I do multipath and notch I usually dodge all of the enemy missles but it’s annoying that I can’t ever recommit with the f-16 because I get smacked by a Su 30 or euro fighter or rafale who get to spam missles all game. That’s when flying and skill besides to be able to notch and multipath doesn’t matter. I even have freinds who have 3000 hours on this game and used to play top tier who have quit because of how underperforming America is in air rb. I learned from those people and can’t really say it’s a skill issue whenever I can go into a sim match or 1v1 and win almost every time where skill and flying actually matters not who has the better missles and radar.
you’re comparing a 13.7 vehicle to the three best vehicles in the game that are also ranked higher.
Why are you surprised that it’s a hard fight
If I didn’t know how to defend I’d die within the first 2 minutes usually I last but would it be because I’m solos out from anyone in the furball so they see me first?
Right, your performance suggests they are bad teachers
your radar’s performance matters even more in sim than it does in air RB man.
But how can I dominate and win in sim matches where flying and skill matters and good positioning but not in air rb.

This doesn’t look like dominating
Skill and positioning matter in air RB too
I usually have my radar off ngl bc if I do they see me first.
So you’re flying blind. great idea
Much better than my air rb and I think I only played like 6 matches
Helps me get behind them and kill them that way instead of trying to bvr. I just feel like I can’t bvr in any American plane I have.
The ratings for sim are mega skewed because 90% of people there just bomb bases, meaning you can get great looking stats just by killing a couple people

These are not really that great stats realistically, but because it’s sim I’m marked as an “Exceptional Player” due to how bad the average sim player is
I highly suggest trying to get better at the game and building more experience before making a post like this.
It would also greatly help if you were able to provide better arguments than “muh Russian bias” with some proof of what you’re trying to convey.
Your comments regarding Chinese vehicle especially show how little you know, considering how both the J-10C and J-15T are not the greatest aircraft, both being worse than the F-15C GE by far.
AMRAAM is underperforming across the board which affects most nations. Aim-120D holds notable advantages over the Aim-120C5 that several nations still need to use.
PL-12 and PL-12A are underperforming equally to AMRAAM.
They are also present on the F-15C GE, which imo, has pushed it from a strong 14.3 into 14.7 territory.
American use to be easy mode, now it actually takes skill and I dont think American mains like that.
This is the case for many top tier aircraft at the moment, in part its a compression issue, but ultimately its bad gamemode design. But this isnt a case of “US underperforming” as the same can be said for many. I fly the Typhoon and I tend to play defensively early game, and then aggressively mid to late game and perform fine.
with how dominant the F-15C GE is right now, I am very much scared for what the F-15EX will do.
US mains will still somehow be complete ass in that plane as well
Yeah… but they’ll still argue the F-15EX needs to be 14.3 because “reasons”
Basically if the F-15E ingame had AESA + 4 more (total 16)120D. That’s pretty much it
Yes, that will be annoying as hell to fight.
In ARB not really, sim is definitely going to see a spike in USA win rate at top tier tho (this is me coping)
and the only thing really holding back the F-15C GE at the moment is the fact it doesnt get the upgraded engines of the E.
Also its like the EX would get IRST (if/when they get external IRST to work) and potentially a MAWS pod (and I think all-aspect RWR)
Then it also gets the increased AAM count.
Honestly. Euro-Deltas are going to need at least some TLC to keep up (fixing BOL for example)
