It too carries conformal fuel tanks that would & do reduces manueverablility in air-to-air role.

When considering the F-15 v Su-30, the E model (and its variants) cannot be considered in the mix.

I see, I asked neighbor of mine that is F-15I (version made for the IDF) pilot he says that before the new technology will kick in two seats fighters are the only way to control the fighter as controlling it alone isn't possible anymore (he was F-15C pilot before), for now as he told me only the F-22 can give solution but it isn't for international sell.
For other countries than the US the hope is for F-35 as been said here before.

P.S
I will quote him "I'll be happy to dogfight with any SU anytime" poilots....
