    Thank you! Been looking for a video on the updated flight model and honestly think this flight model is much better and much more competitive. I still think its gonna get dogged on by r27s but here we are... all I can say is its appalling that gaijun things sparrows are comparable to 27s

  • @ShortTexiMexi
    @ShortTexiMexi Рік тому +20

    Something I don't understand is why everyone always does one circle when doing these kinds of dogfights and never take advantage of going two when they get the chance and keep trying to one circle the fight I can understand f15 v f15 but taking an su27 or gripen one circle instead of two is basically suicide and the smart thing to do would be to use the f15s thrust to rip around the two circle and pull in, is there just something I'm not getting about the flight models in war thunder making one circle fighters dominate in both regardless if the other plane has high thrust and good aoa like the f16

    • @lohpu1208

      ​@@lohpu1208The f16 doesnt have nearly the one circle capabilities as an su 27 or mirage or gripen. It is a 2 circle fighter, and it is the best 2 circle fighter of basically any aircraft in warthunder (and basically any overall) the f15 is slightly worse in a 2 circle than an f16 but is still alot better than a gripen mirage or su 27. I recommend the growling sidewinder if youre interested in dogfights and what vehicles excel in what. He mainly plays dcs which is about as close to real air combat as a simulator can get.

    • @lovelyhippo7826

      One thing to note is that the 1 corcle helps to jam the WEZ of fox 2s.. A su27 will kill almost everything if it can get a good launch with an r73, and a 2 circle will give it that.

It should outrate the su 27 by quite a bit as it has better thrust to weight ratio and loses less speed during turns. The f15E which has way bigger fuel tanks is a very bad dogfighter as it is a strike aircraft.

      Su27 should be way better in once circle dogfight in comparison to F15, while F15 is already good in what it is supposed to be good: energy retention and two circle dogfight in comparison to Su27.
      Basically Su27 is still underperforming a little while F15 is performing correctly.
      Stop crying and get good, this come from someone maining both US and USSR so i don't really care or need to lie just to have "a better jet", lol.
      P.S F16 still flies like an UFO and overperform in everyway possible, while soviets Mig29s (german mig29g is slightly better) underperform in everyway possible in comparison to its irl capabilities, but ya all yankees fanboy are still quiet about it.

    F15 should have much much worse flight model then it has especially after last update when it can turn like crazy at speeds like 700-800 km/h
