No, the E/I is the C/JM with more thrust.
There is no functional difference in offensive capability.
Like F-16C vs F-16AM.
Yeah, the C will accelerate faster… and that’s it.
The acceleration is a big impact. Aslo it has a better radar.
The radar has no difference in air from my experience but yes the acceleration is a big impact.
It may not really be a noticeable difference but it should maintain lock better.
who wouldve guessed the jet that defeat missile by literally just turning around and nothing else would get nerfed rofl

I’m a firm believer that American jets are indeed very dominant in real life and F-15E in particular is a great aircraft (this is coming from a big time F-15E fanboy). However, people often forget that this is a game meant to be enjoyed by players across all nations’ tech trees. Balance is important for ensuring that everyone can enjoy the experience, even if achieving that balance requires some level of unrealism.
Air Realistic Battles are already far from realistic. Unlocked G limits of the aircrafts and us pulling without thinking about airframe stresses, 32 aircrafts facing off in a small map, pilots somehow enduring 12Gs, 3rd person views, and simplified radar systems, etc. Given all this, there’s no reason not to nerf an overperforming aircraft if it negatively impacts the quality of gameplay for the majority.
Also, I want to mention that this issue is caused by Gaijin’s tendency to prioritize adding new content over maintaining proper balance.

It is, cause no one, except Su25SM3 gets K-band RWR, so u have 0 idea of it is actually coming never mind to try and dodge a 30G+ missile.
All SPAA should be as good as, if not better than, the Pantsir.
Also, I’m 99% sure most RWRs can detect the Pantsir too.
Do you have a preference of the C over the E? I’m at a branch to spade one or the other, and I’d like to tackle the better Air RB-performing variant first. Ground is completely secondary for me.
Nope 0%. Only ones that can are in fact Tiger helicopters and Su25SM3, in theory JF-17 which has same RWR as Tigers but not currently implemented. Pantsir has an unorthodox K-band radar which most planes’ RWR don’t go beyond I or J. Oh yeah, u can see it, but u don’t know if he has locked and fired at u so…
Already implemented
Oh it has, great, even more prompted for it in one week. The SL needed to buy it though…
Dont forget one of those was against a helicopter… in flight… with a guided bomb… yeah, that was almost more of an insult than elimination of an enemy aircraft lol

With the latest update, the F-4F KWS and Su-34 (up to even L-band) joined the list too. And of course anything with the APR-39 also could already, so that are AH-64s, and a whole bunch more helicopters.
Other nations will possibly follow in the next update if we see the F-18C be added to a bunch of nations and if it will be equipped with the AN/ALR-67(V)3 (C-K band), though it’s possible if we get an “earlier” version that it might still have the ALR-67(V)2 (C-J band).

Hey friends, you’re starting to go off-topic again ! Don’t comment on ground vehicles use aircraft examples and not vehicles like the Pantsir-S1.
This will never end.
As I always say to everyone: **only fun when the advantage is with the nation you play, especially when the company itself refuses to balance it
**(cough, cough motherland).
Company didn’t refuse to balance a plane with pretty big advantage, this is why they nerfed F-15E.

As CAS, they are in ground battles.
Not talking about CAS, they are not top tiers in air which is what this thread is about
