Don’t pay attention. He knows nothing about the game, he only has this plane at 14.3, he hasn’t flown any others. And all his knowledge is just shouts from this forum.
Overall, I’ve noticed that many people here are the same. Especially the F14D balance.
Man, I’m seriously thinking about getting one. The AIM-9M is something, even if the AIM-7Ps (with datalink) would be way better. If it came with AIM-7Ps, I’d buy it right away.
I can agree, but the F16 is one of the best airframes in the game especially for DF, sure, but I’m not looking at it from just carrying 12 missiles perspective, the F18E is the same way and it carries a few more missiles, the F15 as soon as you get into a merge at 14.3, you lost, it’s a flying brick as soon and you hit the aoa button, you lose every bit of your speed you had, the F16 has amazing energy retention, I haven’t gotten to play the F18 yet
Doing a turn and burn or a 180 degree turn in a F15 below 900 MPH causes you to go down to below 450 MPH, that is awful
You don’t have to waste the extra 6 missiles you can just keep them on your F15 and you’ll just lose quicker in a DF cause you wanted to hold that extra weight
I completely avoid getting into DF at all when I play the F15, it’s not worth it, I’ll just go climb away and try and shoot top down
I mean it adds like 2 and half seconds to turn time with 12 missiles(about .2 seconds per missile), I haven’t played the F18E yet so I can’t really speak on it, but it’s flight performance can’t be that bad
