F-15E and F-15I should go to 14.0+

I mean… It is definitely better than F-15C in acceleration yes, though the F-15E that is in the live server right now can accelerate up to 3400 km/h TAS at 10km altitude. If there is anything that indicates F-15E can fly that fast irl then share it.

3400 at 10km altitude? Are you sure?You get wing overload If you fly with 2.5 match at 10k altitude


Approximate top speeds. Blue is new, Orange is old. This graph is according to gszabi.

Why did the I get a smaller drag coeff nerf than the E though? Shouldn’t it be the same


I don’t see a difference here.

Fuselage zero lift drag coeff

I tested it in test flight,i got wing overload at 10k altitude after 2.5 match. After 2 match the acceleration will be going slower, and after 2.5 match i think it takes maybe 20 km dist to reach 3400 kmh. But you cant, by wing overload+ the maps are very little.

What?

The only AMRAAMs it can mount are the -120C & -D’s due to the reduced space available in the internal bay, requiring the use of Clipped Surfaces and Fins, not that a -120C-3 is otherwise that different to the already implemented AIM-120B.

Also the F-22 Is only able to load the -9X, not the -9M, it entered service in 2005 post dating the introduction of the basic AIM-9X, before that it would have been tested with the AIM-9R / Box Office prototypes, that eventually became the -9X

The F-22 also has access to the JDAM and assorted stores that can be loaded onto the BRU-61 (e.g. SDB-I, SDB-II & AGM-187A and other UAI certified stores(e.g. SPEAR 3) are a software update away)

Hahahahah

A & B are usable on the external stores.
C up until 4 or 5 has no upgraded range apparently.
And F-22 used 9Ms for two of its bay store positions, and external stores.
It is 9X capable, but that won’t be in War Thunder for a while regardless.

So yeah, it’s using weapons already in game outside its AESA radar, and its defensive stealth capabilities which are the two things that will dictate its BR more than anything else.

I think we can see F-22A at the earliest later next year.
A stealth AESA F-15C.

It’ll totally outclass the F-15 in flight performance, as much as I love F-15s they don’t have a chance against the 22 in a dogfight

Don’t forget the LPI properties of said radar, a select few RWRs (late British variants are confirmed) will be able to provide info that one is active (they detect change / spike in background energy over time), with no other info about direction or state.

And with an RCS at least a magnitude better than the F-117, you are looking at very short tracking distances(1/10th that of the F-117), even if able to be detected, which will massively reduce the risk of Fox-3’s. and IRST / EOTS systems don’t currently have the ability to support radar missiles (slave radar to Sensor LoS). It would only really be able to be engaged by longer ranged IR missiles (R-27ET / MICA-IR etc.), and with decoys and advanced Countermeasure formulations it should be able to deal with those handily.

It will be even less so if they overhaul IR signatures to decouple them from Thrust output of the engines.

Cry more, looks like a FnF weapon to me

Anyone know how to stop the lantirn tgp on the f-15e from slaving to radar?

It got nerfed, so they could add F-15E before F-111 or just remove it lol

just let the whiners keep whining.

Turn off the radar.
