    I get that the F-15E isn’t as nimble as a F-15C. However I still believe the E flight model is somewhat underperforming. Even though it’s a bit heavier and less nimble than the C it should still comfortably outperform a Phantom. Especially given that it has the big engines.

    • @Maverick966
      @Maverick966 5 місяців тому +18

      No, F-15E is considerably less maneuvrable than F-15C, the F-15E has only a slightly better thrust to weight ratio than F-4E (0.93 vs 0.85) so F-4E can indeed compete against it with a good pilot, F-15C has TWR of 1.07 by comparison.

      @@Maverick966 A Strike Eagle with only AIM 9s and presumably with empty CFTs should have a Thrust to weight ratio significantly above 1 and also much higher than the Phantom. It should also have a lower wing loading. Keep in mind the variant in DCS has the bigger engine.

    I grew up and still live next to a small airport on the west coast that AF reserve and naval reserve fighters fly over once a week. They usually just make a low flyby but once in a while they will do a touch and go. I have taught my granddaughter how to tell the difference between an F/A-18 Hornet, the occasional F-16 from Kingsley field in Klamath falls Oregon and once in a great while a pair of F-15's, just by the sound of their engines. The F/A-18 has a higher pitch "scream" to their smaller pair of engines, the F-16 has a little bit more of a "roar" to it but it is has a single engine. The F-15 on the other hand drowns out the TV or stereo, a complaining wife (😉love you honey! 😘) scares the dog and literally shakes the house and ground!

    I think a good alternative way to describe 1/2 circle fights would be nose-nose is one part of the aircraft said, so it's a 1 circle fight, and nose-tail is two parts of the aircraft said, so that's a 2 circle.
    The "sharing the circle" explanation makes me think of them going the same 1 direction and sharing the circle in that manner, which is confusing for me.

  • @heylookeveryoneitsjeff

    I don't recall the exact stat, but the F15 is capable of accelerating while flying straight vertical. I grew up on SJAFB (the SJ on the F15E in the video) and have watched them do vertical pulls like that at several airshows. The F15 is a large aircraft and has a lot of presence. I remember watching them phase out the F4E's at SJAFB in favor of the F15E back in the late 80's early 90's.

    10:16 - so at this point, if I'm the Eagle driver and being out rated, why not hit the AB and climb above you? That was one of the key points of the Eagle, "screw you guys, I'm going up..." The F4 doesn't have the power to follow, so the F15E can sit up there all day until it wants to come down...
