Not wasting my time with the F-15C "Golden Eagle"

@Leinadmix9_ツ
F-15E over Su-30SM is faster, better dogfighting, better top speed.
And in the post you can clearly see F-15E has over 0.5 more STR than Rafale, and Typhoon isn’t present but when I tested it it was slightly worse than Rafale’s.

These are with weapons attached, which sadly you can’t simulate on Statshark at this time due to no drag variable input.

Even without weapons, F-15E was on-par with Rafale on Statshark:

Read what Luque says:

This is a reality of the Rafale and Typhoon in BVR.
On paper, and in simulator controls, Rafale and Typhoon are a bit worse than F-15E in sustained turn rate in supersonic speeds, and on-par with F-15JM.

In reality though, air RB uses instructor. And instructor hates delta wings, and hates aircraft that pull hard.

At high altitude your controls are more sensitive which allows Rafale and Typhoon to pull well beyond their sustained turn rates, making them far more difficult to use at high altitude than F-15s.

If you don’t believe me, do it yourself.

And it can’t turn as well, loses more speed in a turn, worse instantaneous turn until super low speed, worse sustained. Does almost nothing better compared to euro

Disagree it feels far more stable more pleasant to fly the Typhoon while yes it can turn tighter (and should) is always twitching the Typhoon lives between wow this is fast (wing rip warning) and oh no i’m out of energy and floundering in the sky.

bro never learned how to read in school

its much worse. aim120b is already a brick insofar as maneuverability off the rails and the aim120c5 straight up doesnt even attempt to turn.

then the amraam got it maneuverability nerfed like 2 months later and then people actually started playing the game with some sense and noticed that dodging fox 3s from range is trivially easy.

and i simply disagree as far as f15e being particularly strong, i was pretty much playing russian top tier solely all the way through firebirds and storm warning, f15es were just yeeting their 120s from 40 and only hitting people afk. su27sm is my favourite 13.7 even now, and once they fixed the double scan bug it got less finnicky to fly.

He just reads what he wants to read.

it was not

mig 29 was much better when they were added

and other countries have consistantly had better f16s (and f15s)(and f18s) than the US

it nearly was

AFAIK, it was exclusive for only two nations when they were added (GER/USSR)

I think F-16A/ADF were great when the [Apex Predators] update landed.
along with other F-16A/ADF owners(Maybe China or Italy atm I think)


We never had F-16 and were forced to face F-16 while playing Tornado GR.1 (Which is 4th-gen ‘strike jet’) or Phantoms (3rd gen)

and never had F-15s

and better F-18s
(Yes, Aussie F-18 has BOL compared to USN F-18 in 14.0, but just for clarification, Aussie F-18 is based on F-18A and has lower thrust than F-18C.)

uhhhh is this just on my client? why did the snail steal the pylons

it has not

mig 29 was significantly better than f16 when they were added

and and every top tier plane the US has gotten since has had an objectively superior version in a different tech tree (except arguable the f16c)

no the best f/a18 however, it gets no bol whilst the finnish one does

downgrade

9M are very poor

migger what???

Since they changed seeker shut off times, before this update dropped they became poor.
Maybe it’s fixed now, but yeah in a meta where you want a missile that can do more than 15-20G they are poor.

they are pretty crap in rear aspect, but rear aspect only, still pretty good in side and occasionally front aspect. and yeah generally pretty powercrept by now.
