Look at the numbers they are just under the wing
No justification for it going 63% the speed of sound too fast
shouldnt you be able to see the AIM-9’s?
They are upper, just cant see them from that angle
so its just overperforming with CFT in absolute max speed at altitude
Yes any turn it can perform above 1.6 Mach is completely fictional.
there is a very simple justification, gaijin knowingly does not implement pylon drag and heavily reduces drag from external fuel tanks

lol, are you really complaining about F15C here? not the other planes that benefit more from this modeling?

even easier we just test eagle with 8 missiles and report it like that.
doubt it. im sure it can turn 0.9 mach away from its absolute top speed
no we cant, because gaijin only uses clean charts for max speed
because they dont model pylon drag

There are plenty of planes not modeled that way harrier for example is 1, SU-27 another, MiG-23.
How is su-27 and mig 23 another
Its modeled for 4 missiles carried. In both turns and speed.
So modeling eagle after its clean combat loadout (8 missiles) would be an even better comparative metric.
Not for top speed.
Only turns
Vne for both those planes are 1400 kph and at altitude clean is Mach 2.35
VNE is not thrust limits
Yeah they’re both structurally limited not thrust limited.
So it’s kinda weird comparing those planes to the f15
Cause they’re not thrust limited like the early f15a/c
Something like the e models with 229 aren’t thrust limited
Mate im sorry.
We are testing the 8 missile configuration now. If its overperforming considerably like the A it will be reported.

No I don’t care if it’s reported or not, I just don’t get the comparison.
What do you mean?
what fuel % is it
and do you leave fuel consumption off?
