I’ll tell you about an aircraft with a 13.0 battle rating, no omnidirectional PD radar, no helmet-mounted sight, medium-range missiles that lag behind the 7M, and a payload limited to either 6+2 or 4+3 configurations. It’s quite the challenge to guess which one it is!😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Tbh all of the tornadoes suck right now.
I mean the ones that still bombs the bases are just hightier bombers RN, and the actual combat ones sucks. But I can see why it sucks since it is not manoeuvrable, but without ARH u can’t really ignore the manoeuvrability like F15E or something like that. Yet the other stuff perfectly fits the 12.x impression.
Indeed they seam to be pretty underwhelming across the board
F111 syndrome(but lacking the good aspects)
Just interesting observation Ive made today, after finishin spading my F-15A (A2G ordnance)
These are my stats in it when I played it as 13.0:
These are from today
Theres startk difference in performance.
British tornadoes are lucky to have an air to air loadout. German tornadoes are stuck with 2 sidewinders.
Yeah having a lower chance to face 13.3 fox 3 is nice. It comes down to 12.7 TT skilled player vs 12.7 premium newbies. Honestly I think the F15A is gonna perform well for a veteran player but average for newcomers. F15J with aam3 is gonna have better global stats for Feburary than the F15A probably.
So are British Tornado IDSs, such as the Tornado GR1 and Tornado GR4. (should be noted we lack any IDS at 11.3 and our 11.7 is distinctly weaker than the others with weaker engines)
Yes, the Tornado ADVs get a more extensive A2A loadout because they were converted into an A2A role but comparing the ADVs to the IDSs is a bit dishonest
It has its flaws, which the massive increase in compression is only going to exasperate

Definetively.
Once I figure out how to stop being bad and not have positioning of lvl 20 player that just started the game, yeah. tis even a shame, I like my 18C early but with F-15A at the same BR…

They always have 😅

Because the British made an air defence version
It is why they have better loadouts

10.0 - 12.7 is just cope amd pain anyway. Mig25 has already killed the BR range it plays… theres already better vics at 12.7 than the 15a.
Can you give an example
F16s
Suprisingly, even Defyn (one of the biggest glazers of the F-15A at one point) is okay with the F-15s going to 12.7? Even with 9Ms??? That was weird.
Still, 9/11 for forum users on live broadcast.

Of course his fine with it, as much as I love watching his videos and I do seriously learn a lot from him, he’ll be fine with it because it can farm lobbies at 12.7 now which means good content for him + he doesn’t have to constantly face Premium Su-30 spam at 13.3. Because as long as the Su-30s are at 13.3 making the water dirty, the F-15A actually going down makes sense.
What Gaijin should’ve done was move the Premium Su-30s up to 13.7 which would’ve not made it necessary for the F-15A to go down. The Premium Su-30s are the sole reason I am not playing 13.0+ right now, its just a slog, an annoying slog and not at all fun to play that BR. (Doesn’t help my favourite plane is at 13.7 in the JAS39C. I don’t very much like the Tornados, they’re fast in a straight line but something about them just doesn’t click with me.)

Same guy that supposedly loves the plane to be compressed btw
Jump to 12:10.

Beeschurger discovers compression and actual good performance (as most of planes should achieve if played good enough, something your 13.0 stats couldn’t entirely achieve as they were on the thin border between good and average).
The Mirage 4000 should go to 12.7 up next if Gaijin doesn’t decompress the premium slops at 13.3.
But honestly, I’m still amazed people is like genuinely hating a plane that has NEVER got a straightup broken status unlike the JAS-39A/C or the Su-27 to some lesser extent. Unbelievable.
Aim-9Ms are genuinly pathetic. I think what we should really be focusing on is good Fox-1 + good radar + good FM. F-15A facing F-4J is full uptier is already silly, but now it’s only 0.7 above.
F-4J will now be fully outclassed at ALL distances. Atleast when it comes to something like the AV-8B Plus, the F-4J has the advantage of more missiles and better FM.
