Thats my whole point.
I am just working on some things to put in here showing another jet out running an R-77.
I already tested the max speed of the 15E and the 15I around 3.5km alt
The point what he said is on NEZ,
F-15I can evade with only energy run on cold bearing, while F-15E with F100-PW-220 couldn’t on the same condition.
He said no other jet can out run an R-77 launched 4km away at 3km alt.
He also said He believes the F-15I is capable of 1.8 under 4km alt.
because Ra’am actually can run over mach 1.8 at 4000m~ altitude.
No it can not. 1.7 at 4000m~ alt yes not 1.8. At 3500m~ alt your looking around mach 1.6 to 1.7 (that is also 1.7 while slick)
Hello guys. We wanted to update you regarding the F-15E. The developers plan to upgrade the engines of the F-15E to the PW 229 engines to match the Israeli F-15Is engines. Thanks for your feedback.

This was only done because the US mains moaned too much
When the Gr1 was added there was backlash over it getting the worse engines and no changes and now because it was the US it goes there way

Will the Tornado Gr1 get the mk103 engines as well as that is a similar ahistorical balancing nerf?
Tornado GR.4 is coming with the Mk 103 engines. This has no relation to the F-15E.

Didn’t realise the Gr4 was going to be the same BR as the Gr1 or WTD61
Thats because its not, there are numerous differences between the GR.4 and WTD. Lets please avoid the off-topic trolling.

Were the engines worse to the level of the 220s vs 229s? Because I can assure you they weren’t

Is there any word about it’s TGP or is it keeping the LANTRIN?
There was a few accepted bug reports about it getting the sniper or litening, so I would probably expect that to be changed
Was just confused by why you were using the GR4s mk103 engines to justify why the Tornado Gr1 cant get it’s historically accurate Mk103 engines within the context of the F15E getting it’s historical engines after a similar nerf was applied to it for the sake of balance.
If F-15E gets its historically accurate engines, then so should others, such as the tornado Gr1 which is stuck with mk101 engines for 100% “balancing decision”
I had submitted a bug report about the 65Ls range 2 days into last updates dev server. They still are not changed.
