Su-27M are the first Su-35’s build in the 90tys ( Su-37 is also part of them), the current Su-35 that is in service is the Su-35S
ik to most ppl it dosent make a difference, but i have seen a few ppl on here that were very pedantic about it

i hate it when people say Su-35 because that refers to aircrafts of the Su-27M program (the T-10M’s) and not the current Su-35S which has nothing in common with the T-10M’s except the single seat and manufacturer
ik, it’s retarded, still, that doesn’t help at all with the R-77 and R-77-1 drag
2, they still exist as single pylons.
I said that after I had a thought about it.
Sry failed to read quickly enough:(
My fault for being dumb, it’s a nonsense argument from me 2 missiles wont make any difference. I’m just a little salty as a British main right now ha ha

seems a lot of british mains are salty :) (preparing for salt blast)
i would also want 2 extra amraams on the EF as a german main

the truly sad part was in the leaklist where the R-27EA was mentionned as under consideration, implying gaijin does not wanna fix the drag of the R-77 and R-77-1 and would rather add a missile with only a mockup built rather than fix their shit

I was gonna play Britain but decided against it cause I wanna play Ho229. I get it EF sucks a bit Rn, but I think F15E need to go 14.7for these C5s if they have real life range.
We are having a rough time of it with this update ha ha
The missiles will be good/great but the airframe can’t defend like the Eurocanards can and that’s why it shouldn’t be higher.
This should really being the F-15E back into some form of the meta. If the missiles do become lethal and impossible to defend then yeah it will need to go up.
it was always meta, being able to launch missiles earlier with much more energy, plenty of time to get in the notch and lots of chaff to help

I think before Typhoon and Rafale it was the best jet in the game for what felt like a long time.
The Gripen couldnt deal with it’s speed and power
The J-10 is not a BVR machine
Su-27SM was just all out suffering
and the Mirage 2000 was better suited to playing as a rat.
But as predicted when the Eurocanards Typhoon and Rafale came they dominated the F-15E, Typhoon made F-15s play style a liability they had the same missiles and Typhoon was superior kinematically.
Rafale blew everything away and subsequent buffs have only increased the gap from anything else.
F-15E will be good with these missiles but it really depends on how hard they are to defend.
I’m surprised we don’t have an F-15C with the improved engines and an AESA Radar in game now.

the time to target will probably be much shorter, giving even less time to defend than there is with a 120A/B and considering it will be launched from the platform that gives what is already the best missile in the game the most energy it’s gonna be absolutely painful to face against
Certainly wont be taking F-15s lightly going forward it really depends on if getting into the notch and chaffing are an effective defense.
Yet it could be too much of a meta especially for Su27s who don’t have good rwr and all the rest of 13.0s.

it most likely will be but the time window to do so will be so short the 120C’s from an F15E may just go pitbull before any other jets can even fire their AAM’s

It wouldn’t make it better
