How to play F-15E in Air effectively?



F-15E finally after 87 hours of grind.
Now I have a few things to ask.

  1. How to play F-15E in Air effectively(ive ask on academy, got 2 answer-i want more :)
  2. How to play F-15E in Ground
  3. What missiles to use(since C-5 is basically 120A/B, still worth using?)
  4. How to effectively evade other ARH(notch+chaff/multpath, i need to know the core)
  5. How to deal with close range/dogfight missiles/gun fight

Any answer id appreciate.

C-5 should be theoretically better at extremely long range shots, but if im gonna be honest, i havent really noticed any difference to A/B.

By avoiding them in the first place, F-15E stands little chance in dogfight.

How to play F-15E:

Go high up
Turn your radar to TWS
Spam AIM-120s
Return to airfield
Repeat

Do not dog fight, the only thing you can possibly fight is the Su-34 in a dogfight, but even then, why are you dogfighting a Su-34?
Also, you played America. What part of America makes you think you can dogfight. I cannot think of a single good dogfighter in the American tech tree. Even the Corsair (the best dogfighter America has) is insufficient against… well, every other plane.

Climb, always maintain your speed and do not even try to dogfight in it.

I use 50/50 both 120C-5 and 120B. 120C-5 is better at high altitudes and past 40 km (I launch them first at the start of the match), while 120B better at closer ranges.

Also unlock chaff first, because you will not have flares at all due to bug.

Take like 2 C 120s for the first long range shots.

For defending this videos covers everything you would need to know pretty much.

Well that’s the neat part you don’t u use those engine to fly fast and fly high u so u don’t have to dogfight and face ir missiles

If you are sending it beyond 40km c5 but under 40 b is better

Did told you earlier

Well you are not gonna multipath in f15 you don’t fly low at all u fly high so by putting missile at 90 degree dropping chaff and changing directions
Hope it helps

are you going to make a similar post for the F-15A?

F15e for air….

When you are stock you have a definite 2 free kills when you have 2 miles of separation for 9ms.

You can use 9ms on head ons, for me I have a 95% kill rate with headons.

AMRAAMs……

25mile launch is ok for 120c, but, wait for 10…

Lock your radar on target by clicking left alt and F and fire, keep him locked no matter what.

For ground….

Stock grind her first.

Get 6 agm 65ds, 1 counter measure pod, 1sniper pod,
2 aim 120s, 2. 9ms, on the center bay, in-between the countermeasures and targeting pod, get gbu 39s then on whichever side, 2 gbu 62 and 2 gbu 24s on the opposite sides.

The gbu 39s and 62s are meant to be lofted to enemy anti air by gps and waiting for them to kill them, my recommendation is to drop the 39s first then 1 62.

So on radar it’s hard to intercept.

Then use the agms to clear out ground targets away from friendlys, so you don’t get those kills stolen.

That’s how I play it, play it your play after you fiddle around with it.

The f15e can dogfight well, it all comes down to skill though.

F16, any model, f14 any model, f18, any model, f15, any model, f4e, f5 any model, etc.

Oh well yes he is cracked definitely recommended

Yes, but a lot of players just don’t know how to dogfight….

Use this to your advantage, make them make mistakes, use those mistakes to win.
