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.
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.
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
Is he though?
I don’t see the majority of the forum backing his arguments. [I’m certainly not backing the majority of his stated positions. In-fact, I’m pretty sure your posts contain more agreeable statements to me than Pigeon’s, but that’s not relevant.]
I don’t see well over 90% of his arguments aligning with the forum’s general narratives.
If anyone wanted to be a populist on this forum:
Russian bias.
America doesn’t have OP vehicles.
Being nuanced and principled in one’s views around facts is NOT a popular position to have on this forum, at all.
There are hundreds to thousands of posts on this forum falsely accusing others of malice when the user being insulted is in agreement with the other user on matters.
IDK about that. Every time I hop on this topic I exclusively see multi-tech tree players, and no Russian mains.
Though this was funny to read:
Slightly better tracking, worse on other features though.
No TWS is a big hit in air RB, less in simulator. But it’s harder to chaff an F-15A radar than it is a Flanker radar.
most people have agreed that Su-30SM/SM2 should get their Kh-38’s removed and it should ONLY be carried in Su-25SM3 and Su-34, since they’re actually the only aircrafts that can carry and launch it (i couldn’t find a single footage or image of a fighter Flanker carrying them, which makes this point even more realistic).
any russian toptier jet should lose the capability of launching Kh-38, and should be limited to just Su-34 and Su-25SM3. btw i would like to see the Su-25SM3 carrying the targeting pod T550 of the Su-30SM (which i’m pretty sure it can’t carry irl, nor even exists probably).
great news: i decided to hop in the Su-27 to revive the old memories and i was able of getting Fox-3 carriers at 20km pretty easily with 1 lock while flying at sea level and locking people flying super high.
flying low and slinging R-27ER to enemies above u is a great tactic, especially knowing how limited the angles of RWRs are at 13.0/14.0 are and how much thrust and maneuverability the R-27ER has.
It doesn’t need hills to be hull-down.
Random pieces of debris, bridges, and destroyed tanks work as well.
I thought the limited gun depression would make it very situational but it really isn’t.
And it’s extremely annoying to snipe one of the two ammo belts… just to get killed by its ATGMs or vice-versa.
If they do decide to make the 30mm belt ammo detonate the vehicle then it would probably be 10.3 / 10.7…
The 5-crew variant is also very survivable if you don’t manage to detonate the hull ammo.
in that case it would probably stay at 11.3.
tho i think it would be more fair to make the 30mm belts kill the 2 crew members of the turret if detonated, so u still have 3 crew members in the tank but u can’t return fire, which balances the fact of 2 30mm cannons and 4 Atakas.
