F-15's current flight performance

English?

That’s not how high tier realistic battle is supposed to be. It’s supposed to mimic the real aspects of platforms with weapon kit being the balancing factor the devs have largely used to influence BR. And to be honest, the F-14B can absolutely be a 12.3 platform with AIM-9M and updated AIM-54C.

Its flight model on the f14b needs a very small nerf, its able to cobra too easily and so far not even dcs can do that, and in real life they wouldnt even dare to pull that shit, but in wt, its so unrealistic, but i agree, although i have played rb in so loong

Thats how it should be but it just is not like that as of right now. People would be enraged that usa gets 12.0 while everyone else gets 12.3.

Gaijin patched it wrong so the sustained turn overperforms at high speed, there’s a fix in pipeline for this. Having said that the F-15C it should be noted performs worse than the F-15A, it’s both slightly heavier and the -220 engine has a little less thrust.

Yes ik, but the difference in sustained turn rate is by 1° irl.

It’s 19 degrees per second when weighing 35000 pounds, which it does do now.

Thats not correct and not the one i used, also, its 35000 pounds, clean, 7000 pounds of fuel as the F-15A is 28000 pounds, and 7000 pounds of fuel is 20 minutes worth of fuel, the F-15A sustained 24° at 400 knots, i know exactly of what your talking about and your wrong, as it sustained 20° at the deck.

Well F-15A has some issues that I don’t know what’s causing.
All I know is F-15J is perfect.

It aint, because as i just said that chart you looked at is for the A model, not the J (C model) the J sustains 19° with 5000 pounds of fuel with a clean configuration and i can say this right now its over performing, one your not doing your tests correctly, your trying to do this shit is mouse aim when thats not how its supposed to be done if you want the most accurate results.

I used HOTAS, which I got the same results as without HOTAS.
Trim is broken in WT, & causes less drag I think.

Make a bug report about it, if the data is on the internet it should be safe to show to gaijin anyway, or send them the links and you technically wont be sharing data. You will just be sharing public google search link. ( i am no expert on this just my personal guess)

Or write to some mods about the situation and ask them if its ok to share with them what you found on the internet.

Just wait for the dev version to go live, no need to test or bug report right now.

None of that matters.

Capability of the weaponry is the primary factor considered, not what arbitrary year it was manufactured/introducted/adopted into service.

Do you know that there are changes coming?

they were already datamined and discussed here, they are just not live yet.

Are the dev servers still live or is it for the next patch?

Dev server is always a thing, just in the current update and you cant log in
