it is currently in reality the undisputed king of flight performance
Average energy state of an F15 at any moment is FAR higher than an ICE. If you firewall the throttle of both the Eagle is far faster so, still more energy.
Its of course very much possible for the energy of an ICE to equal or exceed that of an Eagle but on most occasions it wont be.
Hence, an AMRAAM fired from an ICE will, on average, have less energy than one fired from an Eagle
The thing is, however, that there are significant diminishing returns once you reach a certain point. The F-15C is able to be react very quickly, even if not as quickly as a Typhoon, and thus the difference in effect isn’t massive. The only time the flight performance difference will make a large difference is during a dogfight, which almost never happens at top tier.
then it’s the pilot’s job to make sure their Phantom has more energy than the F-15 it engages
just flank and you get that advantage
yeah people dont seem to realise that you are almost never get in dog fights at top tier

I’ve seen a CR.42 beat an F-14, yeah, once they get there, they’ll win.
How are we still arguing about planes not in the game? At least wait for it’s dev blog and in terms of fussing about armament wait for what Gaijin says

How we’re doing it is with our fingers on our keyboards. Why we’re doing it, however, is a whole other kettle of fish.

You must be playing a different top tier than I am. I see dogfights all the time…
well the wait gets boring quicky
but everyone here is still actively waiting to be here the moment the blogs arrive
I don’t play top tier much, however when I do, usually people engage no closer than four kilometres, which isn’t close enough for a dog fight.
But it IS close enough where flight performance definitely matters
I mean kinda? with the release of fox 3s I haven’t really gotten into a dog fight at top tier, because if you do, even if you win it will probably leave you slow and slow planes die
