Not that is an offense to anyone but america was also n still is one of the bigger nations and usually people playing it arent exactly the greatest. Either way, i think the F-15E isnt really so much dead at 14.0
With rank 9 coming in future, ofc the BR being upped likely, it staying at 14.0 will maing it more viable with decompression. It was really good for a while, and they have tried helping with its compression at high speeds.
You can look up my stats, sim or RB wise on either 30sm/30sm2
But like most of us wish that we could turn it off lmao. It just bleeds speed. And the best flanker would still have to be very light to make use of engines, otherwise engines cant save the insane weight in an instantaneous turn, sustained it just brings us upto the level of su27sm, which any eurocanard jet should be able to mog anyway.
R-73s are the saving grace but you need the guy not knowing how to flare which( is just turning into missile and flare over the engine from the aspect of where the missile is coming from)
Worst part is thrust vectoring kicking at high altitudes where your true air speed or IAS is usually 750-900kmh, and thats where it kicks in.
You end up bleeding your entire mach speed lol.
The jet is still very much a missile bus, like how the F-15E was at 14.0 release.
Sooner or later with decompression the F-15E will be better, rank 9 should move up the 30sm2 into rank 9 and away from 14.0s.
In a downtier F-15E is still decent when not uptiered. Like any jet at 14.0 imo.
It’s not really russian bias.
They have messed enough Russian vehicles/equipment anyway.
It’s just they go with fanservice in mind (money) and not really balance…
They may give you something OP now…and start nerfing it to even unrealistic levels anyway and it will be crap tomorrow, but they won’t update armament/ or BRs significantly enough to make it balance.
Plus the fact the game needs decompression and a dynamic BR in loadouts, because you may see the same plane in 2000 state and in 2026 state, and weapons from 2000 to 2026 are changed TOO much in effectiveness…
Yes but SM2 is 14.3, and it’s a 2025 plane, while F15E in game is the early 2000s version without AESA. That’s why I said if you want decent gameplay and KD, you should launch all 8 AIM 120C in the initial salvo and RTB, at least your climbrate and speed is unmatched in game. Staying in the 14.3 battlefield longer than that means your bad SA will certainly cause you dead. I’m now flying more F15C GE and still, only launch two salvos and not staying longer than that, avoid close quarter combat at all cost.
Except that it is matched and outdone in climbrate, the SM2, and most AESA eurofighters outdo it and the rafale can almost match it, while all of them have significantly better radars for BVR and turn rates for notching
Bruh
They do, missiles are always in consideration in top tier since guns are basically a last ditch effort. The F15Es horrific instant turn rate, especially at high speed and low altitude make it basically useless as a dogfighter aside from boom and zoom, ehich the SM2 can just pull a 90 degree turn in a good half second and sling an R73, assuming it doesnt win the headon with significantly better radar tracking and missiles
The SM2 and euro both have higher thrust than the F15E
And are at a higher BR
.3 br is a nonexistant difference. Its like saying the BMPT is balanced now because gaijin made it 10.7 when it would get uptiered to 10.7 before anyways
I remember last time I saw an SEP chart F15E is above EF and Rafale is the third, can’t believe SM2 is that good. My personal experience is that SM2 energy is lower than F15C.
