Only thing I would change is it can get outclasses right now in BVR and get out dog fought but I think it’s a jack of all trades but master of none holding itself good in BVR with one of if not the best radar in America with a good set of fox-1s and a good df ability but being outclassed by a gripen and F-16 but a great fighter either way
@@2goober4u After looking... That's wild, only has IR missiles for 13.3... maybe another plane they forgot about (I'd rather take the Fakour slinger to 13.3)
Top tier is an absolute mess rn. This game needs at least a couple numbers added to it's BR max limit, or get a 0.7 limiter to the matchmaker (instead of 1.0). We already have the player numbers to make this happen without hurting queues...
F-15A: More missiles, sparrows, PD RAM, more CCM (if F-16A wants to have 6 missiles), faster, similar or better dogfighting performance - 13.0 F-16A: Only 6 IR missiles and can't equip CCM pods with 6 missiles, simple radar with no TWS or HMD, average F-16 block 15 airframe, the sin of being french - 13.3
@@issakawalit490 the f16a doesn't have tws or hmd either and the f15a had pseudo tws called pd ram mode which works like tws after locking > soft locking a target. The airframe is arguably on the same level if not better and never had any issue with wings except the very first f15 patch
13.3 for the F-15A end of discussion. Most planes it can face at 12.0 can't even see pulse doppler radars. They can just fly high and spam off their sparrows and you can't be countered due to the sheer performance.
well no overperforming for BR not really its just that in a full dowtier your cooked fighting one they need to move top tier up again... needs to be more gap
Aim-7 still has the problem of it will suddenly running away from the target by the time of launch like 02:57, so its actually not very useful if I can say
the f15a is not terrible in the uptier, if u want me to prove it i can. And its mainly caused by br compression, 14.0 wouldn't sove the problem, it needs 17.0
Map design, it's legitimately just map design. Gaijan wants realistic maps with realistic aircraft and realistic damage the problem is that just kinda sucks to play,(see why DCS has no players) they need to get over themselves and start designing video game maps not large flat sandboxes that are 'realism' friendly Gaijan has no idea what their doing with maps large flat maps that have unlimited sightlines with fox-3 gameplay basically boils down to lob BVR fox-3s at each other which is an incredibly passive and unfun gameplay loop, and not one that you can make fun unless your stomping (which is always fun)
DCS has no players because entry into it is price of hotas alone and then atleast FC3 plane. If you want proper module and proper experience - Module = 50-60 on sale, 70-80 bucks full. Decent HOTAS = from 400-800 bucks Track IR = can go up to few hundreds if you cant find DIY ones with 3rd party program PC that can actually run it = 1-2K... On top of that, atleast base knowledge of plane systems and avionics unless you want to spend hundreds of hours in tutorials, manuals and learning about it from nothing. In MP, you will get shit on without that knowledge. ABSURDLY STEEP LEARNING CURVE. Entry to WT- Few hundred bucks for PC that can run it. And everything is flat sight-line if someone slings amraam from 12km of alt anyway.... you would need alps as map to hide from plane this high. Heavy hilly terrain with occasional few km mountains wouldnt be enough and noone wants crap from starwars with 20km high mountains, floating islands and so on.
I used the f4s to grind the f15a I don't see this problem I've only ran into f15 a handful of times the Max i see is 12.7 but this video is a month old so idk if they changed anything lol
@@McXerYT imo there should be a bomber gamemode and a strike gamemode against AI or something and then obviously ECRB without name tags at more than 15km
Very good plane and its super fun beating the shit out of f14 iriafs but in uptiers against fox-3s its absolutely shit. You literally spend half of the game notching and being on the defence and its very difficult getting near to a fox-3 carrier without getting wrecked. fox-3 carriers seriously need to move up to 15.0+ where they will only face each other including the stupid super harrier that wrecks everything in downtiers
Hey you should make a video on sambad I want to see your opinion on the engine and stuff it’s like the f4d except it’s very obese and has funky missles
@@McXerYT it’s 9.0 with speed similar to the f100 low alt and has better missles but it’s only good in a one circle while the f100 is way better in a two circle and speed retention Also you kinda just slap everything around in a downtier and also the gun is a 30mm
F-15A is in pain right now... It is not maneuverable enough to have decent fights at low alt, since it is just a huge airfram and gets absolutely slammed at higher alts with Fox-3s...

the fact that france F-16A is 13.3 for having 6 good missiles vs 8 at 13.0
that is still wild to me
Does that F-16A have HMD?
I don’t remember I don’t think so maybe

the + -1.0 br window was and will always be a problem until they deal with it.
They probably won't
yeah they won’t

yeah it dose need to go up
But is it equal to a su27 with better radar missiles and 4 more at that? They need to increase the battleratings again
@@TheChickenJ r73 is much better than 9m's by my experience also su27 has hmd and f15 dont.And fm is better on su27
@@rensss1 The F-15A has a way better flight model bro. SU-27 is gimped hard. F-15A has been overperforming since day one.

cant believe this is the same BR as the F16 adf and MLU

i dont have the f15a but im grinding the us tech tree with the f4s and this and the f14 iriaf are the 2 aircraft i hate seeing

The av8b+ is quite nice at the same br you get to aim120 f4s/j so so nice and the 25mm rotary is the best aircraft gun i think

lol the F-15 used to really only fight F-4s but with BR changes it goes up a lot more now
The f15 sucks im truly convinced im playing a different game than everybody
I pay it in sim and so far I love it.
They need better gamemodes
like ones for bombers?
Realistic enduring confrontation. They did it in the past and it would fit high tier perfectly.
