Never had issues with the radar, and the missile is still the most reliable on cold aspect and harder to notch aswell. If you think that a block15 with apg-66 v1 and no sparrows should be on par with a 12.7 flanker there’s no reasoning with you.
All these BR problems are a compression issue, moving these planes up or down is just moving the problem elsewhere
What? The Flanker has equal weapons with a worse radar and RWR.
It’s slightly inferior to the F-15A.
This thread is about F-15??? Not F-16
Im responding about the french F-16a being 12.3
You clearly responded to this convo, I threw the french F-16a in there to use as an example of the F-15a being clearly better while sharing the same BR, but at the same time gets overshadowed by 12.7’s like the flanker.
There is not a right BR for the F-15A because the BR’s are away too compressed. That was my point all along.
I don’t know how to be more clear than this, hope you understand now
Fair
Also fair
Still fai- hold on wait.
The F-15As radar is so sensitive that even a target going diagonally with a ~5° variation in altitude leads to MEM mode constantly, and with a SARH as suboptimal as 7Ms it leads to an evasion without much effort.
I’m not saying the APG-63 PSP is worthless at all (it can still missile slave decently for medium range engagements for 9M slingers), but it’s not a reliable asset to be pointed out.
Absolutely valid point, yet it’s the only system Gaijin has come with to make the game functional as we know it.
Ehh… I would take the F-15A radar every time, having the RAM mode is far more useful and I don’t have any issues with maintaining locks, both are great in that aspect, but the F-16 does not have sparrows so that’s a moot point.
And by the way, the original flanker radar is worse at searching and maintaining locks, but the R-27ER tracks so much better even in cold aspect that in the end the results are FAR better for the flanker in regards to BVR, not even counting the missile performance, and missile count. What’s the point of maintaining a good lock if the sparrow decides to yeet to Australia anyway?
Functional? Ahahaaha only if function solves for misery and pain to make those wallets open up.
Who’s to say that the game wouldn’t be more enjoyable and get more playerbase if they loosen up the BR compression? Muh queue times? Reduce team sizes in the meanwhile and its two birds with one stone
It should be bug imo but, It seems that most of the RWRs in the current top tier vehicles are somehow not warned of SARH missiles from the F-15A.
I got launched AIM-7Ms from F-15A but, my RWR tells nothing for somehow when I was on F-14B.
