70's plane fighting modern jets, where is so called realism?

I cant wait till gaijin makes a weather map just to have storms etc(joke)…
so your takeoffs are different

OP was asking “wheres the realism” from historical matchmaking, this whole thing is stupid.

It would benefit many of my favourite tanks a lot, but being OP because your country did good thing first doesnt makes things boring after a short while and flat out insufferable for anyone else.

you mean the newly developed stuff which had more flaws than the later versions…
yea try the realism(will never work)…

I would kill for both expanded weather settings and weather having a physical impact

doubt this will work without cutting many pc´s off of playing this game/ data stuff… otherwise it can be very inaccurate( see the cloud system)

True, but even just fixing clouds and making it so that you get condensation on the cockpit when you fly through a cloud would be aweosme. Like what happens in Project Wingman

My main issue with weather is that clouds are clientside and not server seeded. you may think youre hiding in clouds but you may not be for anyone else

condensation would be kinda nice…

Yep, this needs sorting, like 10 years ago

cause avionics honestly mean nothing really it doesnt have the airframe to keep up its only use is a support fighter still a 70s airframe theres almost nothing it can do against EFs JAS39s and RAFALES SU30SM2 aswell F15C GE aesa doesnt really change much and C5s while better also dont change the situation your just a heavier 13.7 F15C with new radar missiles and a few more of them same weak Pw220s and no strength to get altitude

No logic found

i mean AESA really doesnt change the radar its more about gimbal limits missile amount and TWR

No logic found.

It is still dishonest to state that the F-15A is from 1979 so the F-15C GE is from 1979 in the same block of text where he states the Gripen E is from 2025 and not 1996 when the Gripen A entered service.

That is just massive cherry picking.

yeah that is true but they are the oldest airframes as there not brand new per say just modded and there showing there age

aesa radar on F15CGE just scans faster thats about it

Perhaps, but there really isnt anything else to add though. The US has no newer Gen 4/4.5 aircraft.

Even the F-15EX wouldnt really change that much and by OPs logic, that is still a 1979 aircraft.

and going by stat shark for nov 2025

the F-15C GE did better than the German/Italian Typhoon, Su-30SM, F-15I & F-16I

It even did a healthy chunk more than the F-15E

Only beaten by Rafale and Mirage 2K (OP MICAs) and the British Typhoon (which rarely faces against france thankfully.)

We’ll have to see what the December 2025 and January 2026 data shows with the F-15C GE buffs hold up against the upgraded new airframes from other nations.

Though I think a few US mains just miss the days of having overwhelming advantages against everyone like the F-16C with Aim-9Ms did for a few months

itll feel a lot better in my opinion since its not a upgrade package its a deeper remodel called the EAGLE II hole brand new plane it gets boosted TWR and all new radar which is on par with F35

It will probably out BVR EF2000 since new radar will probably have some insane tracking
