Fair enough. New build F-15 could have better quality/metallurgy though.

explain how the FBW changes the aerodynamics of the jet
because that is not how it works
at most the FBW will make the jet easier to fly and control but it wont change its aerodynamics

again, go argue with someone else you’re not even following your own logic atp

At most it’s possible FBW “unlocks” the limit of performance that wasn’t really possible before but I can’t back this up so I don’t expect it to happen ingame

just prove me wrong then
prove how the mig-35 having much higher drag and lower thrust to weight makes it ufo compared to mig29. by your own logic
just using your own logic dude

@ron_23 is speaking about wing geometry, which is needed for dogfight capability improvements.
Thrust cannot improve dogfight performance on its own if the wing geometry isn’t designed for that thrust.
that’s the point ive been trying to make. the digital FBW pushes the airframe to its absolute maximum which is exactly what makes it more maneuverable than the C/E model IRL. my point was me hoping gaijin would compensate for the fact they dont model fbw by at least making the fm slightly better.
apparently that has started ww3
drag is negliible below trans sonic speeds
and guess what the Mig-35 hits a brick wall at mach and has a lower VNE than the base Mig-29
so if anything you dont know what you are talking about

IIRC it’s still limited to ~8.2 G? At least with AoA capped. With its thrust it could easily retain/regain speed after a decent pull. Everything else (ie AoA uncapped) it would still be the same as F-15E anyway, just with more thrust to regain speed.
and i understand that. just using his own logic against him. “how does heavier + more thrust make it better” then how the hell does MIG-35 with a much higher drag coefficient and lower thrust to weight ratio and much more heavier make it have almost ufo like performance compared to mig-29
double standards
me when i dont even read the awnser
and still ignore the redesigned aerodynamic surfaces
me when i lie
9G
And it’s STR does become better at speed and altitude, by quite a bit once it starts getting really fast

It’s not the right MiG-29, it’s German /s
his argument would make sense even if he was talking about the Mig-29K since it is heavier than the Mig-35
the issue with that is that you will have a huge turn radius at high speeds and high altitude
which makes it really easy to just launch missiles at you
Except when you test it in an actual environment, it is. Load the thing down with all the bombs and fuel you can manage and then compare that to the mudhen. Miles apart.
fly by wire is not a physical system it does not magically make an aircraft better. try to play air sim in wt and use manual controls and dampening controls and perform maneuvers you will find it easier to do with dampeing mode on , its possible in manual mode but its hard and the chances of you entering a spin or to making a mistake is higher in manual mode but its much easier in dampeining mode. thats how FBW works (in a nutshell). it make it easier for the pilot to fly. an F15EX without a FBW can do the same as an F15EX with a FBW , FBW is not magic its not gonna magically produce more lift.

you can do all of these in full real controls.

Why isn’t the 129 engine’s thrust 13 tons?
