QA is the direct predecessor, the only difference is EPAWSS
There is also some video out there with F-15C pilots that switched to EX and the way they talked about it makes me think it has roughly F-15C FM with the GE-129 engines
When ge132 in 15ex…
yeah i think it is not to far fetched to say that the F-15a might still be a better dogfighter than the EX
The F-22 would be a solid option, but it lacks in missiles to back it up assuming 9M, and it doesn’t get HMD until the latest versions

I’m fine with no hmd, I had to suffer the grind with no hmd
In game it probably will. And thats without VMAX switch…
Tbh same goed for flankers for example
You’ll be feeling it against MICA/R-73/R-77

that is true, iam still waiting for gaijin to fix the flight model
(reducing high speed STR and increasing lift)
the F-15EX is not only a completely new aircraft, but also many other upgrades over the current Cs and Es, for example, the extra wing hardpoints boosting the max missile load from 8 to speculated 20-22, better RWR, and situational awareness granted by the EPAWS (eagle passive awareness and warning system) effectively giving it 360 degree RWR and MAW as well as its directional jammers (i could go on, this is my tism) but these will slowly replace all the Cs and Es, i mean, if you’ve seen a modern F-15C cockpit they’ve been upograded so much that its common just to see random wires kinda just hanging or ziptied to something due to running out of space as shown in this image, it is not at all a showing of poor managemnt its just showing how much one cockpit can change and what is needed to change it to bring it up to modern standards from entering service between 1976-1979

Hey by the way what about the F-16C block 70? Would it be a good dogfighter?
If so then norespawn will be happy

Shouldnt really change much tbh in comparsion of 35S and 27S for example.
Like… you get more thrust, but also consumption and wing load noticably higher.
uhm iam not to sure, but isnt it even heavier than the BLK50?
and the BLK50 has already worse flight performance than the BLK10
But it got the 129 engine no? Does the blk 50 have that?
Also blk 60 has the 132
that is true…
but i want the flanker to be good at the 1c instead of the 2c, like it is supposed to be
it isnt even a matter of the Su-35 but about the flanker family in general
the blk50 ingame has the 129
issue is that extra weight will reduce ITR which you cant compensate for with a better engine
you cant really make a statment on how it is going to be but i would fully expect both the F-16V and F-15EX to do worse in a dogfight compared to the F-16A and F-15A
