One thing I like is the engine, it pushes quite enough from what I could see. (on the F16)
Like, if the GE had 2 of those it would be pretty fast.
You might say “there’s EX for that” but that thing is looking to be one hell of a boat…
The PoBIT and F-15E have the exact same engines lmao.
If you want a F-15 with PoBIT engines that’s it.
The EX is only slightly heavier than the E, but it gets the Block 50 engines, which are slightly better.
Yeah but the Strike eagle is a boat, I want them on the C variant like the Golden Eagle :|
I see this one as a 16 missile monster that turns at mach 10 with the radius of Ohio.

All you can hope for is a FM buff or less Channel loss on the F-15.
Don’t understand why CL is so high, I mean the F-15 intake is massive and pretty straight forward, but eh idk.

Then all US mains will just rip their wings 20 seconds after the game starts.

I think it’s just a balancing decision by gaijin, otherwise F-15E becomes literal rocket ship with better performance than Eurofighters and MiG-25
Like when it launched basically, I remember facing that thing with my humble F4F ICE.
Didn’t last long tho IIRC, and the update after it got touched without consent by Raf and Eurofighter :)
Yeah, i think gaijin calculations are way too wrong to fix F-15E performance in any way outside of just massively nerfing its engines. Also, don’t forget that the CL is just a number for thrust at very specific conditions, looking at the thrust curves on statshark - F-15E has much more thrust at high speed than PoBIT

Btw for the upcoming updates I think Russia will receive MiG-35 either by this next update or the next second major update.
Because winter update will always introduce the “Flagship” fighter jet. Since MiG-35 is not Russia’s flagship fighter jet, it would eventually introduced between these 2 updates.
Su-15 and F-16XL I think would fit more as event vehicle once again. With I think this August event will be for F-16XL since August will always be American event (takin precedent from last year Delta Dart, and 2024 was Persian Tomcat).
A Gaijin “worker” on discord said that russia would receive a “new” jet next update, might be very likely that it is indeed the Su-15.

Even halving it to compensate for the extra engine the F-15E makes more thrust at Tmax.
Considering what they did with the Su-30SM2, they better give AESA to the MiG-35S
Poor SM2, will forever be a topic of jokes about historical accuracy

they should have just added the Su-35

i dont think the SM2 has it
A report to give the SM2 OLS-35 features was shot down already.
So the devs probably don’t think that it sould have it either.
I don’t think that was me, I don’t have any reports on su-30sm2 first. Got some on the radar though
