Wipe out almost the entire enemy with just one F15E platoon

This is more of a follow up to the other thread (HERE) but it is getting worse now.

It’s getting more common with 3 to 4 platooned players in F15E and/or I.

Immediately climb high, spread out a bit so you have different angles on the enemy to make notching harder, throw 32 missiles at the enemy team at enormous speed.

Easy win.

While many 120s will miss (but you all know u get sometimes crits due to splash), it forces the whole enemy to dodge them, forcing them down and slow, and the rest of your team can jump on. game over.

What the hell is that?
I experienced this a few times now and it feels like getting more frequent.

But it got nerfed so everything is fine. This is normal from what I have heard from the US main they say the vehicle is 90% close to real life counterpart . So everything is definitely 100% Ok and nothing is wrong

I mean the game needs to evolve, and the F15E should be an upgrade to the F15C imo, but they should have released it if there were enough counters in other nations (missiles or similar capable aircraft). At the moment it’s a menace to the game.

Although its not every game rn, but my guess is if a lot of players unlock it, it will be unplayable.

They won’t rest until their win rate is historical (100%)

(Still majority of people less competent than Homer Simpson)

Assuming the claim is correct, one could look at how the me-262 and hortons are treated then (expected to fight late-WW2 aircraft, MAYBE prototypes/“too late to see action” designs. Fights Su-11s, sabres, saggitario 2 and mig-15s, f9f-8 with aim 9b and even mig-17s!

(7-9 bracket is a mess, this is a cry for help)

  1. I played the whole event at toptier, never saw such a squad
  2. Barely saw F15E/i players, playing properly (early game pressure)
  3. 90% of the games are fully mixed, so F15 on both sides
  4. A team can easily counter it by spreading out
  5. It’s only successful if the enemy ignore them early game.

  1. this is your experience, above i’m sharing mine. i did not say it’s every match, just pointed out, that there can be a massive imbalance in this game when a squad decides to roflstomp and pointed out that we need decompression and a counter to the F15E in general.
  2. my guess: you may have met a lot of people grinding it.
  3. i have not complained about it with a single word, why is this your argument? belittling others opinion/experience?
  4. you cannot influence that
  5. like 4.

i do not want to allege you anything, but i smell “don’t touch my F15E”.

So maybe you should specify the times you met those squads.

Maybe there is something wrong with your nose. :-)
For me these two planes belong at 14.0.
“My” plane is nerfed so hard over the years, unplayable.

But first of all, a 4 player squad, knowing what to do, is a threat at every BR to any team.

  1. and 5. is a big problem. The higher BR the more unexperienced the players are over all. Gaijin forced that in many ways, so we have to deal with it.
    Teamplay never was a thing in ARB, so every squad has an advantage.

i encountered them last night around 11 pm GMT the first, a couple of matches after that, another squad and around 1am another one.

today i saw none. but the spaghetti in the sky are increasing every day (reminds me of the f14 spam).

on some maps you can no longer sneak up on them because they are so high so fast in the sky, that you cannot use the terrain to flank them.

pyrenees and the spaceport map are awful to play atm, because u cant even hide behind the terrain, unless you join the game late or play 2nd or even 3rd row and hope they have already fired their amraams. but then your whole team might be dead.

I prefer using F-15JM personally. Was added further back, better overall flight performance as well.

Well this will never be the case. It’ll always be variety.
That and it’s too slow without conformals currently.
