I won’t reply your disingenuous questions while you’re continuously trying to frame me as a us main.
So good the F-15E is still better (while reasonably outclassed by the EFT/Rafale) than the brand new F-15C GE for ARB.
Typhoon is pish at high altitudes it’s not even a joke. It floats like it’s on water it also loses so much energy when defending and the instructor has a really twitchy awkward flight profile.
Just flew the The Su-30 premium and that FM is an upgrade over Typhoon in all but acceleration and climb rate.
Then we look at hard factors payload (6ARHM) is a joke for top tier especially when 120s are so easy to defeat and the 9Ms are also very poor.
Radar performance that is lacklustre making those 120 shots harder (with the best result literally being hard locking the target in ACM/HMD mode.
F-15GE will likely get the 12 120s and the FM buff making it joint 2nd best jet for the Meta. Typhoon unfortunately is stuck with 6 average missiles and in any BVR engagement be it a Rafale or even a Su-30 you are likely going to lose or trade at best.

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

holy crap theyre still having us research aim9ls? the mod which LITERALLY adds nothing, and aim7m? really?
AIM-7Ms in big 14.3🥀
not even the Hornets have to bear a non-IOG SARH at that BR range.

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.)

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???
