As far as that aircraft is concerned…
I do not mind facing F-15A in Mirage 2000 or F-18.
That’s fine. It’s objectively far superior to both M2K and F-18 though.
Meh.
Much more meh.
This is not real life.
Many advantages aircraft like F-15 had in reality do not matter in game at all.
As I said outside of guns only BFM duelling in a tournament I think Mirage 2000 can easily engage F-15A without issue.
Player skill matters but Mirage 2000 in War Thunder does not have to fear F-15A.
Being faster statistically for example is not all that important. Same goes for the climb rate while the turn time on the stat card is not necessarily indicative.
At least that is what I think you are redering to when you use the word objectively.
This round of BR changes is clearly focused on clustering vehicles around 12.3–13.3, and it’s obviously meant to sell something we all already know about.

F15a isnt doing anytjing in game but eating fox 3. Not sure why people are ssying fly above the radar spam… thats exactly where iv been killing them.
Flying over mach 1 in the f15a = brick. So in that thin air they are food.
honestly have u ever heard of notching
There is no good way to.play the f15a.
All anyone has to do to.notch that garbage radar is just pount their nose at the floor and chaff.
Its not that deep.
Lock jet . He dives away= radar loses lock. Missile misses.
Sparrow Ms using other jets- can get a relock but no chance with f15a as no HMD.
F15a is fine at 12.7. I still.wont be using it
No other jet at 12.7 with AIM-7Ms has HMD
And only really one of them has a better radar (Not by much)
You are just unable to use the F-15A correctly
You are just bad
Just tested APG-63 PSP and AWG-9 in close combat and APG-63 was well better
As full aspect PD is much better then only PDV

Nobody, except you, brought up real life.
This is air RB. Not 1v1 duels.
It absolutely does. The F-15 has a strictly better missile loadout and a better FM
Its extremely important in air rb to avoid getting third partied.
Nobody referenced statcards but you.
Yes im just bad… il just keep shooting them down anyway🤣
No other jet i use other than the left to rot f16AJ even has sparrows at 12.7.
12.7 is 27ERs / paywall Ps level. Mig29 for eg doesnt have the best radar but fire at 30km and relock under 20km with HMD works a treat.
So you get 9ms- fair they are OK but f16s exist…
Yeah there was a rush of players trying it out. Then they realized, particularly the f15a, is not that game breaking so they went back to 14.7
Shows its still a very very mid jet

it has a worse radar then the F-15A you know
Both are bad, but the mig29 has datalink so it can always relock later. F15 loses radar lock and that sparrow is dead in the air

Exactly! You got it. It neither is a 1v1 BFM nor real life.
Mirage has no issues.
HMD makes up for it, especially combined with god tier 27s
