You were defending a missile shot at your teammate for half of that just so you know
How do I tell apart missiles going at me and going at teammates?
If your teammate is is front of you it’s most likely going to him anyways. I recommend losing altitude quick to figure out if it’s really doing for you. If it is, notch and chaff, but most of the time it’ll be going for your teammate in that situation.
So if i loose altitude and i stop getting pinged it should be going for a teammate, but if it continiues its for me?

yup
Dude I just got the AESA Phoon and only having 2x 120’s is fucking painful. Should really be 4x at least to fill stations 9-12 (I think)

climb at 15 degrees to 5km straight middle
Climb at like 3- 5 degrees for the rest
You only have 2 missiles so just go for it, fire die (try to survive( rinse and repeat) spading the jet as quick as poss is the most important part. This also learns you how to play the most aggressive way. After alot of practise- going middle and surviving every time isn’t an issue
Keep an eye on the NEZ box on the radar and fire at the enemies who look like they are flying towards you as soon as they are near/ in the box
Try to keep targets on radar until the circle disappears
Act as soon as you hear anything on the rwr/ even before as you are so high and fast enemy missiles will be coming in real quick. this will need airbrake in the f15
You will die alot. I learned in the EF and it was still hard. I was 100’s negative at one point lol.

Use the airfield spawn to get extra RP, shoot some ground targets, make sure to die to the enemy to get the 500 rp.
One thing great about US planes is that they have lots of ammo to do ground attacks
I just die over and over to get the RP. As expected if you only have 2 missiles.

yea thats the way
Excellent
Suffer in ARB until you have the GBU-39s + Targeting Pod. Then go into sim and bomb any stationary ground units (that includes enemy airfield SPAA). You might die a lot but the RP can be really great. Earlier today I got a game with 86 ground kils, assorted air AI kills and a lucky PvP kill with about 12 deaths. Got 40k RP for modifications. Unlocked the F-15E just yesterday and have almost spaded it that way.
As a side note, I am kinda in the same boat as you. I made the jump from 11.3 (F-4E) to 14.0 (F-15E) and man, its a different world.
With only 2 AIM-120’s, the fastest way to get RP is playing very defensive, only launch your missiles at high pk targets. take some bombs and knock out a base or two, and gun ground targets.
once you unlock the 120 mod, climb to contrail alt, get as fast as you can. find 1-2 high pk targets and launch on them, then start cranking while maintaining your lock.
hold the lock as long as you can, but notch any missiles coming for you even if you have to drop your lock. Once you beat the missiles headed for you, recommit and find another target and repeat
i notice the f15e is a lot better with the full amraam loadout (Who wouldve thought)
but uptiers are just unplayable
I’m stock grinding the golden eagle right now and had some good matches with 3-4 kills in full up tiers the other day
i just cant do anything, im stuck in a constant notch with 3+ missiles on me
im saving this for later thanks
Not having an AESA at top tier nowadays is really… Interesting
peak compression and gaijin refusing to lower br differences to 0.7 for some reason citing “waiting time concerns” forces non-aesa fighters to deal with their aesa counterparts. Nowadays i observe its extremely tedious and annoying to stock grind, and i thought grb was bad lol
The F-15E is good at getting high and fast, don’t overextend yourself into the no escape zone of the enemy and act as support because your radar is very subpar to deal with uptiers.
Optionally, you can farm ground with gps bombs and a targeting pod.
But I don’t advise you to play this jet right now, above 13.7 uptiers are almost a guarantee, while at 13.7 downtiers are very common. Stick to the 13.7 F-15s and you will have a much better time.
13.3 or 13.7 is a good time right now if you want to avoid 14.7 lobbies. As a consequence 12.7s are getting shafted left and right so avoid that BR like the plague
42-48km launches has worked for me consistently, so I don’t really agree with u on this. Especially as he gets 2 aim120c5’s
Yes, some do including me. The f15e is the reason i think arb is fun sometimes
