Call me naive if you want, I rather stand with my point than this weird hypocrisy of advocating for compression instead.
The Kfir C.10 is faster and more agile than the F-15A, and also has better radar.
Keyword, American. There’s only two other American airframes at this BR, F-16 and F/A-18, and both are better.
F/A-18 fm is worse lol what are we even saying. Thing doesn’t even go past mach 1 unless at contrail altitude in a straight line. C.10 is not faster, it only pulls more AoA for being a delta wing. Its a 3rd gen airframe, like are we fr?
more agile?
it’s a 3rd gen flight model. There’s no way in hell it is more agile than the F-15 which is known as the best aircraft of its time.
?
Only the F-16A’s (block 10) flight model is better
Like sure it can be argued the F-15A’s fm isn’t best for low speed dogfights… until you realize its 16v16, where the whole point is maintaining speed to defend, not bleeding it until you’re dry.
Though those jets, while having less missiles, they’re much more functional with either ARH or IOG+DL (AIM-120/54/R-27ER/R-73s/PL-12s/etc). Half of the F-15s kit depends ENTIRELY on the radar’s illumination, which saying that is just unreliable it’s closer to flattery than saying the whole truth.
Both of them have ARH missiles, the moment you have a tech advantage gap, you don’t need to do much else beyond just lock and keep DL long enough so it goes pitbull.
It is still strictly a decent amount on the infamous “support jet” role.
does that make the aircraft good for 16v16? No.
the F-5 is terrible in both 16v16 and 1v1 scenarios.
There is literally nothing that makes it better
-
2 ERs is not better than 4 7Ms lol. Once you fire 2 ERs, you’re stuck with R-60s. And 73s in general are worse for 16v16 bc most shots in 16v16 are side aspects, not rear aspect (which is important for fov IRCCM) the whole “half of F-15 kit is radar” is off, when some planes have as high as 3/4s (F-18C Earlies)
-
ARH missiles mounted on either a) the least defensive supersonic flight model in the game or b) a subsonic barely mach 0.9 capable. On the latter it also means your 120s have inherently less range than the 15’s 7Ms or even the hornets’ 7Ps.
Another jet that should be recompressed then.
It really is that simple. Storm in a glass of water.
Harrier is subsonic… means the AIM-120 has crap range and the harrier can’t dictate fights. It simply has no choice but to try its best to take the punch.
Tornado has excellent firepower for the br, but the flight model is so bricky that it can’t survive an enemy that doesn’t die to its first one or two missiles.
Let alone a dogfight
It literally is and I’m not reading your hyper rationalization to justify bs.
In a 16v16, they’re funcionally and tactically better missiles than SARH, end of story.
Its crazy that in the great compression of 2026, people are suggesting we should compress it further. That’s when I know they’ve lost it.
ah yes, in 16v16, TWO derbies somehow beats having FOUR or SIX sparrows. We can’t be fr.
Keep yelling for decompression, Gaijin will do it when they please, not when you or we want to.
Ironically, the only thing they seem to hear is recompression.
2ERs is terrible for 16v16.
You only have two good chances to get kills, if a single enemy knows how to defend the R-27ER is dead in the water.
You do not have any Fox-3s to waste on meh shots
F-15 has that luxury.
Ah yes, we know the game sucks rn so we will just ask for it to be worse.
People like you are the main problem why the game is in this garbage state at 13.0
That mentality only serves to make the game worse and worse
Turns out they agree with you about making this game a more compressed hellhole. Idk why you’re even using the term “recompression”. It’s like calling shit “poop”. It’s not any better just because you’re using a different word.
Me when I don’t abuse the HMS mechanic to keep it locked while avoiding the enemy’s chaff:
ahh, yes, the luxury of having more missile for a mediocre radar.
me when I can just prenotch the enemy’s radar so his missile is trash:
