airforce, who immediately decided to take the aircraft.
In May of 1955, the F/A-15B "Arken-B" entered service with the Adretian Air Force, becoming one of the most versatile aircraft in the world.
