is the F-15 supposed to bleed speed as badly as it does at altitude?

[Panther2995]

Which model you’re talking about?

For example E model retains its energy pretty well at high altitude in sharp turns.

[quartas121]

F-15C, I’m talking about the high subsonic and low supersonic range

No. It should have a higher ceiling, max speed and acceleration

@MaMoran20-psn

It would be better if they modelled the high altitude performance like it should. You cant get high and fast in it unlike others when it should be capable of, there’s a shit ton of drag(or lack of thrust) around the M0.9-M1.1 region and above M1.7. Community Bug Reporting System .
Even under military power, a real life F15C using a single engine has a higher ceiling than war thunder’s F15C using 2 engines due to lack of thrust

But this isn’t a typhoon nor a gripen which get instant bug reports resolved by an inside lobby using marketing brochures as gospel. It is what it is.

Tbf most planes in-game even at top tier don’t even have their service ceiling modeled, no?
