I don’t think you understand how good MICAs are. While is true R-77-1 have a " longer " range , MICAS dominate close to medium ranges. Not only that , r-77-1 BVR is only good against less experienced players flying in a straight line. Otherwise, useless.

no way micas will dominate medium ranges too, they dont have the energy to do so right now.
drag whilst maneuvering isnt taken into account for r77 sure, but the TVC on the mica has the same problem
thats all fox 3s in bvr ranges, 25km+ kills can only happen against bad or distracted players.
According to flight manual first F-15E with PW-229 is 90-233. Which is 1990.

Wrong. F-15Es were factory built with -229s since 1990. It’s not comparable at all to the Su-30SM being refit to the extent of the SM2 standard.

Yes the rafale still the top1 dogfighter its 100% true. The first few day in the dev server the su30sm wasn’t even in the top 5 planes. That’s why there was no reason to nerf it. The al41 engine would only be usable so that it would live 20sec instead of 10sec against the rafale.

No, the 229 engine implement with hmd in ~2010 when the usa implement the aim9x to f15. It is easy to tell from the F15E’s cabin that it is a modernized version.

Which is not what he said. Nor does it have anything to do with the F-15E having -229s
Do tell me what makes the cockpit a “modernized version”, I’ll wait.
have the hmd control services
planes with this engine still produced since of 1990.
dosent matter the hmd implemention come in 2010
then just look at thread.
Thats irrelevant to why the engine was brought up. A dude said that f15e getting the engines was “fantasy”

Except it doesn’t? And right console is not even close to modernized
tbf, JHMCS was only introduced to the F-15E at around 2010. That’s what they probably meant
I’m well aware of that, but that’s not what he said. He specifically said cabin(cockpit).
Probably just poor english?
