Almost as if the F-15E/I were the main stars of the update
If you’re dying to an r77 at 10km then that’s on you. They fall out of the sky if they have turn.
50-50 chance they hit an afk enemy at 15km.
Is it actually that good? I mean with modern ARH there’s a point where it doesn’t really matter unless you are going really, really fast
Majority of F-15 players don’t understand how to even use them. I’ve lost count to how many times i killed an F-15E goind in a straight line and not even attempting to notch anything.

Isn’t it kind of a brick though? Going that fast + being a strike eagle makes it hard to turn no?
It’s harder to turn with it, that is true, it will loose rate fight even to brick mobiles like Su-27 and maybe even MiG-29SMT (haven’t checked FM changes in a while) but it is still maneverable enough to hit notch in time and then even kinematically defeat any missile. You just don’t have to be oblivious to your surroundings

It turns well enough to notch and all that, just can’t dogfight deltacanards
Well, I’ll try to keep this in mind once I get to it
So are the F-15Es, F-16 C/Ds, all variants of the F/A-18s, and the AV-8Bs getting the LJDAM-ERs or not? Earlier posts seemed mixed on the subject.
18C late is getting them. That’s it for the US afaik
Thing that makes F-15 of any model so good and powerful is the fact that they are in a middle of the road. They can dogfight, just not the best, they can BVR just not the best, and they carry a good quantity of missiles, just not the biggest amount. This allows you to be very flexible and always have a counter (unless it’s Rafale, that thing is jack of all trades master of everything).
What does it beat the Typhoon in? Assuming both have a 6+2 loadout
Looks mostly

If only they added an AESA F-15C to deal with the Rafale
According to Typhoon mains - you have better radar. But apart from that, yeah, maybe Typhoon is also a better aircraft than F-15. Also Typhoon players usually have similar lack of understanding how to play this game, loosing a gun dogfight to a MiG-29SMT in a Typhoon is unexcusable.
In airrb it seems like the difference is basically irrelevant. Might as well be the same plane.
Really not enjoying this 405 error
Typhoon still can hit the notch faster and easier, as well as beating F-15E in a dogfight (not sure about C). But yeah, i personally never afraid of Typhoon players, as well as F-15 ones because those usually have the least skill in the lobby.
Whatever the case j10 supremacy same missile load but the radar is actually good.
So US is #5 top tier assuming nothing other than the Typhoon, Rafale, and F-15I (120 more CM’s) is better than the F-15E.
That’s pretty interesting NGL. I wonder how this would change if we had AESA F-15C with BOL instead
