Just compare graphs from flight manual, F-15E is barely better than tornado
Oh yeah, 28x SDB / AGM-187A (7x BRU-61A/A) + 4x AAMs

Imo flight performance doesn’t really matter in the current environment, with amraams and shit it should work fine against its enemies.
Btw can you share the graphs of both tornado and f15e? You got me curious.
No. It was on another forum and moderator deleted it for some reason.

Oh that sucks.
And it was loaded F-15E vs empty Tornado TBH.

Ingame i think it may perform a bit worse than the mig29SMT, for comparison the su-34 weighs 22 ton which is 6 more than the standard su-27, that plane will be a super brick but the weaponry may compensate.
I wonder how poorly theyll model it

Itll murder sim matches. This thing will be able to complete most ground objectives on a map every sortie by itself…

No new engines?

I don’t know for sure, but the one they showed in the stream didn’t get new ones
Bvvd said no new engines for balance, so the best attacker isn’t also the best fighter.
“balance” lol, as if the Su-34 isn’t going to be the better a better attacker in game.

Apg-70 is getting ground radar for moving targets though, so that’s a plus.
It won’t be that good, it has a nice loadout of 6x kh38 but it lacks thermals, regarding flight performance it can turn more than the su27 due to the canards but it bleeds much much much much more energy.
For ground battles the su25sm3 might still be better just because of the thermals in my opinion.
Su-34 will never be better. lol lmao even.
Su-34 has no thermals, lacks weapon options, and is slower [not talking about supersonic speed].
6x better performing Kh38 vs 6x worse 65Ds but with thermals, so I guess I could see the argument.
I don’t think most other new weapons that both are getting are even worth mentioning if we are talking about ground RB. the cruise missiles seem like a gimmick and the GBU-39s are to small to really do anything outside of acting as radar decoys.

Ur right, the grom-1 rockets and the gbu 39 will be fun to use against AI in air rb and SIM but almost useless against player-controlled tanks

So reminder that the F-15I is coming and the F-15I was only equipped with the 229 engines.
So if the F-15E is coming with 220s, we once again have another example of a third party getting a better version of the same aircraft at the same exact BR.
What “balance” is there if there is the better F-15 with the upgraded engines sitting in another tree?
