And you would know this from what experience playing the other F-15s?
Sounds like a skill issue on the EFT part.
Also it has 2 more ARH missiles than the EFT, hardly a significantly larger payload.
Holy cope.

Oh I thought it was I knew the R-74 isn’t but I did think the R-73M was
You really think Gaijin would let the chance slip to milk another top tier Hornet variant.
The F-15C GE’s whole thing is that it’s supposed to be a plane for the US to counter the current 14.3s while it’s mostly just meh. They’ll do the same with the Super Hornet.
Those 2 extra missiles a superior Radar and improved flight performance along with BOL pods and the potential to add the additional rails (the bug reports are out)
I genuinely believe Typhoon falls behind, if we had smaller team sizes but we don’t and Typhoon flies fast and turns well but it bleeds a tonne of energy.
In terms of meta the Rafale is king and then it’s close between the Typhoon and Su-30SM.
These jets can just beat a Typhoon down while you spend most of the time trying to get the Radar to work…
I mean F-18C is the same BR as the MLU so yeah i think it could be 14.0

I cant wait for the even slower subsonic strike aircraft with a really good self defence loadout (superhornet)
Maybe they will add it in a naval focused update with all the other submarines.
What???
It’s the same as the F-15C MSIP in terms of flight performance, a 13.7-14.0 plane. Which is worse than the F-15E in terms of BVR flight performance.
A bug report to improve the flight performance of all F-15Cs (at least, but maybe also As) was made and accepted, but wasn’t implemented (yet) as far as I know.
Bad EFT players will fall behind, the EFT still holds a lot of cards in BVR.

Which has good performance and is lighter than the F-15E, talking one of the Meta jets and now it gets an AESA, the fm was tweaked to allow F-15s to pull harder and BOL pods
The Radar is so important it means your shots are not wasted as the track hasn’t updated in time…
Something Typhoon struggles with all the time…the missile has to expend more energy trying to find the thing.
As I said, fast yes, can turn well also yes, sexy to look at very yes. But Radar is garbage, missiles are sub optimal for the meta and yes you will get some kills in BVR when it gets closer range you don’t have the tools.
tell me you never flew a f-15 in WI without telling me you never flew a F-15 in WT
maybe you should get another nation and then you might see that it isnt all sunshine and rainbows simply becasue it isnt britain
You mean the F-15 that dominated the Meta and then Gaijin added the F-15E which then dominated and finally added the Eurocanards to change the Meta?
so the eurocanards completly destroyed the F-15C and F-15E
so tell me
how is a F-15C with BOL and a better radar supposed to change that (it will not)

Source? I know about the bug report but I haven’t seen it implemented.
Yeah for 13.7-14.0 where there are no EFTs and Rafales lol.
I’m excited for the F-15C GE, but if an EFT player struggles against it that is a skill issue.
honestly single nation mains are so anoying they think they know it all
(their nation suffers the most because gaijin hates them)
and everyone else has always better stuff

honestly I would love more experimental aircraft get the Yak-141 treatment, tell me it would not be fun to fly the F-104G CCV or the X-62 (thurst vectoring F-16) or the X-31, maybe even the prototype A-6 that had tilting tailpipes for short take off
What being a Challenger player does to a person
(Its not even that bad)
They are adding a new version of the F-15 the report has been accepted there is a high chance it gets implemented (if not then sure another reason why this F-15 sucks I guess)
Ron you fund me buddy and I will unlock all the tech trees ;)
I imagine my favourite will be somewhere between Russian CAS and German ground vehicles
the same argument can be made for the Rafale which realistically we should have come with an earlier version with out AESA

I wish I had the faith in Gaijin that you have.
I don’t expect it for a while, hell we will have to wait and see if the radar even gets somewhat more implemented.

Only reason the F-15E was good in the first place was the those cracked engines, when the rafale and E2K came out the F-15Es engine advantage went out the window. With the new F-15 GE it’s gonna have worse engine output and the only redamble feature will be the radar on it, other than that it’s gonna be the weakest 14.3 when it comes in its current state
