nah, given the timeframe you’re referring to (July/December), it was contested with its anemic AIM-120A/B. The only advantage the US consistently had were the airframes, and even then, was/is a meta where dogfighting wasn’t and isn’t a godlike asset for the F-15C or even E. If you’re arguing over its thrust, god forbid the US has something to use as an advantage at top tier, as such thrust sacrificed a significant amount of manueverability the F-15A had for example.

Both laughably brief dominances that got eclipsed by balance patches.

VTOL aircraft have always had a hover mode? It was just hidden in the controls.

245

They have had it?

Did they? Whenever I pressed it, it always came up saying it didn’t work for aircraft

247

they had it since a long time but its a different keybind than helicopter hover mode

248

Yeah, again its for stuff like the AV-8s and YAK 141 only and you had to be below ~250 km/h

249

Just never worked for me on the Harrier Gr7 or Shar

250

You can’t hover when your Harrier carries too much fuel and/or armament

251

Yeah, I know. I land all the time in SIM on the carrier. Just the “hover mode” never worked for me so just did it manually. Probably still will.

orig statement wrong not because of that change, but due to fact of F-15J(M) being just completely better.

probably you just cant in sim
in RB it does work(or at least did long time ago)

The F-15E is NOT the best BVR platform. That’s false.
The EFT is significantly more agile and only slightly behind in speed, and you can play MUCH more aggressive than you would do with the Strike Eagle.
While you’re attempting to notch the EFT’s two fox-threes on the flying bus that is the F-15E, it’s already quickly closing the distance to completely murder any chance of you winning the fight.
And the F-15C at 14.0?! What?! That’s nuts.

259

F-15E is the best. Just because you are bad with it doesn’t mean it’s bad.

260

Ah… That might be why.

On the bright side they changed a few minor things on the Shar HUD.

262

welp, that’s another argument circunventing around a fact
