IDK about you, but I have a fine time flying a slower accelerating F-15 that can pull harder if I want it to.
Tbf Alvis, you’re having a good time in an F-15 because it was and still is dominating. Everyone that is not an EFT or F-15 has to hug the ground

I’m using the F-15JM, not the E. The E’s inferior to the JM overall for what I want in a jet.
I don’t care for a 2 minute climb and likely never will. It’s a cool tactic, but it leaves you doing little for a lot of the match more matches than not.
And the AAM-4 is as decent as the AIM-120
That’s not really true. I don’t hug the ground in any aircraft when I don’t want to. In fact I usually do better when I dont.
I think we should wait to see how it performs on the live server, then do it after that.
This is just a rumor I’ve heard and have yet to find anything backing it up
There was supposedly 1 Su-30SM that was test fitted with AL-41F1S for testing back in the late late 2010s (In preparation for the SM2 contract most likely), so if that’s the route gaijin wants to take then too hell with it all I guess
And also just sayin, the SM"1" designation isn’t real if that’s what you’re hitting at, its just SM → SM2 upgrades wise
I fully support adding new engines. The Su 30 Sm has pretty poor energy retention and slow acceleration.

Remove kh38 from it. Then we can talk about better engines 🙂
For what it matters, found a reproducible issue that degrades control of Su 30 SM

r77-1 is without a doubt better than amraam what
sub 10km? yeah maybe, BVR? only if the enemy is braindead doing nothing flying straight at you

SU30 with the AL-41 engine is literally from 2020. the PW 229 is an engine from 1989. and the f15e got has got it for 25/30 years (not sure when they started producing them with the pw229
21 su30sm2 were ordered in 2020. the FIRST ones were literally delivered in august of last year, f15e has been standard with pw229 for at least 20 years
absolutely not. thats base r77 range. r77-1 will likely outperfom amraam anything below <20 kilometers, whilst competing and having a better maneuverability over that. stop downplaying it, its going to be a great missile, definetly the most versatile
Get it right please, The first ones were spotted in 2022
In case you can’t figure it out, look at the slats. It has the L-band AESA IFF Antenna found on the Su-35
Based on current data it won’t.
This horse is so dead why are we still beating it? You’re just wrong. I’m not elaborating, go read the forums and watch actual dev server fights with it on YouTube. the stat card is extremely reliant on a single perfect situation.
youre right. changes nothing about my point. instead of being less than a year old, its 2 years old
said data being?
“youre wrong i refuse to elaborate whyre youre wrong”
