there are so many blatantly bad BR choices and premium-biased vehicles it’s unreal, didn’t remember him
i dont know how to quote what you said on here, im new to this, so bear with me. But my point is with it being able to compete is that just because it can, doesnt mean it should be 14.7. A 13.7 could compete with many 14.0 aircraft, but its obviously not placed at the same br due to obvious competitive disadvantages. It is literally no different than with the GE and other 14.7. There is blatantly obvious competitive disadvantages, thats not even a debate.
And then you said " 1. Not hard to turn in, fire, notch again
2. Of course it is. Bait them into firing, refer to #1
3. If you’re letting them get that close you’ve already lost. You know the F-15 is a boat so why allow a merge?"
Believe me, I know how to play the f15GE better than most people in my opinion, you can look at my stats. I know how to do number 1. And im well aware of number 3. but this is not what im talking about, in air rb it is obvious that at some point there is going to be another plane that will be able to get within 10 miles of you whether they came from below you or from your side, it will eventually happen. Plus the best way to play the f15ge is to fly high and fast, so players will sneak up on you its just apart of the game lets not pretend its completely preventable. But if they are within 10 miles and if they put you on the defensive, and keep pressuring you, you have no choice but to notch, and when the other player is on the offensive, this means they are heading in your general direction, which means they are closing the distance on you. And you cant do anything because 1. you cant really turn in and fire without major risk of getting slammed, and 2. even if you could pull in to shoot the 120d cant pull hard and doesn’t usually have a good chance of hitting because it has a hard time getting eyes on the target. This is how they merge, and its not as easily preventable as you make it sound. its not like both planes just fly parallel all the time.
So somehow your contradicting you own argument by saying “just stay defensive and conserve your missiles” while also arguing “how are you letting planes get close”??? it can only be one or the other, and the f15ge cant fire from the notch, and if your close enough you cant outrun a missile. and it is sometimes risky to pull out of the notch to fire a missile because if you are getting constantly pressured close range than there is nothing you can do and then it will be wraps when they merge and shoot a side aspect ir missile, and even if you dodge that, your in a dogfight which the f15 will not win ever. But please keep in my mind that im talking about within visual range here, not anything with bvr jousting, that is a different story. So please take my word and consider that i know what im talking about, because i do.
There is a obvious disadvantage with the GE in close range combat, and yes, its meant to BVR but notching is extremely effective, so when bvr doesnt work on certain players, then close range combat is inevitable, this is true for any plane. And this is where the massive competitive disadvantages are clearly shown from the GE and other 14.7. Its actually almost a comically bad disadvantage. But who knows, maybe im looking at how to guage br placements the wrong way, maybe its more of a stat thing than an actual physical disadvantage thing idk. Its honestly a weird plane to talk about because it would be the worst 14.7 but its the best 14.3.

Even with a lock for the whole flight those missiles are worse at hitting than sparrow/skyflash
Hello I was wondering for the next update if Russia is going to keep getting top tier stuff or other nations like germany will get stuff too (that’s not locked behind a paywall)

They can have it in Germany (: no need for 1 country to have a Abrams leopards challengers t72s and t90s and whatever else the Commonwealth wants to add
Such an idea is beautiful. Hopefully it happens sooner then later.

Well at least we don’t have any of the Canadian leopards in britan so far. I feel that would be incredibly stupid of them no nation needs that many top tier mbts
Errrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmm,
Let me think,
‘Looks down at a piece of paper’
You know I don’t think gaijin cares

Unfortunately I still don’t think it should ever happen it’s a stupid idea
Chally, sep v3 and 2a6m in the same line up is a dream that can be achieve. 🤤
Oh god cant wait.
Also canadian fa18c in the tech tree wouldn’t hurt

And we can hope that never happens because that’s a stupid idea for balance and any uniqueness for the trees.
I mean we already have their top tier jet and SPAA, wouldn’t hurt to get their top MBT for a nice family group hug lol

I mean I don’t think it’ll happen unless they make Canada apart of the official sub tree but so far that hasn’t happened so they would still be in Germany
Sadly people don’t understand the half of representation is the ability to make a line-up of that nations stuff.
If your not a host nation you should be fine seeing your nations stuff sold to you at $100 each, well you MBTs are blown up by your SPAA, Aircraft, IFVs etc. that they served with because it’s in a different tree then the test.
Or historically important vehicles should become one-off prototype just because it’s not the most unique variant. All because it clashes with the host
