dosent mean that the 15EX dosent have the same issues
and in WT you can easily pull more than 30° of AoA in any F-15 without departing

All aircraft in-game behave as if they have FBW, thus the only way to achieve a “difference” would be to nerf all Eagles before the F-15EX.
FBW is not magic, the F-15EX still weighs 1 ton more than the F-15E and has the same wing area, thrust only converts to a very marginal amount of upwards lift.
The current F-15EX flight model matches all known data for empty mass and thrust, with thrust being based on time to speed data from F-15E No. 20 which was equipped with the GE-129 for testing, no corrections are needed.

well that paper is specifically talking about asymmetric weight and aerodynamic configurations, and the way the control surfaces prioritize stuff. its also talking about the earliest F-15’s
dosent really matter since there were no changes made to the aerodynamic surfaces of the F-15s

Btw, the paper states the F-15s would have uncontrolled problems beyond a certain AoA. Pretty certain that ingame the F-15s don’t lose control beyond true 30 degree AoA, so the earlier F-15s may be behaving like an F-15EX with FBW already.

but you think there werent even adjustments to the control system to reduce this?
possible, with how good instructor is
it also says its from asymmetric loads
the dampner wont be able to correct stuff like that
so if the pilot isnt doing it nobody is
the fix would be to make it so that you cant pull 30° of AoA in the first place
it says that those infulence the behavior not that they cause it
“Lateral weight asymmetries are shown to cause yaw acceleration away from the weight asymmetry at high AOA.”
Can F-15s even reach 30 degrees in AOA in-game?
Never tried landing at extreme angles, so I don’t know.
if that was the case they would not accept it and they would just say something along the lines of “this loadout was not included for historical/balance reasons” then close it they wouldnt accept it
no it isnt getting more than 12 AMRAAMS
and they say so
it most likely will get an extra 4 sidewinders

Redesigned airframe, massively larger wings and control surfaces.
What does the F-15EX have, a contemporary engine to the -229 and… Weight?
US documents said the B2 had a max payload of 40,000 lbs. Then B2s each carried two 30,000 lb MOPs from the US to Iran. Official documents don’t mean actual max performance, just max the US wanted to officially confirm.
A test pilot said the F15EX could reach near mach 3, but Boeing came out and said it had the same top speed as the previous F15. Can it reach mach 3? Maybe, but Boeing isn’t going to release it.
flat 50% buff to all US vehicles and weapons?
No, clearly Israel should get the B21 first because what if they maybe order it?
Cool, should we buff everything by rumours and claims? Because I can totally ask some Su-30 pilot to claim that it can go Mach 7

Sure, go ahead and get an Su30 pilot to claim it can go Mach 7.
