It can eat those in tail chase. If the flanker lowers the speed F15 is in a very dangerous spot. And in this case there is no way of escaping the so called ‘stupid situations’ because the Cobra button can just force u into one with nothing u can do.
the F15 rates more, has better retention over all, it performs better than the su27SM in flight charactaristics other than instantanious turning AKA AoA , the SU30 in game has weaker engines and is heavier than the su27SM last I checked. that or its missing a chunk of its lift.
I’ve yet again to see an F15E or C for that matter lose out on the dogfight with a su27Sm .
The Su30 I did state its more closer however the F15’s hold the advantage.
The weird nozzles throw me off. It’s supposed to make me more manoeuvrable, yet I constantly get stuck halfway into my spin. And let’s not mention sitting in the targeting pod too long causes the plane to just start falling.
Core difference though is that virtually all BOL carriers have 32-80 internal CMs with BOL ontop.
F-15 could have 240 internal + BOL, that is a lot of CMs and whilst yes, if they fixed BOL and limited the F15 to just 2x BOL. Something like the Gripen C would still have more CMs, but it does also have multiple notable weaknesses.
Honestly, I cant say either way whether or not the F-15s should get BOL or not. F-18C perhaps should get at least 2. But they are rather possesive about loadout options. Was a fight and a half to get BOL on the GR4
and later strike/all advanced eagles have 360 internal, and with the US advanced eagles they should be able to carry BOL on the outer pylons for a total of 8 BOL
Its a Tornado IDS, what is already considered a reasonably weak 11.3 aircraft. At 12.3. Its carried by its CM count, it has nearly nothing else going for it
