AMRAHMs and in the case of Typhoon 2x AIM-9s as well.
Welcome to 2x 17,000kgf engines on F-15E producing the most amount of total thrust of any aircraft in WT.
don’t the engines on su-34 and su-27sm push out more total thrust?
speaking of BOL, F-15C and almost certainly the E should be able to carry them ingame
also, if the rafale gets its RBE2-AA AESA radar, with 8x ARH payload, why shouldnt the F-15C get its AN/APG-63v3?
No, the Saturn engine is PW-220 equivalent.
Rafale doesn’t have 8x AIM-120s, it gets the inferior range MICA EM so it’s more of a WVR aircraft.
Prove that F-15C can use MICA EMs, and F-15C with only MICA EMs and no AIM-120s could get AESA, but not one with AIM-120s.
Either way that’s not the F-15s we have in-game.
didnt they get more powerful engines than base Su-27, like F-15E got more powerful engines than F-15A?
id say the saturns on the Su-27SM and Su-34 are counterparts to the PW-229, they output more thrust anyways
fair point about rafale and MICA vs AIM-120, however the F-15C is not suitable for WVR against stuff like EFT and rafale, increased BVR capacity is the best way to keep it competitive in the future, and it is the doctrine it was made for
maybe we will see them by june, with the F-2 as well
They’re still Saturns. It’s a marginal increase that lets the Su-27SM time to climb like an F-15C, that’s it.
Again, if you’re in air RB you shouldn’t be dogfighting in ANY jet, not even Typhoon. That’s how you die to a third party, even in Typhoon.
All I’m saying is F-15C/E are perfectly fine, cause they are. They are historically accurate and their performance is balanced for 14.0.
could say the same about 15E engines, they are still F100-PW-XXX
yeah, currently i agree they are fine, but in future AESA probably necessary for F-15’s
False
1- That was done prior to the nerfs.
2- They changed F-15E again since I tested and it goes faster again.
Sorry to report that no, the F-15E, with CFTs is not faster, it redlines slightly below the rated airspeed that Percussion Cap posted.
