Yes! I’m frankly surprised it hadn’t been suggested already. Hope to see it soon!
It has been a couple of times, though possibly not on this version of the forum

+1, Gaijin is slacking when it comes to the dedicated Cold War interceptors, this goes for the U.S as well, they’ve somewhat already got theirs going with the F-104 line.

+1, this and the other Soviet and US interceptors are massively overdue to come to the game.

I dont know what makes you think the manoeuvrability would be poor. Double delta wings and a high TWR do pretty good things for the J-7E. The Su-15TM probably has a higher wing loading and hence wouldnt turn as tightly but I reckon the turn rate/retention would be pretty strong.

If anything, I imagine the Su-15TM would be most comparable to the F-106.
We could be looking at a new vehicle matchup for an update…

I cant tell you how much I would love to see that xD.
I have a spreadsheet of maybe 100 vehicles Id most like to see come to the game and those 2 are probably some of my favourites

The Su-15TM has an overload of only 6.5g, which translates to 9.75g in-game. While it may be able to pull some AoA, it wouldn’t be able to sustain a turn without the wings falling off. It’d be similar to the F-8E, which also has a 6.5g limit.

Well, the F-8E turns fairly well, so Id be happy with that

Some more images of Su-15TM aircraft from a couple books I have:
Su-15TM (7 Images)
The first two show 74 Blue and 75 Blue which were the first two production Su-15TM aircraft. The 4th shows 47 Red in an all-black scheme during an airshow.
The books are Gordon’s Sukhoi Interceptors book and Markovsky’s Su-15 Fighter-Interceptor book

Those images really demonstrate how similar the J-8 is to it. Minus the double delta wing, they’re almost identical.
Only TM version have double delta. Older Su-15T have only single delta.
