F-15 Eagle: History, Performance & Discussion

It’s a feature, not a bug

How can they make things wrong by such a large margin is beyond my comprehension

Simple, they rushed a fix (buffed turn rate to match charts at low speed), but it affected the aircraft at all speeds. Now a subsequent report must clarify and fix the error.

BTW can you take a look at the flanker later? i’m like 99.9% sure there’s something wrong with it

I will

Tbh Pierre Sprey would at least make most NATO aircraft preform based upon western sources, instead of ruski ones.

Gaijin, eeeehhhh nope.

Graph is with 97% engine trim, not 102%. Maybe that is part of the issue.
SAC also shows higher sustained but at a bit of a lower weight:

That is for the TF-15A, which has a number of other changes. I’ll continue to pull from the foremost primary source (TO 1F-15A, 1986)

any news on AIM-7P?

The AIM7P is a Navalised sparrow, the F15 never fired the missiles and was used by the USN. The US army did not really use the 7P or the 7MH.

USAF u mean?

Yes.

I made a graph that is ± accurate.
Su-27 seems to show the correct parameters.

Yes, well report it and we will see.
I dont think engine trim should do 3deg/s alone.

I can’t adjust my current report about the low speed underperforming sustained turn rate? Or amend it by stating the update over-compensated the high-end sustained turn rates?

No, because it is already closed as fixed.

A new report will be made tonight.

Oh its the boy who cried “overperforming”
