Russian jets are limited to 10km ACM, i think f-16 is 9km too and actually gripen might be too. Over 10km ACM at top tier is rather rare at the moment. F15 being one example of 19km one which is pointless cuz sparrow will selfdestruct halfway there.

maybe with 120s it did test them
Hey guys I found some information regarding the trust of the f-15’s engines and idk how to make a suggestion or whatever
This is going to get ignored as there is no mention of the 25k lbs being installed thrust. Some thrust is lost when an engine is mounted on the airframe due to airflow restrictions but gaijin seem to be making up the percentage of lost thrust with no reasoning behind it
I doubt that would pass as a primary or secondary source as it’s just some museum website.
Does not specify if installed and at what speed.
Also, charge your phone :)

It’s run by govt. Maybe I can sk them where they got the numbers
Wdym if installed? It is the info page for the f15a specifically, it was installed on the airframe
They are probably just quoting other source…
But well, lets asume it is installed. At what speed?
In game it alredy does 25000lbf at 0.6M

exactly, I work with jet engines. stating thrust numbers without the context of what speed it occurs at, is meaningless.

My bad. Next time I will check for that aswell. Also, since you have experience with jet engines do you think the f15a is underperforming thrust/speed wise? I have watched some testing videos that show that in wt the f15a only reaches around Mach 2.4 at altitude when it should be Mach 2.5.
It is modeled after flight manual 102% engine trim (max) speed. ~2.3 Mach in standard day conditions.

Do you have a link to the manual?
it depends on how they tuned production engines, which I do not know. They could have ran a prototype that fast for demonstration and bragging rights, but production models would have likely been adjusted for reliability, longevity, etc.

I remember you said that the f15’s wing has been fixed, is it obvious that the wing broke at mach 1?
Can I report this? Or is it exactly what the F15s should receive.

Wing G load is correct but you are overloading the aircraft with roll + mouse pull that uses the rudder.
To fix this, roll rate should need to be nerfed.
At high mach get used to pull with keyobard instead of with mouse.

You can disable boosters
