F-15E 86-0183 possibly will be only with PW-220.
yeah ik but it has a bunch of cool test stuff, it has the outer pylons
@GeneralLee2000
The faster a jet goes the more channel loss at low subsonic speeds it has.
Static thrust doesn’t matter that much anyway.
@Lolman345
Gaijin’s drag is currently correct for clean aircraft. It was correct 3 years before DCS corrected their’s with the introduction of the jet Lightning.
What’s incorrect is pylons don’t have mass or drag.
Of clean loadouts.*
@BBCRF
Su-27’s flight models were changed, engine thrust has not been changed and is currently accurate to known data.
Gaijin does not change engine thrust unless it’s proven.
Su-27s don’t have low channel losses.
@kitsune_qq
F-15E can and does supercruise at its designated speed on dry thrust.
The thrust is accurate.
@quartas121
The F-15s are currently accurate in sustained, climb, and top speeds below 14000 meters.
Should be better than in game at high alt
Although the flight model has been changed, it is still far from what is needed, the thrust of the Su-27 engine is overestimated like all the others to compensate for the excessive drag.
If you think the Su-27 needs to be better than the Gripen in flight performance, I have a bridge to sell you.
The Su-27s are already meta flight models and currently don’t have “excessive drag”.
The Su-27’s engine also isn’t over-estimated.
The Su-27 is the most maneuverable aircraft of the 4th generation in the STR.
Highly doubt that.
Su-27SM BTW is as good as F-16C in-game with same fuel time.
The F16 is significantly inferior to the Su-27
That is not a sustained turn, that’s an instantaneous turn which is matched in War Thunder.
On the contrary I would rate the F-16 as the best in sustained turning, the Viper is little matched to this day.
Air shows are not valid.
It’s (SDB-I stands in for the assorted BRU-61 mounted stores) not listed in any if the Brochure’s I’ve seen.

Are the outer hardpoints UAI capable like the rest? And physically is there a limitation stopping it from mounting a twin SDB BRU-55?
Probably not physically, but only the F/A-18E/F have the BRU-55 or -57 & SDB integration planned.
F-16 have both (so in USAF possession), and at least for BRU-57 it’s UAI cleared so theoretically an F-15EX could carry them outboard, unless there is a physical limitation
Community Bug Reporting System Got another report here for y’all this time for multiple things missing for short range missiles on the F-15 HUD… I have same issue and share please?
uhh… so yeah, like I said the loss doesn’t matter? lol. And the Su-27S despite going nearly as fast as the F-15 has way lower channel loss, so it’s not like it’s from the max speed of the plane or anything. It’s simply how the FM worked out.
This STR, not ITR
According to all charts, the Su-27 is superior to the F-16
