When was I comparing a modern F-15I to an 80s F-15E?
What’s the issue with comparing them to the most modern F-15E, your post suggests that you think otherwise
I’ve wanted both planes to be equal from the start, I don’t want either to be drastically better than the other, yet it seems many israeli mains were totally against the F-15E getting the 229s. I was even fine with Israel getting mavericks when people brought that up, I’d be cool with it being a little unrealistic as long as both planes were equally enjoyable
I wasn’t referring to an 80s variant F-15E, I have no clue how you could get that impression from this
I can only recall 1 or 2 hardcore followers of this narrative but a majority of us Israeli players want an equality between these two, through historic means (f-15E gets it’s engines, F-15I keeps it’s CMs and gets access to a F&F powered missile/bomb)
There was a few more than 2, but that’s fine. I’m all for the F-15I getting a fire and forget weapon as I’ve said multiple times
Never said it was every Israeli player but there was a bit of them which were getting pretty annoying and saying that “us mains are crying as usual” or something along those lines. Brought up this example before but when the Israeli F-15C didn’t get it’s hmd and tws, you didn’t see any us mains rubbing it in their faces

And when the Meshupar finally got it’s better radar you didn’t see a single us main complaining about that
Not even comparable, the Meshupar was horrendous at top tier, easily one of the worst before the buff, the F-15E with old engines would still of been top 5 aircraft in the Meta, if any american mains whined about making an aircraft Playable then i would genuinely crash out
I think it’s pretty comparable, they tried giving us a gimped version of our plane for a completely nonsense reason, the reason the Meshupar didn’t get it’s radar was because gaijin lacked the evidence for it (I have no idea why they would think it had the F-15A radar)
That’s because they mostly assumed it was a copy paste of the F-15C (like it’s designated in game) instead of what it actually is, which is the F-15A-2000 (I-baz)
You are saying that an aircraft without the TWO MAIN FACTORS that allow an aircraft to perform well in fox-3 slinging top tier, being TWS and HMD is anywhere near comparable to an aircraft missing a couple thousand pounds of force, while remaining superior in every other factor to it’s counterpart, simply suggests you are out of touch gng
I think the F-15E situation was worse imo, much worse engine and less cm than the F-15I, only argument that was even slightly feasible was that “The F-15E is better at ground battles because of the mavericks” But the Meshupar was basically just an F-15C with a worse radar, it still had arguably the best flight model and the best missiles at top tier
No DL :Skull: No TWS :skull No HMD :skull:
The Meshupar was not as bad as you’re making it out to be, it certainly was worse than the F-15C but it was still usable, climb to 10km then lock and fire your 8 amraams and rtb
Did you play it at all during the nerfed period, doubt it
it had no DL links, you could only fire your AMRAAMS within 16km
I’m gonna be 100% honest when I say I don’t think dl makes a massive difference, I do very well using the Su-27SM even when it only has 2 DL channels iirc
That’s literally not true lol, you could fire them as far as you want but the missile would use ins to reach the target, instead of being updated til it reached 16km
because you can still guide a missile from it’s peak range, without DL trying to perform the META is literally impossible, you are left with 2 choices, play passively or groundhug, without HMD…
