F-15 Eagle: History, Performance & Discussion

Most of what we have is pilot testimonies which gaijin disregard.

However do we know if there are any pilots that have flown both. I know its a rarity generally for foreign pilots to fly US-owned stealth fighters with like 10 counts between the F-35 and F-22 combined.

It might only be exchanges between the RAF and the RAAF and the USAF which checks out from a trust and security PoV.

not really

we have decent values for thrust and weight

along with known planform area, and reasonable estimations for Oswald efficiency and Cd0 we can figure out a lot about how they preform

Gaijin dosent care about any of that

Just come to peace with the fact that it will be impossible to report the fm of 5th gens

true

but they dont care much about reality either anymore

Not really.
In game rafailure has HMD and better ARH.
Rapetor wouldnt be better outside of skillcheck amraam launches from long range and gun only dogfight.

It will. But only specific datapoints like acceleration

Tbf if rafale gets HMD there’s a very high likelihood that F-22 does as well. It tested it in 2014 and the MLU program is fitting it to Raptors in service in Hawaii this year. The real issue would the amraam just not pulling…

any info on amraam off rail maneuverability/fin aoa performance?

i wish we could make our own radar presets

Well.
They can go with “early” F-22 and later one.
Wouldnt be suprised if first one will lack HMD.

It just nerfed into ground, thats it

I wouldnt be too surprised

but they did give the rafail HMD and it was tested fairly early on f22 so it definitely should get HMD by their standards

but those standards are flexible and seem to always go against US planes

i wouldnt mind getting rapetor way earlier even without HMD

Unfortunately no, it’s super classified

Oh I agree, I could totally see it. I’m just saying that there is no guarantee

AIM-120A & B - Performance against manoeuvring targets too poor
AIM-120 C-5 max AOA wrong
AIM-120A & B - Can no longer pull 35 g

F-22 early premium

I really hope that in the near future, they will let us interchangeably choose which exact pylon we want equipped for already unlocked stock missiles for stock jets, as when we research and grind our way through the modifications…

Ex: F-15C MSIP II Eagle

When I finally reached and unlocked the AIM-9M modification to have the ability to equip more than the stock 2x, I couldn’t do it without sacrificing an AIM-120A hardpoint (inside outer wing), which is limited to only one pylon station. I can’t take off any of the under-fuselage pylons AIM-7Ms to have them swapped out for the stock 2x AIM-120A either. (extremely annoying).

Edit* I just checked the F-15C Golden Eagle’s modification window, and they STILL make you grind through the AIM-9L and AIM-7M at 14.3 BR (Bruh). Repeating the exact same pylon + worse missile problem usage once again…

OH LORD HEAVENS ABOVE… THEY NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. 💀

All the upgraded leagecy 4th gens have that issue

On the Su-30SM you also need to grind out sarh missiles

The only jets that don’t have that are the ones that aren’t able to take sarh missiles for example the rafale and eurofighter (albeit the EF still has to research the 9L)

sure

but 27er is nowhere near as bad as aim7m

you mean half the planes at the same BR as F15GE

(also we dont know if the new radar can guide sparrows so probably shouldnt have to grind through them)

APG-63(V)3 buff makes it marginally better than the Rafales radar.
