9Ms too
I got the impression he wasnt stock.
I’m working to get those, I’m getting the wings repair so I can unlock rank four in the modification tab 😀

You are the hypocrite who’s caught between saying the F-15 is better cause faster, and saying speed doesn’t matter so the Kfir is actually worse.
At this point, I’m convinced you tried to dogfight an F-15A in an F-111F, lost, and now eternally think the F-15A is OP.
Both are only good as long as your target doesn’t see you or doesn’t have any flares left.
I said Limas are a hit or miss for reason, They will and can ignore flares sometimes, and sometimes they go for flares like an insect to light and besides, if the F/A-18A was actually good, I’m pretty sure it would be more common than the American and Swiss F/A-18C Earlys and I don’t think any sane and smart person would say the F/A-18A is superior to the F-15A. The F-15A is superior to the Hornet in almost all aspects. If you really want to compare another American Jet to the Eagle, use the F-14A, not the F/A-18A.
The Kfir is worse than the F-15A, because it’s a fuel guzzling machine using a derivative of the F-4’s J79 and it only gets 36 countermeasures. You can only carry 4 missiles at a time and the Kfir is missing a lot of its Air to Ground Arsenal
That’s true. If I had to guess, part of the reason people think Aim-9Ms are so strong is cause they’re conflicting Warthunder IR tracking jank with actual IR resistance.
It’s not a prem though.
The F/A-18A will beat the F-15A in pretty much every 1v1 scenario.
Now, I will admit that the F-15A does have some advantages in the 16v16 furball layout of matches, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a stronger plane, or deserving of a higher BR.
F-14 is kinda cheeks though.
The Kfir C.10 does not match that description at all.
You are comparing a modern variant of a 3rd generation design aircraft to the F-15A which saw combat in Vietnam.
No they aren’t. I have witnessed the Tomcat’s before hand. The F-14A is one of the lowest BR aircraft with FOX-3s. I have seen a lot more F-14A/B/D/AMs than the early legacy Hornet. The F-14A doesn’t have get into dogfights when they can sit back and launch AIM-54As. The F-14s are also nimble for its giant size, people are being MiG-29s and SU-27/30s in a turn fight
I’m comparing two planes at similar BRs which were the same BR not too long ago.
The F-15A can stay at 12.7, AIM-9Ms + AIM-7M is reasonable for it to be at 12.7, the only issue is the BR compression
The Kfir C.10 is 13.0 and has been since launch
It shouldn’t have moved down in the first place imo, but people have definitely been overreacting on its BR decrease.
It got moved to 13.3 in ARB recently.
The F-15A/J is balanced as it should be, its BR placement is good. 12.7 is good, 13.0 is where FOX-3s start appearing, just because it can face BRs up to 13.7 doesn’t mean it’s imbalanced. The F-15A/J has no business being higher than 12.7 where it would get shadowed by the SU-30s and F-14D premiums. It also won’t fare well against those BR ranges anyway without FOX-3s
F-15 is better because it has more benefits to the airframe than just speed.
Kfir C.10’s one and only strong suit in the flight performance department is that it’s kinda quick.
It won’t
Worse flight model, less countermeasures, less missiles and worse IR missiles.
You have no evidence to show that the F-18A has a better flight model than the F-15A
It’s 13.3
F-15A is a better 13.0 than both F-14B and D
I was tired and wanted this to be done with. But in some aspects, yes the F-15A is better than the Bombcat and the Super Tomcat. The two F-14s are good air superiority fighters with 4 AIM-9Ms and 6 7Ms or 6 54Cs (and 54C+s). The Tomcats can hang around a little longer but very much a larger aircraft. The F-14s are only better in an air to ground role, amount if countermeasures and almost double the amount of A2A missiles compared to the F-15A but the F-15A is better in Maneuverability, agility, and being very fast. The Tomcats is somewhat better or on par with the F-15A at altitude. The F-14B and F-14D both gets BOLs so it can notch for a longer period of time.
Both are great Aircraft but it depends on the Pilot and how the two aircraft Family is compared. One was built to protect US carriers from the Soviet Bombers and the other was built to dominate the skies. The Tomcat mainly retired because of politics favoring the Super Hornet and the F-15 is now a strike aircraft because of politics favoring the F-22A Raptor. Both are great and should be compared instead of comparing the F-15A to the F/A-18A. The F-15A should stay at 12.7, don’t want it to be facing 14.0s in a full uptier and full downtiers in the F-15A is kinda rare, I only gotten two downtiers the entirety time I have been playing the Baz.
I don’t have the C.10 so I don’t know the BR but now I know :)
F-15A should go back to 13.0 and we need massive br decompression
F-15A is much better than any 12.7 and a good couple of 13.0 aircraft
