Opinions: F-15 WVR capability | Forums

[SirPapps]

I recently started a thread about just gunzo on the F-15 vs Su-27. But that brought up a little more ...

What's the overall opinion of F-15 going WVR, 1 on 1 with the plane set in this game:

1) gunzo?
2) every weapon except BVR-capable systems?

The obvious challenge in 1) is the Flanker. However, with a better TWR, top speed and acceleration, a gunzo battle could still be won with how the Americans won a2a battles in WWII -i.e. through speed and vertical maneuvers while rarely suckering into a dog fight.

2) is tougher. If the Eagle were to use its vertical maneuvering capabilities, acceleration, would it be able to splash the Flanker?

Or would the Flanker find a shot opportunity so quickly that an Eagle pilot wouldn't even be able to extend/climb sufficiently?

I ask because the F-15 has been a favorite jet of mine ever since I learned what a jet was.
I'm planning on getting the game after school. Perhaps I'll buy FC2 (where, unfortunately, the flaps of the F-15 are sadly in God-mode).

i have been gone along time 5 yrs. now thay have 2.0. why no response i have mi throrey. the rule is if the bird can out turn, you always go vertical. on the f-15 the best turn speed is 425. the su 27 is a havey bird ;the su 33, at higher speed it's not so maneuverable. you can get in too 100 things on dog fihgting,but the mane thing is your first trun and your speed on that fisrt turn ?? does this hlep
