The Israeli F-15I is technically better than the F-15E for air superiority due to it having more countermeasures, it lacking fire and forget ordinances doesn’t matter in Air RB.
Just keep spamming or bugging people in forums and you’ll probably eventually get your fire and forget stuff like the SPICE (just how like the American community coped enough until they got the 229 engines).
Thing is I never ran out of countermeasures anyway. I’d rather the F-15E in the Israeli tree rather than a gimped worse copy paste. If it got Python 4 I’d agree but rn it’s just much worse.
As should the F-15JM, F-15C MSIP II, and potentially Su-34.
F-15E’s airframe suffers from its too powerful engine and performs worse in rate compared to the F-15Cs.
The only thing F-15E can do better is high-alt BVR and escapes.
Hard no, there is such thing as too decompressed.
I calculated 14.0 in 2023. We’re at 14.7/15.0 effective today, and that’s dang near perfect decompression from 8.0 to present 13.0.
We might need 15.0 decompression after AMRAAM is added at least.
because We already have three terrible compressions in BR radius
7.0-8.7 Early jets with Subsonics which are drastically ruined by F-86 and MiGs
9.3-10.7 Early-Coldwar supersonics with some subsonic jets.
and 12.7-13.7 current top-rank bracket I guess.
F-86A-5 shouldn’t share the same BR with Meteor F.4 or Vampire FB.5 and punishing Me 262
T-2 shouldn’t have just one step higher BR than F-104A/C or F-100D
and F-15C/E/I shouldn’t have just one step higher BR than Tornado F.3 Late (Two steps seems fine for me) or facing F-14A Early.
We need more and more decompression.
IMO, F-16A or F-14A Early[12.7] which faces F-15E[13.7] barely have no chance against superior enemy
Just like old time when Hunter F.6[10.3] faced F-14A Early[11.3]
I mean, I’d rather be the F-100D in that situation than the other two.
Once the merge happens, T-2 loses to F-100, and F-104 loses to both.
T-2 really only has those AIM-9Js going for it now.
And before you say anything nasty, the reason why I have this perspective is F-100A: ~1.5 KMR, 3:1 KDR.
Defyn’s content, a 1v1 friend of mine, and the engine buffs to F-100 just made that thing soar.
T-2 lacks the rate and acceleration.
F-104 has the acceleration, but not the turning ability.
I get what you mean though, all should be brought up by at least 0.3, and be fine. Obviously with stuff above them going up as well.
F-22A at BR 14.3, lol.
I’m scared because that is completely possible. 13.7-14.0 is starting to enter 4.5 gen region, Eurofighter at 14.0, Rafale at 14.0, etc.
14.3 is 5th gen.
The F-22 only has AIM-9Ms and AIM-120A-C.
It really isn’t ground breaking outside the AESA and stealth aspect.
And we’re close to AESA as the next step, then it’s stealth and GG game “finished”.
Of course IRIS-T/9X/R-74 can be added afterward.
I don’t see a need for the no-escape range AESA AMRAAMs… ever.
Maybe when there’s a stealth-only category of BRs.
But yeah, stealth is great when you don’t know where the stealth aircraft is coming from.
Air RB? Nothing really changes.
Sim is a bit more BVR focused, and there are maps like Afghan to mitigate that.
Sinai in sim is already whichever side as the better BVR wins.
I want gaijin decompression max BR to 14.0 for F-15E and F-15I before add Python 4 (F-15I) and AIM-120C AMRAAM (AIM-120C-3, AIM-120C-5 & AIM-120C-7) for winter update 2024 or BR change in january 2025
The engine power, acceleration, climbrate and speed of F-15E and F-15I are just unreasonable for current state of top tier. They’re not even in the same league as other “top tier” jets. They climb to 13km and can laugh at missiles because they outrun them easily. They can climb to 13km, start spamming SPAMRAAM while some planes still have their landing gear down. This plane should have never been added without proper counters or be put at 15.0 so that it can only fight eachother. Classic Gaijin giving USA the most broken aircraft to squeeze out every $ from 'muricans yapping 104-0 and saying how good and realistic this is.
The funniest thing is that these F-15E apes still find a way to die to a Phantom lmao
