Never even thought of that, that’s really smart
Yup :) It’s also the case that experienced F-14 pilots would intentionally sweep the wings forward or back to trick them.
I finally got around to testing, from what I could see the F-15C is 0.02 mach too slow ingame. It also hits it at the wrong alt. In standard day conditions according to the manual the F-15C should max out at mach 2.42 at 12.8 km. I wasn’t able to hit mach 2.4 at that alt. However around 9.5 km I was able to hit mach 2.4… which it shouldn’t be able to do at that alt. I’m not going to bother reporting it, as Gaijin said before they don’t care about exact performance at those extreme alts, and the top speed itself is well within allowable limits. 0.02 mach off is basically nothing.

the turn performance and pull is fine?
I didn’t test that yet, can’t say for sure. It would be extremely difficult to test at that alt is the issue, with how little lift there is. The FM dev has dev tools for that

what about more typical altitudes like 5-8km
I’d say that above 12000 metres is extreme altitude. At those altitudes, not even Rafale perfoms that well. However, at sub 10000 m, Rafale and other turn pretty well while keeping high speeds.
Issue here is that’s where the manual says its top speed is, that’s why I was testing there.
I’ll check when I can

Hmm. AIM-120C-5, AN/APG-63(V)3 and BOL? pretty meh imo
also, USSR seems to be getting the Kh-59 (they really suffered without it)
kh-59 is worse than the kh-38 for sead
Longer range, but God forbid JASSM cause that would truly be op
great those 150km of range are going to be really useful when you spawn 30km away from the battlefield
Ahaha… SURE…
