It’s also just a straight up worse plane than the F-15C GE.
Go ahead and play it, it’ll make you wish you were in the F-15C GE.
(Not that that will ever happen since you are a US main, nation mains love talking about what vehicles from other nations are good and better than their stuff)
Oh it was a nerf, sure.
However it was hardly a meaningful one since the M1 and Leo 2A4 have still been stomping on the T-64B and T-80B ever since.
the m774 BTW can still easily pen a T80B or T64BV, Believe me it only struggles with other NATO MBTs and the absolute frontal arc of a T80B / T72B etc.
while a new round would be nice the tanks BR would increase exponentially.
What do you mean easily? M774 can only pen those tanks through their weakspots which is anything but easy job.
surely Su-27SM was on par/lagged “just slightly” behind F-15E or the Rafale or eurofighter
I would say it’s more of a sidegrade.
J-15T has good TTW, but low CM count.
Su-30SM has low TTW, but good CM count.
I don’t think it’s a hot take to say the J-15T could comfortably sit at 14.3 instead of 14.7 (maybe they can move it up when they add in ECM.).
it really is easy to do man, you can pen through a lot of the turret with the M774 bar the absolute front of it.
As well as the UFP of the T80’s. the addition of the M883 round would put the M1 up at 11.0
You mean the weakspots on turret? Because aside from those point turret itself can stop M774.
I don’t remember M774 can penetrate T-80B’s hull armor relatively easy, unless you’re aiming to specific points.
It’s absolutely laughable that the F-15C GE and Su-30SM/MKM get to sit at 14.3 while the J-15T is 14.7.
I don’t think it’s bias towards or against anything though, I think parts of the balance team are just that disconnected from their own game.
The ONLY reason I can see the J-15T being at 14.7 is the 26km HMD or that Gaijin plans to add ECM soon.
I agree that this is likely their line of thinking.
However they are still flawed in their logic, because other 14.3-14.7 planes will likely get equally strong or possibly even stronger ECM. Which would cancel eachother out and the J-15T will likely be the worst 14.7 again.
I agree for the most part, but I expect the J-15T to have some exceptional ECM, since (to my understanding) most Chinese Flankers primarily rely on ECM as opposed to traditional Countermeasures.
J10C has also the same HMD range, I dont think that is the case.
To be fair, J-15T also has a lot more missiles than the J-10C.
But yeah, I have no clue why it’s 14.7.
Isn’t it carry only 2 more missiles compare to J10C?
Because as far as I know J-15T carries 12 missiles while my J-10C can carry 10.
I’m not sure- I thought the 15T had like 4 extra PL-12s, No?
If not then… I really don’t know why the J-15T is 14.7
14 total, 10 arh with double rails + 4 PL8’s
Oh yea I forgot, this thing is based on Su-33 so it gets access to additional inner pylons.
Combining with double pylons on outside it can carry 10 Fox-3 missiles alongside with 4 Fox-2’s.
So, 2 more Fox 3s and 2 more Fox 2s?
Doesn’t seem worth it for a BR bump.
4 more missiles= 4 more kills in Gaijin’s eyes.
I can see why it sits at 14.7 compare to J10C by using Gaijin’s logic.
Exactly, same can be said for the Abrams sepv2, (Abrams is underperforming specs wise). I understand if the clickbait is underperforming because anybody can get it, but in order to get the sepv2, the player must have some experience with all that grinding.
