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
and it can keep its speed unlike F15C GE
so what about 1960 airframe at 1990-2000 br ??
ah yes
the 1970s F-15C with AESA radar and C-5 AMRAAMs
if you dont butter your F-35B landing the pilot goes to LEO
the mid 90’s J-8B being the same BR as the F-4E
You forget the J8A on sweden at 1.0
Love the reuse of names lol
