Plenty of things are shown in marketing. Doesn’t mean it’s in operation ready state. Boeing own website says 12, not “12 but we kinda showcased 16”
Improve the flight performance of the already best F-15 in game?
HAHAHA! Show me an F-104 that can sustain 21 degrees per second.
As for the dogfight capabilities.
People got mad when F-15E went mach 2.5 & the drag got nerfed so it’s barely mach 2.3 now.
F-15EX is of course going to inherit the F-15E drag profile in-game.
Outside that, I don’t know anything about how F-15EX’s dogfight performance should be, so I won’t comment.
Your post is wrong about the F-15EX on dev outside that regardless.

Do you feel its flight performance as it is rn is correct?
it is one ton heavier than the f15e ofc its gonna fly like a boat
It is most definitely not correct.
so explain how a heavier airframe will perform better
especially when the F-15EX can do that stuff on the dev

Not dogfighting performance, I am personally not expecting “F-22-like” performance out of it, however I do expect it to have better energy retention after losing said speed in turns
But I meant in like straight-line performance. It being fast isn’t a problem, it’s the lack of structural limits at certain speeds/altitudes

it has better acceleration than the F-15E
exactly what you want

Before any adjustments, of course it will. Even day 1 F-15E was better than current F-15E
How is the mig35 SO much more maneuverabe than the mig29 despite weighing 4000kg more than the mig29? It comes down to the upgraded engines, advanced fly by wire, more advanced control surfaces, ect. If weight was the deciding factor then ALL sukhois would have 40 second turn time

the f15ex fm is just the f15e with 1 ton of extra weight and better engines
the mig35 has a bigger wingspan, bigger elevators and redesigned lerx
also whataboutism
i asked you about the f15ex and not mig35

The top speed is probably wrong.
The acceleration is probably correct.
The top speed of the airframe itself is probably correct.
I don’t know about dogfight performance, I don’t do 1v1s in F-15s as is, so it’s not something that interests me.
I also don’t play the Bullet Hell game mode.
If it’s wrong; cool it can be fixed.
If it’s correct; cool it’s ready.
Either way it won’t impact random battles because they aren’t dogfight game modes.
@dweavertn
Showing videos of the F-15EX doing maneuvers it can do in War Thunder doesn’t prove anything.
IRL it still wouldn’t compare as EX has 30% more thrust. like sure they would both preform pretty well. but still not the same
What? Its literally hard proof showing that the F15ex is very manueverable, but I guess video evidence will never be enough
@dweavertn
You replied to the wrong post.
You’re replying to a post that agrees with the video contents.
Evidence that it wasn’t just thrust limited before?
