Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

They should be with the EFT/rafale, saying they aren’t equals is a joke lol

its only slightly lower F/A-18A has 1.07:1 while euro fighter 1.1:1 which is only slightly better stilll should be able to retain it

agreed

Don’t be ridiculous, everything above 12.3 getting squished down into 12.3 is a great way to balance the game

Spoiler

/s

It is literally not, it’s a multirole aircraft, and the basis for the F-15EX which was definitely build with air superiority in mind

Okay nerf the engines so they cant climb and launch fox 3 then they can be the same BR as the F15C. Otherwise keep them up there. As long as its a contemporary to the EFT it shouldn’t drop below. Unless you just have a skill issue flying the F15E lol

the basis for the EX was the QA

its 20yr older, not contemporary airframe

Its a game its contemporary.

Which itself was a E variant

idk what you mean by this

yeah, and that was based on the SA which was based on the E, but it is all fundamentally the same airframe

no?? its an advanced eagle, it has been refitted with FBW which is apretty major change

based on the SE, which was an E, but thats 3 aircraft away from an F-15EX so thats like its great-grandpa

F15E should be 14.0 as Euro fighters a late 4th gen plane

Its a game first, balance should be the bigger focus, if you want that go play a different game. You’re starting to sound like the players that struggle in an abrams against T-72A no offense. The F15E is perfectly fine as a counter to the EFT. The game has a meta and they both play it. If the game didn’t have the skyclimb launch Fox 3 meta then the F15 would be pretty bad considering the EFT runs circles around the F15E. Additionally we dont have most of the EWS that these newer fighters run so again its balanced for a game logic. It bewilders me how you apparently don’t see that.

not really, the SE was scrapped, the SA was a separate development based on the E and again, it’s all the same airframe.

None of this is particularly relevant to the fact that it’s a strike fighter, not a tactical bomber, the F-117 is a tactical bomber, the F-15E is not that

just say counterpart then, when u say contemporary it mean they are from same time.

also, if EFT radar was fixed it be better than F-15E, just saying. better flight performance, better radar by a bit once fixed, same type of weapon in similar numbers

the F-15E replaced the F-111. it is also designed as a long range interdictor, which is a type of tactical bomber

ingame designations are bad
