The current russian energy bleeding also isn’t backed by the sources, so rn it’s a guess game
You don’t know if these guys are seeking for stuff on their privacy instead of posting everything in the forums, if they find something interesting i’m sure they’ll share with us, like mig did yesterday with a document he found interesting and in many others instances in the past, therefore saying that “they can’t” serves no purpose other than demotivating them.
I lost count of How many planes got nerfed/buffed after a long period of time and after many ppl declared “Nah, this is the final version!” multiple times.
These aircraft are all new in the game, if to this day they still couldn’t fix many 3rd gen which are much older than these, imagine how wrongly made are the 4th gen. If you don’t have anything to say besides “you can’t do It” then don’t say anything, being negative won’t help.
If the dev doesn’t have the source and chose to make up the vehicle’s characteristics, why not make It in a way that it’s closer to its counterparts instead of giving it a poor FM?
Not when the discrepancy is absurd as it is with the current 4th gen aircraft ingame.
To have a better gameplay against its peers, if they have the option to improve then why not improve. Also the mig29 has a similar design to the f15 and a better twr ratio but It’s significantly worse ingame (FM wise).
This just makes Gaijin seem more incompetent and greedy lol, everyone already knows that and it’s often stated here.
When you have a fm that it’s blatantly inferior to the others then you can be sure that it’s about balance. About realism, since it was stated that the devs don’t need a source to configure the energy retention, this discussion stopped being about realism.
If the devs don’t have a source and making the plane worse or better in energy retention is purely assumption and can’t be realistic, then it’s wiser to make both closer so it’ll at least be balanced.
That’s not the only characteristic that makes the plane maneuverable, mig25 have large wings but it is a boat, f16 is much smaller than the f15 but can sustain better than it, while the f15 has others advantages.
That’s not a valid response, If they had they’d post It, like they always do. They don’t work with unclassified stuff and they often share sources to players with incorrect reports so they can correct them and convince them that there’s no issue with the matter being reported.
F15 is a 4th gen supersonic fighter like the f16 and the mig29, the 3 of them developed in the same decade with the mig29 being introduced a bit later in the 80s, the mig9 is a 1st generation subsonic jet 30 years older.
Nope when they have the source they cite it to the player that it’s reporting the issue, in the case of the su27 they cited the STR charts which I explained that can be achieved through using different variables.
Mig21 is a plane from the 50s with ancient design, engines and avionics. I don’t understand why you think that it’s wrong to compare the f15 with the mig29 since even nato often did that with the warsaw pact mig29s.
This is purely assumption from your part, i think it’s more realistic to believe that they don’t have a source, otherwise they’d use it to debunk these claims instead of using the STR charts as an argument.
