I’ve still manage to easily beat out EFT and rafales who compete at BVR in the F15E on both the current servers and even the DEV and if its harder to notch it would make it even more effective.
the f22 will just be the current EFT and rafale on steroids so yeah it would obviously do well.
Epawss coverage, is 360 degrees like the rafale if you are curious.
the F15GE could be competitive rn if the devs simply fixed the flight model and added its warning systems and extra missiles, the F15 EX would be very good if the devs added the proper aircraft ( they wont). the only reason the game feels like the f22 is needed is because of how blatantly the devs seem to hate the US player base.
Tho i guess the US wins in the end since this is the best thing Germany, The UK and France are ever gonna get in the game since there’s not better aircraft left for them to get.
I dont think so at all The F15E was already competitive with a nerfed fm 8 missile and no AESA radar, The EX with a full missile loadout would be very good.
None of the 4.5 gens listed there are better than what they already have and the flakers even the later ones with better engines are still miles behind the F-15E and eurocanards in terms of acceleration so there never realy gonna be meta either unless the devs give them next gen missiles but not to everyone else,
and in terms of 5th gen the F-35 is just worse than The F-22 flat out, it gets more modern sensors but the gap in flight performance is massive, and the su-57 might be close in fp to the F-22 but has less missiles internally so wouldn’t be as meta
IMHO, USA is generally worst top tier nation. They have no modern AGM, GBU. Their top planes are the most technically backward among all other nations.
And Gaijin’s approach didn’t start yesterday. They have been steadily receiving garbage for 2-3 years.
I assume that if Gaijin retains their course USA will die as a nation within a couple of years.
Also question for anyone that might be able to point me in the right direction, does anyone know what source was used to determine the radar scan radius for the F15C GE AESA Radar, (AN/APG63(V)3). I am struggling to find any source they could have possibly used to determine is radar scale/range
