So they are giving Su-27 special treatment?
No, they were just trying to fit their shitty FM into the schedules of a real airplane.

Oh so they just messed up the other parts and adjusted for it? I thought you meant that Su-27 was just really draggy and they gave it more thrust so it would be good
The Su-27 has low drag, but Gaijin couldn’t simulate it properly, so he just gave low engine thrust losses. In fact, all planes suffer from this: the EF-2000,the RAFALE, and the Mirage and F-16

Except for F-15 it seems, they just don’t seem to care about it since it has so much channel loss when it’s a straight shot to the engine
The F-15 also suffers from this when installing an engine in an airplane, you can safely remove 1-2 tons of thrust.

Then all the other planes should have 1-2 tons of thrust loss, but they dont
Well, probably best would be to compare it with existent ghraps… if there is any aviable and safe for posting.
Can say surely that F-15E underperforms a lot in case of non-afterburner speed at high altitude

Because Gaijin is trying to fit FM into existing charts, but without reducing drag or increasing lift.
Unless there is a source saying gaijin is right about engine channel loss then it should be lowered to the level of other jets regardless
You must realize that duct losses are pressure losses, not thrust losses. Of course there are graphs that show the relative thrust losses in the air intake duct and nozzle

Sure, but should the F-15 specifically really have this much loss? If they are taking liberties with all the other jets they should take liberties with the F-15’s as well
Compare the F-15 with the existing acceleration, climb, and turn schedules.
Gaijin has engine installed thrust data for the F-15A/C, I am not sure about the F-15E. The intake losses are accounted for on the F-15 series properly… they have chosen to improperly model the Su-27, it is “good enough” for them at the moment. The higher thrust is not the advantage you think it is. It comes with increased drag and low SEP.

So this pretty much means that gaijin doesn’t know how to properly model other planes and the F-15s are accurately modeled.

Most American stuff aside from the F-16 is modeled pretty well given the game engine limitations. The Su-27 and MiG-29 lack the easy to read and simplistic EM diagrams of western aircraft and thus are poorly modeled.

No. The only restriction is the -220 jets cannot share CFTs with -229 jets due to some differences in how the heat exchangers work. They get swapped around like candy otherwise.
