Thats US plane, so might be like that
Thats what I’m getting from this.
No its not for “balance”, its because its a US aircraft, again.
And if they downgrade the F-15I’s engines thats ahistoric as it never equipped the 220s.

Yeah that would be a bit annoying. Getting US tree but having worse version of stuff every update feels not nice. Although most of the time difference was negligible (e.g 400kg for Japanese F-15C isn’t too noticeable) different engines would be annoying.

They didn’t say balance, on top of that yeah I’ll be going for the Israeli one cause American one runs worse engines and I don’t care for a sidegrade to F-16C as-is, let alone a sidegrade with the worse engines.
10780 LBF of thrust difference, it would be night and day flying the aircraft against each other with that much of a performance difference.

Yeah difference is enormous… at least it’s not Japan again that gets the better variant (it was for F-16A, early F-15s, F-15C)

Got climb rates from BVVD’s stream.
How is the US F-15E having 55 m/s lower of a climb rate when everything else about them is the same, “Balance”?

israel one got 229s for “balance”

I guess they will argue that the 6x AGM-65Ds make up for that gap in performance, somehow.
imo the US one should also just get the -229 engines and if the US one ends up being better than the Israeli one in ground RB they should just be seperated by BR.

BVVD said they did not want to add the more powerful engines to the 15E from the get go, as to not make it the best fighter and attacker simultaneously. A bit later, thoug, he said the 15I only had the more powerful engines, so that is what it is going to get.
He mentioned the 15E could also come in the future with the better engines.
Dunno if the 15I is as capable in ground strike as 15E. If it is, then it will be some prime Gaijin Logique.

“You get to enjoy the worse variant of the F-15E for now and we can bloat the tree later on with a version that fixes all the issues of the F-15E we are adding now, but if you want to avoid that just play Isarel.”

I don’t think I saw mavs on the F-15I, but iirc besides that they were identical in CAS options.
I don’t even know how they could think that this would work lol
You are wrong. On first place They don’t think.

I mean, how can you say no to this man’s logic when he has such a cheeky smile when explaining that Israel gets the better version, huh?

I mean, just look at it. The smile tell you that it is all sound logic.

He must have drank the same thing they drank when making the jf-17 release tokyo drift flight model lol.
basic bvvd state
Funny how they didn’t even start the devserver yet and we are already witnessing classic gaijin behavior lmao.
Regardless, let’s not desperate because the f15c had only 4 amraams on the stream and it ended up having 8 after the community started shitting on them, we might need to do it again but in the end i think they’ll get things right.

Nah, people have given gaijin the benefit of the doubt for far too long and far too many times at this point.
I’m just done with seeing every major dev server announcement or video have some example of this occur.
It should not be an issue to begin with.
Yeah no need burn everything down just yet, but it’s probably smart to give feedback/complain in the dev server section of the forum when the dev server opens.
The more people that do so the more likely it is they change it.
