Why does the F-15E have a 22.5% thrust loss vs other aircraft

it should be time limited to 7 minutes if i remember right

mig 29 has less thrust loss

yeah, it should be limited, but i dunno if it’s 7 minutes per flight or just can’t work more than 7 minutes without giving it some rest.

idk

Around 18%. Less than 15E but still significantly more than most.

That makes no sense either. The Mig-29’s intake has an unrestricted straight run to the engines

Gaijin “balancing”, what can i say. Funnily enough people even brought German manuals about MiG-29 with thrust graphs for the installed engines and gaijin did nothing.

If it was balancing that’s one thing, I’m genuinely curious how they arrived at those numbers

Either way im curious why your already 2nd or 3rd fastest jet needs to be 1st again

remove 9L from the B and make it 13.7, while we are at it take inspiration from very early factory models when no RWR etc was mounted and it was just a shell

Not asking for first, asking for fairness or at least an explanation as to why it’s 22.5%

What is there to make fair? Balancing? Still is one of the best lol

US never fired Phoenix in combat - remove it from Tomcats.

Rafale and EF are better, that’s like 4 nations worth of em lol so F-15 is like 5th assuming the F-15 is better than the su-30sm which it isn’t

By the time your F15E is in space, a Su30 is lucky to be at 6k
