The F-15E offered an acceleration boost to the F-15C while reducing energy retention from the added weight of fuel and airframe, along with a drag nerf.
The F-15E can do exactly one tactic slightly better: Hyper-aggressive climb at the beginning of the match.
After that the playstyle is an ever so slightly worse F-15C.
It warranted a impromptu BR increase from the devs to become the only 14.0, I think that counts as meta shifting
Man i can’t wait for the hornet hordes, ill take out my ICE and have some fun.
More that skilled players jumped to the F-15E before the rest of the playerbase.
So what you’re saying is, it improved upon the meta the F-15C defined?
Yeah but i suspect they’ll drop the BR to 12.7 pretty quick, or more likely decompress to 14.3 considering the premium nature of the f18.
Aww hell naw, one of the presenters ain’t bald, i can’t watch the dev stream

If the F/A-18C is 14.0, there definitely should be decompression to 14.3 to raise the better jets like the Typhoon.
They should decompress anyway, regardless of the F/A-18C
Anyways, go watch the stream
