Nah man, he’s an expert, he knows better than us and Gaijin

Well yes and no. What actually matters is what you can observe in the game. If the F-15E handles ingame where you’re sitting in the cockpit like how they actually would fly irl, then there’s no problem from the perspective of the developers. Just because some numbers behind the scenes look wrong doesn’t mean the actual flight behavior is wrong.

For example, the Rafale’s installed thrust values is known, but it is ignored because the actual flight performance in-game behaves as it does in real life.

Spoiler

They already configured and tuned the F-15E to sustained turn rate figures, level flight performance, and etc.

notice how I said the stat card could be wrong because as usual I don’t expect that to be right

AFAIK, the statcard is right and showing that there is actually a 22% thrust loss that corresponds to in-game datamine.

The F-15E has its correct engine power. P&W datacards for the 229 engines and subsequently most sources that quote them use bench measured thrust, not installed thrust and not accounting for channel loss. So its engine thrust in game are correct and at full power when the aircraft is in spaded configuration.

Its currently still open. No new news.

then does stat card lie? because minus -20% from what an actual website says doesn’t sound right

Stat cards are not always 100% accurate. You need to actually test the aircraft and check the displayed thrust in X-ray to make a report. Just using the stat card is not an accepted measure. As they may have an error in their display.

Can we expect CM this week?

this or next week maybe smin has said

As I mentioned last week: Next Major Update - Rumor Roundup & Discussion - #2708

TLDR: Its coming, no we currently cannot put a definite date on it as things are still WIP. More likely next week to be safe, but anything is possible.

This week is coming to an end.

test from random players are inaccurate because a bit of ping can ruin the testing

Ping has nothing to do with flight model testing?

test flight is localhost, and the 15E afaik hits all performance metrics according to gaijin anyway
