American F-15E Strike Eagle Engines

They also dont take up half the player base, the impact will not be as meta game breaking as it would if USA also got a mach 2.4 AMRAAM slinger

Very dumb take which isn’t surprising, so you think it’s fair to nerf a plane that badly just because there’s more players for a certain nation? Do you hear yourself?

I also assume you haven’t heard gaijin’s reasoning to not give the F-15E the 229s?

Indulge me

Their reasoning to not give the F-15E the 229s is as stated “We did not want the F-15E to outshine the F-15C as an air to air platform, we want the F-15E to serve mainly as a strike aircraft” If this was the case then in what world does it make sense to give the F-15I the 229s, there is clearly an F-15C in that tech tree, but it seems to only be an issue when it comes to the american tree?

And before you even say something like “well the F-15I only ever used 229s” in that case they could have just not added the F-15E or I into the game yet

Its not nerfing a a plane, Its the correct engine for the squadron skin in game. The SU27 and R77 are nerfed into the ground, They should perform at high alt the same if not better than 120A/C… I still use it and make it work, yeah it sucks, Its a game tho. They are giving unique jets to different trees. Its not a big deal, secondly…The FM prob isnt even done. Cant wait to hear you guys cry when you get the 229 and it absolutely tanks the TWR.

IDK maybe its because you all pitch a fit every time they drop new jets. Maybe they are punishing you.

Okay it seems like you don’t know much of what you’re talking about even when you have 6 trees grinded, first off, I responded to that same comment about the skin the F-15E has earlier, most planes in the game come with multiple skins from different eras/squadrons, a default skin for a plane has never determined the characteristics of that vehicle. Also the Su-27 and R-77 aren’t nerfed at all, the Su is a decent 1 circle fighter, despite how large it is, it’s not beating something like a gripen or J-10 unless you get lucky but I’d say its flight model is pretty well done, and the R-77 was never going to be a better bvr missile than the 120, It’s fins cause more drag and it pulls harder, it sacrifices range for g limit.

I very much agree with the F-15E having 229 engines.

Them nerfing the F-15E affects you in no way so ofc you wouldn’t share the frustration, but to call anyone complaining a baby over it is just pretty ignorant

if we decided planes by squadron skin the f16c would be a dozen planes with tiny differences, brain dead take

Exactly, and I didn’t even mention, if we were basing the F-15E off a squadron that used the 220 engines, then why would the plane have hmd and gbu 39s, they’re clearly picking and choosing what they want to give to the vehicle, it was never based on the squadron of the plane

2006 weapons with outdated engines, the 229’s where produced and installed specifically because the CFTs and upgraded airframes where heavier, not giving the 15E its 229’s while giving the 15I the engines is one of the most stupid decisions i have ever seen gaijin do

there is literally no other reason other then to gimp an american plane to possibly add a later variant or god forbid sell a premium down the line

Ok Jailynn, well you enjoy your slower F15 and have a good evening. You really should try playing some other nations and not limit your options for the meta.

additionally, this is a document i have seen the bug report mods throwing around to “disprove” the 229’s being needed on the f15E

i have not been able to locate this document anywhere and am half convinced its either fake or really old, anyone able to locate it?
