F-15 Eagle: History, Performance & Discussion

if you play the game with a Steam account using a certain Email, it’s not actually linked to Gaijin, so when you mistakenly log into a non-Steam account with the same email, you’ll find yourself in a different account than the one linked to Steam. Even if you try to switch back, I could still be accused by those with opposing views of using two accounts on the forum. Anyway, you also haven’t proven to me that the AIM7 can counter other Fox1s with skill. I consider that a victory, even if I get banned for that silly reason.

You dont counter other planes with Aim-7 by using your skill smartass, you use your superior flight performance, situational awareness,more countermeeasures and Aim-9M’s and even then Aim-7M are quite useful in most scenarios.

İf you cant deal with Su-27 while using F-15 that means you have skill issues, simple is that.

You can say the same thing about the F8E and F4S, bringing down the F4S isn’t difficult when using the F8E, but it doesn’t mean anything. In the current meta, everyone has the opportunity to bring down opponents if they have a good position.

Lare caliber countermeasures, And how many countermeasures you use depends on your playstyle, and neither of them has the ability to spam countermeasures like the Gripen.

The AIM9M really good in furballs where everyone is struggling to pay attention to missiles coming from all directions, but when used against a single target that knows you’re there, flaring against the AIM9M is much simpler than the R73, especially at close ranges where the AIM9M can miss even at 1km at the rear aspect.
The Su-27 carries 10 missiles and all are useful, while the F-15 only has 4 X AIM9M which are really effective at Top Tier.

Dogfighting at Top Tier is the worst choice you can make at Top Tiers.

Which effectively Doesnt change the result since Gaijin reduced countermeasures efficiency.

Discussion was about Su-27 and its op R27ER’s, was not about Gripen. Try not to derail it.

Which is simply lie, Aim-9M’s works really good in furball because it has better IRCCM.

Which is also ile cause R73’s IRCCM is weaker then 9M.

İt never does, can you stop throwing bs claims.

6 of them can be easily avoidable while 27ER’s requires more skills.

Has 8 missiles which 4 of them are amazing and other ones quite useful in most cases, not the best not the worst.

General flight performance effects on how much you can be agressive and how much you can push your aircraft, guess you also dont know that.

You got anything other then same excuses? İm still waiting.

i will show u if u want me to do, i recorded.

The Su-27 retains energy well at speeds above Mach, and I have no issues operating the Su-27 actively in combat

You’re wrong here. If you’re not talking about the game. Both have terrible FM in the game

And here too

F-15 has much better FM then Su-27 in game, feel free to prove me wrong.

And i have no issues catching Su-27’s in my F-15, forcing them into 1vs1 and dunk on them, whats your point again?

I also have many questions about the Su-27’s FM in the game, it seems to be wrong somewhere

Here what? İts a common knowledge that in game Aim-9M performs better then R-73 at medium to long range range because of having better IRCCM.

well…

Not, R73 IRCCM just better, AIM 9M strong because furball meta.

oh yes

Yes, but these are short-range missiles, not medium-range. The medium-range IR is R-27T/ET

Oh you thought you can just sling R27ER and get a easy kill every single time? İ got bad News for you buddy…

Tell me you have no idea what you’re talking about without telling me you have no idea what your talking about.

R73’s IRCCM works by reducing the fov, Aim-9M’s IRCCM simply shuts off seekers head as soon as it detects any other ir signature and keeps guiding missile to last known position.

Thats why both R73 and Magic-2’s can easily flareable in side,head-on and even rear aspect depending on speed while Aim-9M performs much better.

They have problems with the geometry of the aircraft. Not like with FM

You know those missiles are based on SARH missiles that can reach 50-100km right? İn average furball scenarios medium range will be usually 2-4km.

Well, in general, when introducing the R-73, questions arise. Since the mechanism for selecting moving targets has not been implemented. The autopilot is still broken. TVC also works very strangely and this is not only a problem with the R-73

R-27T/ET IR-missile not SARH

İm very well aware that R73 has its own issues and waiting for proper fixes for that, but until then Aim-9M will stay best missile in general performance.
