F-15 Eagle: History, Performance & Discussion

I don’t care about my perception at all - it doesn’t aid in correcting unrealistic performance.

Often when things overperform (and is often the case for NATO stuff oddly enough)… they hide the useful information and do not share it under any circumstances.

Well im trying to be impartial here, i meant that those who immediately reject others as trolls or derailers (in this case biased) due to past transgressions should actually consider propositions before denouncing anything again. You have cultivated a reputation that leads people to erroneously discredit you and your motives, i want others to look at the substance of your arguemsnts on a case by case basis. eliminates the previously discussed personal offense

They should heavily criticize everything I’ve ever posted… but yes on an individual basis. There’s a reason I’ve passed so many reports.

AMRAAMs can go active from launch, they automatically go active at 16kph whether the host radar has a lock or not.

Vikhr is missing 200mm of flat pen, and adjusted accordingly for higher angles. Other than that it’s the same with the other missiles in game.

So there is an inaccuracy? lol thats crazy i though mig23 wanted the vikhr to go 10^9 m/s so that his favorite vehicle the ka52 could be better /s

If we’re talking about reliability, during the Ethiopia and Eritrea war, only one out of like 20 r-27s launched hit a target.

Missiles require periodic maintenance, shelf life of American missiles isn’t so great either.

Yeah, just take their word for it with no source

lol

Idk where mig23 gets his numbers from here but while static thrust is ver similar between the two, optimal thrust has a much larger gap, which is what i believe he was refering to. Once again no idea where his numbers come from.

I meant no offense lmao, i was and still am a mig29 fanboy and wish it was what it isnt. I think that the absence of a nato equivalent to the 27er is pretty inexcusable tbh, theres no way adding a aim7p with datalink is too much to ask for. Would basically be a qol change tho, wouldnt adress the issue

Is this the Mig29 thread?

Is this the R27ER thread?

Datalink? The Aim7 does not need datalink to compete at 12.3.

what happened is he did what he was accusing me of, and misread the graphs. Then instead of admitting that, he’s doubling down and comparing dynamic thrust instead, when I specifically said in my initial comment “the gap is not as big as he would have you think, it even has the advantage in static thrust

He’s so desperate to be right that he just glosses over things. Some of the extrapolations he was trying to do on dodgy graphs was absolute gold. Fools gold.

I very explicitly said the numbers that are under an entirely different aircrafts max weight 1:1… how is that interpreted as “misreading the graphs”?

I must admit you’re incredibly good at mental gymnastics.

Calm down boys, let’s not initiate ww3…

Because I said “the static thrust in the gripen is higher”, and you said “no, you’re reading MTOW instead of full fuel”.

More projection.

Yeah the Aim7M can totally be buffed. Check this link out.

Sorry did not mean to erase my post, my internet connection is spotty and i couldnt undelete. I can recreate it if its important to you. The modeling of lofting and general trajectory shaping of the 7m has been long discussed, is there no dev response or has no report been made yet?
By IG you dont mean instagram right?

I made a bug report on it some time ago but there is no good data for how it should optimize the trajectory. It is known that it can loft, limit overload, etc but not info about specifics as to how much.

I guess the modeling of monopulse and inverse seekerheads could also help the f15. Though eliminating multipath for some may be too drastic.
