The OCU should be 13.0, it’s certainly more than 0.3 better than the base F-16A.
You still need a hard lock for them to reliably hit (assuming the target isn’t multipathing), which is difficult to do when the target notches your radar, which isn’t very difficult to do.
Sounds a lot like a Mig-29, if you ignore the fact it has a terrible FM, and useless IR missiles.
Again, I rest my case.
The only real downside the MiG-29 FM truly has is their energy bleed. Other than that, they shouldn’t be played as a turnfighter basically ever, they have more than enough tools to defend themselves both at long, medium and short ranges if positioned correctly— OH, I forgot that was the scapegoat for saying the F-15A is allegedly OP.
Ironic, considering all of the complaining surrounding Russian tanks is because they can’t aim.
February stats are out, BMPT K/D’s and WR have declined significantly.
What I think would balance it out is moving the TT one to 11.7, and possibly reworking what hitting the belts does. Prem one looks to be balanced from stats.
If you hit the belts, it should have a 100% chance to destroy both cannons, the vertical and horizontal drive, the missiles, the autoloader, the FCS/electronic equipment, etc. Basically everything related to the weapons should be nuked.
Spaa mostly sit on spawn so by killing them you can only help your team air which almost never spawns. Tanks, on other hand, can kill your team ground units and cap points. They have much bigger impact on battle result. So having 6 munitions capable of erasing all ground units > having 4 munitions capable of destroying spaa only.
Not really. It takes 1 pantsir with switch radar target bind to delete entire salvo.
Similar situation with HAMMER. Do you have source for this 1.5-2km tho? I like to save these.
Seems like 10.7 is also recovering a little bit.
I suspect that within 1-2 months the FOTM effect will die down completely and everything will be back to normal.
Cause specific nation mains will shoot a god damned T90M in the UFP then cry it doesn’t go through.
The tanks aren’t great tbh, i thoroughly enjoy 11.7 right enough.
Realistically most mains have some critical misunderstanding of other nations.
The issue is if you buff the tanks it leads to easier facilitation of acquiring the good cas.
Same as when T58 dropped.
Or when the german prem heavy cruiser man.
They cycle prems like mad , T80UD was another example of a braindead tank which ruined a bracket.
It was a 10.7 vehicle before tbe reload buff…
And before that the gripens pretty much dominated before a series of nerfs.
The worst days it seen were at 13.0 when all the Arh missile holding planes were dropped.
As most if all planes without access to ARH are ar a massive disadvantage for the most part.
Serious for what ? At 12.7 the F15 is under BRd leading to what we need being more decompressing not more.
Yet the F15A has a better Flight model, characteristics, 4 x irccm missiles , more counter measures, better radar, * the literal only way the mig29 is better is the r27er*
That doesn’t mean move the mig29 but jesus decompressioj is need to at least 15.3
That argument also avours the F15A if you positiom the eagle correctly it’s untouchable.
I like tbe fulcrum but the F15 A generally did me better when i used it.
useless in ARB, yet again.
2- than the French F-16 OCU, without the burden of unreliable 7Ms.
A game dictating missile, who would’ve thought.
Hilariously false. Chances are, you’re more exposed while going defensive on an F-15A rather than a soviet based frame W/R-27ERs, as you have to at least turn a decent side of your nose to try and scan whoever is forcing you into defensive, whereas a MiG-29 can just HMS spam you into eventually lock if you’re firing an AIM-7.

“The papers outline specific technical aims for the T-90M2 upgrade. Engineers are said to be revising the fighting compartment and addressing a long-standing mechanical issue by refining the transmission and adding a reverse gear. The modernization also includes the installation of larger video-observation displays, described in the documents as panels “with a diagonal of not less than 38 cm” to improve crew situational awareness. Frontelligence Insight adds that “a similar fighting compartment is planned to be installed on the T-80.”
Unlike you, I don’t make stuff up :))
Here’s your sources.
Sorry what ? Not at all in ARB the flight characteristics still matter 😂😂
Dont have the F16 for france never bothered with it.
Prefer mirages.
Yes but with only 2 you’re extremely limited , dont act like it’s not lol, ive got the plane mate i know it’s got two good chances then you’re on the back foot for the most part.
F15As access to the IRCCM missiles, more CMs , better FM, more SARHs while not as good it’s still double the amouht.
Should mean it hangs at a .3 above the fulcrum.
Not at all? Why are the chances suddenly saying you’re more exposed ?
If you hold close to the ground and use terrain and notching R27ER isn’t that bad, especially if you come in at an off angle.
Again correctly positioned F15A shouldn’t be in the arc of a Fulcrum HMD, hence why i stated about positioning lol.
Flying up and towards an enemy is not positioning.
Use them wisely I suppose?
I’m not acting like it’s not. But with the level of discipline you’re asking on F-15A players, two R-27ERs should be easy 2 kills under most if not any right circumstance. That is actually an average-to-above-average kill potential on the current 12.3-13.3 bracket.
That is convenient, to say the least. You cannot expect me to just allow you to shift your narrative towards victimizing a plane with good BVR and even WVR potential because it lacks a proper IRCCM missile.
Neither the MiG-29 is a sitting duck at 12.7, nor the Eagle is the menace and destroyer of worlds.
Alright use them, wisely. It’s still a disadvantage lol that’s literally what the word means.
The fact you said they’re game dictating then hava fo say use them wisely is counter intuitive and slightly contradictory.
The bracket right now is bogged down heavily by 13.3 ARH slingers which have the obvious edge over theSARH carriers.
Irrelevant if it’s a 7P, 7M r27er.or matra.
As well as that how is it discipline of a player at rank 8 to be aware of positions and how to use their plane.
That’s a major copout again reinforcing the point i made before that rhe F15A once again is dropping in BR not because the actual planes not capable but due to copious amounts of bad players using it wrong.
Same as F18A is a monster at 12.3
The mig29 lacks a good IR missile period for the bracket the R60Ms are found at 10.3 below it.
The fact is the HMD is handy but not absolutely match changing due to the limitations of its missile count / good missile count.
The SMT is quite nice to use as it has R77s and the 73s however its another story
The 15A is pretty much a fk you to the 29 man
Two guaranteed kills on good hands isn’t a disadvantage. Is a golden ticket for easy grind. You’re never running a game 0-1 with well-played R-27ERs, that cannot be said the other way around with Sparrows.
Literally no? Game dictating status is acquired by literally being better than its peers in the context of a engagement? If an R-27ER is faster than an AIM-7M, I’m definitely not going to try to keep my lock within any range at all, you’re forcing me to notch before my missile even has the chance to reach the target without IOG+DL, thus losing a sparrow while notching, while the R-27ER slinger has IOG+DL to re-iluminate once I get out of the notch. That’s game dictation, not missile count.
Decompression should happen, but Gaijin has been clear through their actions they don’t believe its necessary by now, and so far, the community is not that unhappy to reach some 2023 levels.
Incorrect, most of SARH compared to ARH require discipline + positioning. R-27ERs by mere energy throws that over the window and you can just sling it as it gives you the tactical advantage of de-iluminate and re-iluminate as much as you want.
Huge meh. You can’t demand me or anyone to play it like a real pilot to make it work in Kills-per-spawn just to match Su-27 players stats. Bug off. The plane had serious technical limitations when faced against its previous BR peers. Damn, it was only technologically superior to the Mirage 4000 (Yes, an PD HDN radar dorito, and even then, that thing is able to hold its locks clearly better than the early F-15s). If anything, that thing should be going down as well.
Even if I somewhat diagree, I’m more keen to see that instead of the “F-15A being OP at 12.7”. Its radar is good, it has a dynamic kit potential, and so on.
Very confused at how the thread asking for russian tanks to be buffed ended up talking about how the F15 is balanced at 12.7 when its not, it was fine at 13.0.
I find it funny this thread is still going to be fair considering Russian tanks are arguably the most survivable in wt with only downsides of depression and reverse. But with this thread no doubt gaijin will use it to do an unrealistic buff of them again and make russia even more of a pain to play against
