Is the F-15E finally dead?

Its TWS+ I get the same with the Foxhunter and Blue Vixen

As multiple people in this thread have already pointed out. But OP think the F-15E is the only aircraft in game with a bad radar

it is not TWS+

it is all TWS and TWS+ is slightly better than normal TWS

If its TWS+ then why do these aircraft:

F-14 IRIAF
Yak-141
MiG-29SMT
JAS39C
F-5TH TCU
Mirage 2000-5F
F-16C Barak II
F-16D Barak II

All work perfectly fine?

I have nothing with standard TWS to compare on live. But TWS was working fine and then they added TWS+ and it started bugging out.

Maybe its a skill issue with the F-15s radar?

yes, in that update they ruined all TWS, I have said this before and people have said this multiple times

TWS+ is better than TWS, when they added + they nerfed all of them

Feel free to break down the logic behind that answer.

What makes the F-15I radar so difficult to use compared to any other radar I just listed?

Don’t they all have the exact same controls

I really cant agree with this at all. A few aircraft I have with TWS:

JF-17
MiG-29
Su-27
Su-27SM
Mirage 4000
Mirage 2000C-S5

Alll of these aircraft have standard TWS and function much better than the F-15I, but no discernable difference from aircraft that have TWS+

I just checked and TWS+ is more widespread than I thought, so yeah dont really notice too much of a difference between them

What does TWS+ even do though

iirc, it changed the algorithm for the INS tracking.

“An improved TWS mode has been added. In this mode each time after a full scan pattern is completed, scanned targets are matched to already created tracks, which lowers the probability of track switching to another target, which would lead to missile retargeting through data link.”

There are definitely other aircraft with a bad radar, but the F15Es isnt as good as others, and nowhere near good enough for its role as a bvr truck. Ive seen pheonixes hold a better lock on the ARH warhead than the F15E hard locking a target

imo most of the F15Es issues arent even its radar, its the fact that its role is a big engine with good missiles, but every nation gets either the same or better missiles (im ngl AMRAAMS are possibly the worst ARH ing rn) with higher quantity on more maneuverable airframes with ever so barely worse engines which are made up for by the fact that the F-15E loses all of that speed in a slight turn, like it loses speed so badly it cant even notch anymore.

the 120C-5 has so much potential but they barely even bothered modeling it

i saw a video from the update saying its performance was buffed at high speeds, is it really this bad?

i heard the opposite, i heard that it loses speed significantly worse now, and the wr drops go to show it

so real, the Bs are better in some cases from the C-5 just having extra dead weight, thanks gaijin

just tested it and its speed bleed is terrible now, probably not the worst in the game or anything but very bad

do you have the F-106 or A-4? is it on that level?

not as bad as f106, and it seems a bit better than f18c but much worse than it was

the extra pull is nice but the energy loss seems excessive for how much it pulls even more so with how much thrust it should have

at 1km alt starting at ~1000kmh turning 180 degrees resulted in dropping to about ~680kmh

f18c ended around 650kmh but turned faster and had to neg G again

it actually loses similar or more speed than f106 at high speeds but significant less at <~750 khm IAS

tbf it is probably still an improvement because before it would not pull at all above mach 1.1 or so
