Is the FM of F-15 historical or am i doing something wrong? Whenever i turn it loses all of its speed unlike in F-16 it does not and can immediately regain lost speed
F-15 allows you to pull harder, and allows you to bring more fuel.
F-15’s fuel time is identical to that of F-16A’s fuel time.
And you’ll benefit from reducing how much you pull in turns.
which F15
F-15C/C Golden eagle
ahh yea its close but not 1 to 1 F-15C-GE airframe is just overloaded and the engines thrust curves are wrong
So irl should it not lose most of its energy/speed when it turns?
it should bleed less at subsonic speed from what ive heard if the F15C has bad thrust curve below subsonic speeds hence why it suffers below mach
im not expert on the F15 im more a expert on F14s so i would ask general lee or Alvis
Ohk. thanks for the info. If i ever have question on F-14 i now know who to ask
Imo the performance discrepancy that was reported in the GeneralLee report was not as tiny as the devs addressed, it could have easily seen a fix like they did for the Flankers, would have been more fair as well.

If the report is fixed would it bleed less speed while turning?
Probably, since the report target was to also buff the sustained turn, giving it less bleed in turns would have helped for that.
Gad to know that. Hope it gets fixed soon
Yeah F-15 underperforms a bit not crazy but a noticeable amount.
However the F-16 is frankly made up gibberish and it over performs in basically every-way.
F-16 and stall fight shouldn’t even exist in the same sentence yet there are people who can stall fight flanker in the F-16 it’s insane.
