Hi guys! What is the best USAF aircraft for anti ship mission?
I checked on Wikipedia and says that the F-15E Strike Eagle can be equipped withe the AGM 84 missile, but in the editor i am not able to see any USAF aircraft that can bring an anti ship missile... Where am i wrong?

Boeing had the F-15 as a launch/control platform for the SLAM-ER as of 2006, but it is unclear whether that only covers the F-15K, which had been the first F-15 variant to be certified to use it that year.

The last version of the SLAM-ER overview from Boeing, from 2012 also lists the F-15 only generally as a capable platform.

As for the original question, depending on the year, the Harpoon carried by the B-52G/H or the JASSM/JASSM-ER carried by the various bombers and fighters of the USAF ought to serve the anti-ship role.

B-1B is the Air Forces primary long range Anti Ship platform.

B1 is planned to get AGM-158C LRASM that is anti-ship in 2018, you can already find it in the game database.
Then i remember some B-52 armed with harpoon.

JSOW-ER though its not super long ranged but neither is Harpoon. But the AF hasn't bought any since 2005 apparently, nor is it on the Lancer in game. The LRASM should be on B-1B's very soon, like 2017.

The Air Force doesn't really play the Anti Ship missile game. The F-15E could carry Harpoon and SLAM-ER but in general they leave it for The Navy. The can borrow inventories of course in emergencies. The LRASM will be the exception to the rule. HARM can also hit ships.

That being said, plenty of bombs and shorter ranged missiles can be used against ships that don't pose a serious anti air threat.
