At 12.7
At 12.7 we have premium Swiss Hornet that actually has better radar.
TECHNICALLY it’s missing 0.02 mach of top speed, and it also hits it at the wrong alt, but there is no point in bug reporting it, gaijin doesn’t care about performance this high up…
thats fair
what was more confusing to me was the VNE though
because why would it be different between F15C and E
and doesnt gaijin normally set VNE to higher than IRL, in which case even the F15E VNE would be too low
ah I see. I mean, it’s probably better for gameplay that it hits its top speed at a lower alt, I just find it weird.
Is F-15C MSIP 2 worth anything nowadays? Or should i just skip straight to Giggle?
Msip 2 is probsbly better st 13.7 than the golden eagle is at 14.3
well, i still have to buy it anyways, so might as well spade it along the way. F-15A is pretty fun to play (and laughably overpowered in downtiers) so i hope C won’t dissapoint either.
I used to think that way, but AESA changed my mind. Not allowing enemies getting close is the primary goal of an Eagle, and the 13.7 Eagle lacks the eyes to do that.
i did stupidest play imaginable and died to a Tomcat at the end. Could’ve been 7 kills and hard carry otherwise :(

I hope some day gaijin prepare AIM-9X (Block I) sidewinder to replace AIM-9L on F-15C MSIP II and increase battle rating (Air battle) to 14.0 or 14.3
Not worth it dude
I mean it’s good, it holds more missiles than most at the same BR and you get a lot of 13,3 and below

Stock experience was godawful, and Gaijin, for some ungodly reason made you carry amrums on wing pylons, limiting your use of sidewinders, but once you get trough that - it is indeed extremely capable aircraft. Also getting back to mech radars made me realise how good ESA actually is compared to that.

correct me if i’m wrong, but isn’t 4 of the dispencers on 3D model of F-15 feature large calibre countermeasures?
They do, and the F-15 should have the variant to choose between small, medium and large countermeasures, but gaijob

Well, i can see why they can’t be arsed with introducing modular CM dispencers, even tho it would be a neat mechanic, but ngl, i would prefer 120 single pop large CMs over 240 double pop small ones.
Although at least F-15E could be given this ability, since its dispencers are a part of custom loadouts in the game. At least the choice between Large/Small calibre per station would be nice.

It’s not though, it’d be BOL(ALE-52), Standard(M206), large(MJU-7) and extra large(MJU-10) if things were properly modeled
Provided by the ALE-58 & MJU-11(30 units), -12(15 units) & -17(6 units) magazines for the ALE-40 respectively.

I get it, but in War Thunder we only have large, small and BOL. So at least ability to pick between 30 small or 15 large per dispencer would be nice
