You sure that their plan isn’t to make it opposite?
The F-15C will also be objectively worse than the Su-27 due to having an inferior and less customizable missile load along with no multirole capability
Nah, the F-15A had no room in Air Superiority, and that was related to how Gaijin delivered previous american airframes.
Sapsan-E is a Russian psyop

No, you’re wrong - “The litigation over patent rights of FSUE PA Ural Optical-Mechanical Plant vs Grigory Zverzhkhovsky may take a new turn. The Russian Ministry of Defense confirmed the development and production of prototypes of the Sapsan product, the ownership of which is claimed by a former employee of the enterprise. At UOMZ they refute statements about the production of Sapsan, admitting only the creation of a model without “filling”. The Supreme Court of the Russian Federation will have to find out how the experts of the Ministry of Defense got hold of a product of unknown origin.”

Shame if its not added, be nice to get at least 1 in the tree.

Uh huh
For air superiority? Nope.
Multirole? Probably it is, but you shouldn’t use any of those planes for CAS.
There’s a high chance that the F-15C will have the AN/APG-63(V)1 radar so it should be better than the one the F-15A has.
Would be a pretty typical gaijin move to add a TGP that never actually existed to Russia.
“Well this is how the TGP WOULD have performed if it did exist!”
flashback to the YaK-141 and other preferential modelling for the Russian jets
If MP stays the same, F-15C gets the advantage from better FM, if MP is fixed, Su-27SM will be the king of the game.

Does this thing get a new radar? And if so, is it as capable as the MiG-29SMT’s radar that can lock targets at 90 degrees
MP won’t be changed soon enough, you get my word for it.
If MP was a relevant issue to address for Gaijin, they would’ve fixed it during the timeframe when the Phoenix was buffed.
I won’t be really against, I just making fun of people who thinks that is its real, echo chamber you know

I think F15 will still be king if MP is fixed. R77 have tons of drag, F15 carries 2 more Fox 3’s, VASTLY better energy manoeuvrability, especially at altitude and the R27ER provides very little standoff capability compared to the options ARH opens up. You won’t get away with cranking against F15’s slinging AIM120’s, especially when he can now notch or go cold whilst staying offensive with the Fox 3’s.

It is overall biased towards the blue side, sure its entirely manageable to play red and do well - but its laughably disingenuous to disregard the small advantages blue side can enjoy, that alongside their inherant numerical advantage in core playerbase. Information is crucial in sim, and thats the advantage blue team gets to heavily leverage, both with rwr, radar and lack of warning for the main weapons of sim rn(close range fox2’s). Ofc its not to a broken extent but it is absolutely there and shouldn’t be discounted. And naturally ET’s do offer a similar effect in specific long range scenarios. But overall, the balance does indeed remain with blue for the time being, as archers are very manageable with good spacing and flare usage, and all radar missiles in general can be entirely disregarded rn. So compounded with the natural player count discrepancy, it makes for a terrible learning environment for new red players, and leads to them leaving. Again, not due to some ego issue, but due to the economy making it impossible for them to carry on trying to learn in a particularly hard environment.
As you go lower in br where some of these advantages are less prevalent you will see red teams have much more longevity throughout a match. The flanker helped mend the top tier balance a little, going from constant 1v4’s in SMT era to around 4v11 or so, and the 27SM will help bridge that gap even more now with drastically better rwr capability averaged across the red side. And ofc the coming fox3’s will entirely balance out the bvr space completely. So yeah, next patch should be much better sim wise and it will be nice to see the meta continue to get balanced out.

I’m really for cool designs and interesting solutions, but all this arguing is just a such mess, people can’t argument, you can’t apply this words to people who’s won’t tell how exactly REAL argument looks like
cope 😼
Kind of obvious you’ve never played the planes you’re arguing against.
You don’t really need to play su-25 or any other kind of CAS to see which one is stomping top-tier constantly
