Without navflir, you have repeater with TD box and NOTHING else (we dont have navflir), no camera, nothing, hud on black screen, thats not viable for AA gunnery. Main stick is literally missing all AA functions. It gets stick from F-15A on WSO spot. No ACM, no setting MFD as SOI on main stick. It literally has NO HOTAS on rear seat. Rear seat is meant to fly and preferably land if there is need for it. NOT FOR FIGHTING.

I would be happy if they just gave it the litening 2 like all other top tier cas Planes

It’s worth it to take the next step. The Sniper ATP as we have the Litening III in the game. When the F/A-18 comes we can get the Litening AT

F-15E, a strike plane, having a worse targeting pod than not only the F-16C, a fighter, but also a way worse targeting pod that the new fighters, Eurofighter and Rafale, is a disgrace

Question is if gaijin would want to take the next steep
So I settle for a Common solution(given the amount of litening 2 Users) and the f15E Being a Very Good cas plane and will probably be the best in the game even if Only given litening 2
So I think giving it something better than litening 2 would make it way to overpowered
The lantirn is just horrible
I know the Russians have worse like everything the su22/su17 has
But the problem with the lantirn (same has the f14b)is not it’s zoom or resolution but the awful fov
So it’s impossible to find targets+ the aiming speed is also Very Slow(is there a setting I missed?)
Yea also the fact with the av8b night attack you can get the litening 2 at 11.3-11.7
So yea Being stuck with lantirn at 14.0/12.7 isn’t fun or understandable
For a pilot oriented picture, for a given aircraft configuration at 305+ knots, the Eagle can reach 9g, but not sustained.
The achieved AoA will be over 40 degrees ( the conversion of AoA units to truel degrees is not linear - 10).
Maximum AoA overshoot in certain situations can be as high as 50-60 true AoA.
Ehh. Close enough. You add the fly-by-wire and the F-15EX can do a cobra
I think not, FbW has made it safer to fly but the AoA values should remain similar.
50-60 degrees is already an uncontrolled stall. This means that true Aa will be much lower than this value.

This is an AoA overshoot, after which the aircraft returns to a stable AoA value which is lower.
On minute 5 i can see atleast 70-80 degrees of AOA

That is not even 40
Bro. Is cobra 90?
AoA / velocity vector for Cobra on MiG-29 is only around 60° likewise the true AoA in this video is deceptively low
That flow chart is unscientific at best. There is forward motion when nose is 90° from the ground, true AoA is closer to 60°. Airflow is fully detached over the main wing.
Ok
i see about 70-80 AoA, nice
