So… no F14A late or F14D?
Really Gaijin.
They can still be in the update
Cmon, US gets 9 top tier jets, recently got the BEST top tier jet, and it’s not enough?

It’s the nonsense order top tier US jets are being added to the game. At least 2 variants for 5 other airframes are released before even one Hornet, Legacy or Super.
The F-15E could’ve and should’ve been held back, but Gaijin decided to send it anyway and now have to fix what they did to top tier.

Concern about DOA is valid, but what does this say about WT balancing system? If it was working properly nothing would ever be DOA because they’d fit right into their appropriate BR brackets irrespective of what the top tier vehicles are at the time

F-15E is in no way an equivalent to F-15C, it is far superior.
yeah, the F-15E and F-15C have some insane differences, almost doesn’t even feel like the same jet

if that economy bullshit goes through gaijin is going to have a BAD time
@magikvfx
Literally the same top speed [for now] due to the drag nerfs, same weapons, same flares, similarly powerful radar.
The ONLY notable differences is the F-15E turns worse than a Mig-29SMT and accelerates to altitude ~14% faster than the F-15C. A gain in speed for worse instantaneous and sustained.
Like F-104G vs Mig-21Bis.
F-14A Late? What’s that going to add? Where is it going to fit? The answer is they never planned to add a late variant, the “early” was just so they could limit its weapons
F-15E/I has more cm’s iirc
Dogfights at top tier are gone unless forced
The speed gain is MORE than worth it
I’d say its way better, could be placebo though
The F-15E is not insanely strong because of its top speed
The F-15E is not insanely strong because of its avionics and weapons.
yeah, if you are dumb enough to get involved in one when you can just simply choose to leave any engagement before it gets to that
Luckily, its climb rate (not that 14% is insignificant at all) is not why it is extremely strong.
then what is it
I’m waiting for him to mention it because he didn’t on purpose seemingly.
ah
F-15C and E both have 240 countermeasures, or 60 large [>120 standard equivalent] and 120 standard.
Which the F-15C shares. F-15C was already the fastest time to climb AMRAAM jet prior to F-15E’s addition.
Was it the F-15I then? I remember taking 60 flares and 300 chaff
I addressed acceleration in the post you screenshot.
Acceleration, much like with F-104G over Mig-21Bis, is the only thing F-15E has over F-15C for a major hit in instantaneous turn rate.
Like yeah, the F-15E can turn, it’s just a bus in the turn.
And while it’s enough to defeat ARHs, it’s a narrower window than other jets.
