the problem with f15 is the ppl who research it thinking that it will win the battles for them since it has 105kd just because its american, not because the pilots were well trained and were fighting some mig21s(yeah i love getting my kd on bots too)
I love how you had that enemy F-16 locked up for like 16km, it drops lock so the first sparrow is a dud, then the second one just switches to a friendly and kills him instead. Truly a missile of all time.
you should be my gf
it's weird how the sparrow will never track again once the lock is lost on an enemy but it will relock on friendlies. Happened me twice in f-4j and the friendly was even going cold and i turned the radar off right when i saw the radar locking on the friendly. Five seconds after I turned off the radar the sparrow killed the friendly and the enemy destroyed my aircraft while I was getting kicked off the lobby.
Happens all the time, how tf is a radar missile going for a plane that the radar is ignoring

I wont deny that the sparrows have some real issues but its a joke to talk like you know anything about their reasoning while actually knowing simply nothing about it.
And Do you really believe the Flanker needed a nerf of other planes to look better😂😂😂😂
Dont fool yourself man it has 6 27ers and 4 r73. Its literally impossible to not see the Flanker as an absolute beast .
"War Thunder community is wrong about (Blank)" - is more common than one might imagine.
Except that they're not, these youtuber's just put these titles for clickbaits. There was another video by someone else on "sparrows working perfectly fine" and this guy on reddit complaining just had skill issue but there's literally many video proofs of 7M just completly going opposite direction from where it needs to go or missing very easy shot etc...! Not saying that community is always right, but more often than not, if they're complaining then there's something to it that needs to be explored rather than silenced by calling it "skill issue"
@INeatFreak if wt community got their way on absolutely everything, we will have an unbalanced mess of US-one sided massacre, because all they want is point and click
@@INeatFreak Hell I launched an AIM-7M from 40km once to scare an enemy and the missile went the whole other direction. Honestly I want the F-15C to come out with the AIM-120A AMRAAMs. It’s already outclassed due to the R-27ERs.
@@gtmike916 you shouldn't launch a sparrow at 40km though, I launched a 20km shot once to enemy at bottom right of me and the missile started going to top left and aimed at the sky, wanted to explore the space I guess.

I really wonder whether or not gaijin really thinks statistics are a good way to balance vehicles or if they just don't give a damn anymore
Yea, you're right. I don't think they should use win/lose stats to balance.
If Gaijin waters down performance on a vehicle for "balance", we know the community will leak classified documents to say that Gaijin is wrong.
Probably in their best interest to be as accurate as possible for vehicle performance.

7P is naval thing only.
USAF used 7MH (h build) from late 80s onwards. MH had loft, improved eccm, lookdown capabilities and autopilot PN logic to conserve more energy throughout the flight
I'm an old F-15 Eagle crew chief and was stoked about the aircraft coming into my favorite game. The performance is good for the F15 but the Aim-7M's are NOT up to the task for a higher or even it's current BR. The reason is that everybody else at it's BR have radar weapons that actually work. Since the Eagle has come out the Aim-7m's only guide 'off the rail' about twice in 10 launches. They don't guide at all once launched. It'd be different if they actually worked but just couldn't connect because they didn't have the 'oomph' at what we call 'end-game' for the missile shot. No TWS for the APG63, that's just non-sensical. The F14 has it in both models and the APG63 was designed with it from the start. Having the Mig23ML I've found that THOSE missiles guide far better than anything I'm carrying on the F15, just because they actually try to guide off the rail and have a chance of hitting anything. This isn't so for the F15 Aim-7M's currently, not at all.
The amount of shit they leave out or change is funny
Literally neutered the F-111
Saying and posting documents as source
When you look in the document there is absolutely no mention of the nerf actually the opposite and it should of been buffed more
Even talking to previous maintainers and pilots
They could confirm that wasn’t right
@@crimzonempire4677M735 was erroneously nerfed, Gaijin admitted to the error, and then left it nerfed. They always gimp stuff because sekrit dokument comrad))))
You're incorrect about it having TWS from the start, but otherwise yeah. Not sure what Seek was on about with it clubbing MiG-23ML's, I've 1v6'd many times in my ML, including in my first ever match with it, against F-15's simply because their missiles all failed and none of mine did.
And to clarify, the APG-63 didn't have TWS; it had a system vaguely similar to the concept itself but completely different in practice and in layman's terms it was moreso a "multi-track" system than an actual TWS. Even in the PSP upgrade it doesn't have TWS as we know it, though its system would be close enough to simply give it that in-game if it got that radar. But ultimately it wouldn't actually do much for the aircraft in Air RB.
I’m just waiting for them to finally add the aim 7MH block II because then we’d at least get iog like the r24r and newer and datalink like the ER even if the missile performance isn’t actually better

hi isurus
I suspect that Gaijin left the F-15A at 12.3 because the superseding 12.7 slot is reserved for the F-15C with AIM-120s, which is likely going to be added next patch. I actually think that's the main reason since the A definitely has 12.7 flight performance already, but there wouldn't be much reason to play it at that rating when the C-model is just a straight upgrade. I'm actually a bit dismayed at this, being a swedish main, since big twin-engine fighters are probably going to supplant the light fighter meta going forward. Lights might be a bit fun and ratty but the advantage of a heavy fighters combination of large missile loadout and good performance is a bigger factor in the end.
If you believe that, enjoy your dominance while it lasts, because im enjoying it in the JAS-39C too 😆
The br difference makes no difference when 11/10 matches will be 12.7 regardless. People over analyze the upwards Br shit and not really thinking about what it does to lower aircraft that get put into those full 12.7 lobbies
Thats not happening, ARHS are gonna be rolled out on a limited amount basis hence why next patch its going to be SMT, 16c etc with ARH missile buses coming later at 13.0.
@@TheIrishBreadI really don’t think Russia needs an ARH, ik that that the Russian cry babies will throw a hissy fit that “it’s not fair” etc etc but with how seriously broken the R-27 is they don’t need another longe range missile for the foreseeable future
dont forgot the gripen will get amraams in the near future so that isnt necessarily true that the light fighter meta will get supplanted by the heavy fighters with a better if not similar kit as the gripen
i'd rather radar slave aim 9ms than bother using sparrows
It really does work well. People never really expect it
it’s so stupid how the Sparrow seeker is worse than even the R-24R nowadays.
@@ariq4209had the 7m's unlocked for a while and can count on one hand the amount of times they've tracked. One dude was DIRECTLY in front of me and the missile pulled off to my ten o clock and flew straight towards the horizon. I hate this damn game...
Had better results with the 7f..😊
@@jonnybgoode7742 I had a wild moment last night where two sparrow shots, launched only 10 seconds between each other, acted wildly different from each other. Lemme ask you which missile you think tracked and hit:
A) Frontal Aspect PD lock, but target is close to ground and going evase, including attempting to dive into a river ravine.
B) Frontal Aspect PD lock, target is not low to ground and is higher than targeting aircraft, and isn't going evasive but rather flying traight toward targetting aircraft.
If you answered B, you're wrong. It was A. Somehow, that missile hit and got the kill, but the easier "B" missile shot not only didn't hit, it didn't even track on what is an optimal radar lock, preferring instead to just drift off in a straight line like it was a dumb fire rocket.
There is something seriously wrong with how they implemented the AIM-7Ms, because I never have these kinds of issues so often with other AIM-7 variants. Even E2s on the F-4E perform more reliably... _at low altitude._
I speak for the whole playerbase when I say that we need the SU-35S with R37Ms to counter the Aim-7
Nah I think you need at least the su57 Felon
Who’re you speaking for?

Wouldn't that be any toptier plane?
That doesn’t make it stand out from the M4K, Gripen, F-16, or SU-27.
So the F15 has one big issue for me: THE FRICKING WING RIP...every few games my wing just says bye bye
yeah that is something that still needs to be fixed unfortunately, other than that, its an incredible plane
The wing in question: 🧏♂️🤫
Don’t put boosters on if you have
you're taking too much fuel, if u try to make sharp turns or angles with more than 16 minutes of fuel it's probably going to rip
they shoul push f15 to at least 12.7 and current 12.7 to atleast 13.0
I completely agree the F-15 has no business being at 12.3. Every time I get a downtier it's an absolute bloodbath and ive gotten a 9 kill game in it once.
I think that if the F15A doesn't get Fox 3s it should at least get the Sparrow 7P to try to counteract the R27ERs features and performance.
the fact there is no Aim7P for, at the very least the datalink, is criminal. it would fix so many of the current f/m problems
I would say just give it it's BoL pods and 7Ps, along with the actual 90s ANG radar this ANG variant had irl, and then itd be good to go back to 12.7
@@weltall7283 honestly should just make the MISP upgrade a module
And give us the MH versions of the Aim-7 for better guidance, loft and datalink
Also pretty sure better inertial guidance
Amazing growtht this channel has gone through, and well deserved at it too! I might get your decal as the first UA-camr deceal I've ever gotten (played for 2 years without a decal)
Still a joke it’s at 12.3. Should be 12.7. You just get the F-4S premium players who all they do is rocket bases up to top tier, fly out the F-15 and they wonder why they’re doing bad and cope about the plane being shit.
It’s got zero 12.7 capabilities: only 4 good missiles, no BVR capabilities thanks to the R-27ER being in game, no HMD, and doesn’t have good instantaneous AoA. Currently it’s just a F-16C with two less 9M’s, no HMD, and worse dogfight performance
@@Iden_in_the_Rain It is more than capable at 12.7 with meta being hug the ground to avoid Fox 1s and spam it your AIM-9Ms. I’ve never had issues with the F-15. Players just depend so much on planes that are as OP as the Grip and F-16C flight models to do good. Otherwise then bring the MiG-29 SMT and G down to 12.3 lol. With how 12.7 plays, the SMT and G are worse than the F-15.

@@bwhittv1446 MiG-29SMT/G get R-27ER, 40G IRCCM IR missiles, and HMD - none of which the F-15 has any counter for.

That's a theoretical capability, the MH is a navy missile and the F-15 never actually used it. Some people think it may work but there's nothing solid.
I’m pretty unsure about all the late sparrows myself
@@GeneralLee2000P is naval, MH was used by usaf
@@honzavasicek both MH and P are naval, you have a source for MH being used by the USAF? All the manuals go straight from M to AIM-120 for the USAF...
@@GeneralLee2000 maybe because H is upgrade of existing M, not new missile. Its same deal as with 120C1/2/3 etc... They are still Cs only. Until C5, they had same hud symbology where identification for C5 changed due to different engine.
ADA391727 page 40.
ADA494620
ADA498229
In absolute majority of cases. H build sparrow is M because it is M. Especially during 90s when Ms were converted. Doesn't matter if usaf made a switch to 120. Sparrow equipped eagles were normal deep into 90s. When they got 7F, phantoms were flying with 9J-1/2s and 7E3s up to 80s. F16As with 9J were absolute normal occurrence even though there were 9Ls available because replacing whole arsenal takes years and you use what you have.
Only thing I hate about the F-15A is the AIM-7M's and no HMD, other than that the plane is good, sometimes you could also argue that the F-15A would be better in a certain situation over the F-16C
Flight performance doesn’t fucking matter if your wings rip off, or you get blown out of the sky 38 seconds after takeoff.
Top tier with the f15 is boring as hell because you have to kiss the ground until after the merge then hope to god half of your team is still alive to actually dogfight something.
You just suck
I would really like the F-15 but I seem to rip my wing in like 20% of my games and its extremely annoying. Is there any consistent reason it rips its wing bc most of the time, im only pulling like 8gs when it rips
Same thing happens to me in the Su-27 while mouse aiming the thing. It probably has to do with both having busted flight models (on both ends) while neglecting the structural integrity and G-limits of both aircraft.
Couldnt have said it better myself! Great video!! The best way to put it is there is no way R-60s on mig 23s go against 9ms. Never should happen
Holy shit. That intro is fire and your decal is talking to my soul. ❤️🔥
It’s also the only would be 12.7 without HMD meaning aside from raw dogfighting and the 9Ms, it doesn’t really have the edge needed to push it to 12.7

F15 remaining 12.3 is still one of the dumbest decisions ive seen by gaijin. Easily second best top tier jet in game rn.. only thing above it is gripen because gripen is brain dead easy to fly. just imo a player diff keeping it low, lack of HMD is a poor excuse that barely effects it, now i would be fine as well with better radar missiles or simply fixing the radar missiles, also the aim7 just randomly hititng the mirage is WILD, ill be honest, i did forget how oddly disfunctional those missiles are
I feel it should stay at 12.3 until Aim-7Ms are fixed.

Gaijin need to HIre those skin and afterburner makers, not to sell skins but to make the default skins for the planes
“All call signs, check in”
“This is Poo Poo 2 standing by.”
"This is RamRanch 18 on standby"
Don't remember the exact order but I will say my favorite
"Pissjug 97 weapons hot"
Imagine a plane (f-15J), that has the 2nd best flight model in the game, and 4 of, *by far* the best IR missiles, along with 4 more *good* radar missiles, being placed at 12.3BR.
Gaijin balancing... LOL
Also, the 27ER *cannot* be lofted right now. It cannot be fired via boresight (though it COULD IRL), and once you lock a target and fire on it, the missile will go IOS immediately to intercept it's path. If you fire the missile upwards, it will just burn a bunch of delta-v turning immediately and pitching down to intercept - no loft possible.
sadly they did something to the aim7m so they are extremely far from good
maybe they try to loft but never come back, they just like to fly in random directions except the direction the radar points

Get the Gripen, very similar style
This is probably niche but the use of the ace combat 7 campaign music at the start was class
I disagree about the sidegrade, I personally believe it is a downgrade/upgrade depending on ones playstyle. If you play agressively, go into the furball then the f16 wins easily in that perspective, just because you don't have to fuck up your flight direction to point a missile which in most cases gets you killed when you fly fast which is one of the main advantages of the f15 so in furball dogfights it sucks - which is most of the playerbase, fly off runway fight die.
If you play the f15 in the way you do fly high avoid whatever you can and the focus on cherry picking each enemy, then yes it is superior to the f16 but only under the condition that your team doesn't completely demolish the enemy or the other way around, then you just get stuck with one kill and 40 clicks away from the team. Only really rarely do I see lobbies where the furball ends with even number of players afterwards. Usually it just ends in a 14 vs 2 and then ur either left for dead to the 14 enemy players on to you now or have nothing to do but to speed up to the last enemies in hopes you'll get yourself another kill. - which in the f16 you wouldn't do because the 9ms are just superior in close range even head on to the sparrow sometimes.
Thats the coldest decal ever by any UA-camr🥶🥶
SRC PD HDN/ TRC PD HDN radar mode is really unreliable when the target is moving across your pov in a horizontal direction. Therefore your radar locked on your friend by accident and tk him. Best after lock on to switch back to TRC PD
How did you get the afterburner to look so good?
Custom user skin
The current F-15A is basically a Phantom Pro Max. Even a better radar with tws would make it more suitable in 12.3.
Honestly I ratter play the f16C over the F15
Exactly it's literally a better plane
@@anrw886 That statement depends on what your type of gameplay is, for example, I like the F-15 because I like heavy missile slinging fighters, you probably like the F-16 because you are likely the kind of player who does well as light and maneuverable front-line fighters. So, the F-16 is better as a front-line fighter, the F-15 is better as an air superiority fighter.
I would say the other issue with the F-15 is the wing rip issues. Bo other plane I've played wing rips the same ways and the amount of times the F-15 does
That decal looks sick!
Isn't the f15 still gimped? Like it's acceleration should be 20% faster right?
great content bro. i personally dont mind the f15 being where its at tbh i feel like yes the dog fighting capabilities are exceptional but the chances of getting dog fights at above 11.0 is decreased significantly.

Never got a downtier in the F15 ... 100% of matches are against 12.7 planes.
i am just not good at heavy airframe and thats the reason why i have 70 deaths and only 10 kills
I have a K/D of 8 or thereabouts on my F-104S.ASA. But to me F-15 feels SO BAD. Mainly because of the weaponary i think but something abour it just feels off
You absolutely did that cinematic bit because of the cinematic documentary thing didn't you
What afterburner mod is that?
The reason the F-15 is in a lower br is because of the fact of the F-15C. Just think of how amazing the ER's are and how useless the 7m's are.
Now the F-15 itself is a good aircraft in WT. Still carries 9m's, great one circle fighter, great T/W that allows altitude climbing and quick energy regain. However that's it, just like most American aircraft.
You see the balance has pretty much always been this since the ER. Russians have bvr advantage while Americans get bfm advantage. The ER is still the best bvr missiles in the game (even after the "buff" to the 54's) and people are even saying the ER is better than the currently testing Fox-3's in the test servers.
Now the R-73 started to even the bfm playing field for the Russian aircrafts however duebto the fact people just let them loose whenever the missile's accuracy has gone down dramatically (the Aim-9m doesn't allow you to fire at preflaring targets meanwhile the R-73 let's you fire whenever allowing some really bad probabilities for the R-73 on certain scenarios), but the bfm standpoint still is an American slam dunk (F-16 being the best bfm fighter in the game and the F-15 now being the best 1 circle fighter in the game however the Griphen does challenge the F-15 in that 1 circle fight).
Now I would expect the F-15C to be coming either this update or the update after which would allow Aim-120's which SHOULD be heaps better than the Aim-7's (capitalized there because again people are saying the ER is better than the Fox-3's that are being tested) and I think the 103-0 kd the F-15 has says something about its lethality. So having the F-15A in 12.3 allowing the F-15C take the 12.7 seems about right (tbh the F-15A and F-14A should just be premium aircraft due to the short time it took for us to move to later variants irl). Now the F-15C is a heavy girl, and I think like twice the size of the A which will change up its bfm capabilities just like the F-16A to the F-16C. Not a big change but noticeable.
Now compare this to the Su-27. Su-27 I would put as third in the 1 circle fight, still holds a really powerful T/W but not quite as powerful as the F-15, however holds 6 of the best bvr missiles and 4 of the best df missiles (and yes the 73's are the best df missiles, the 9m's cannot pull hard enough in a short distance meanwhile the 73 can which gives the 73 a better chance than the 9m's in specifically close up encounters). So it's weaponry backs it up pretty well. Now I will say it should probably be knocked down if it doest get R-77's, but still it holds one of the most powerful arsenals in the game.
Now this is coming from someone who plays sim almost exclusively. A mode that punishes you if you're not situationaly aware, low energy or too much energy, and often goes unnotice by both Gaijin and the War Thunder community. And these things will differ slightly towards air rb, but will stay relatively similar
45 battles for me with F15, 3 battles in 12.3 rest 42 battles in 12.7. So now, it is not BR of the plane, it is the stupid brackets Gajin can not finalize after 12 years.

Also I think that if matches were 6v6 or 8v8 then the advantages you get with an f15 over an su27 would matter a bit more. The f15 has no business clapping the cheeks of every late Cold War premium. AIM 9m against 11.3 is not fair at all.

Su-27/F-15 engines are worse that they should be > "Cope US/Russian main"
I love the f15, it was my favorite when i was a child when it was the top dog.
I play alot of sim so the tactic are a bit different.
Just discovered your channel. Subscribed specifically so i can get your decal for my American Lineup
Which afterburner mod is this?
btw the AIM-54 was buffed quite a bit i think you should take another look at it
Im currently in progress getting either this or the F16A
Now, I dont personally like the F15. I personally prefer the Falcon, but i still wanna ask if I should get this or the Falcons first?
Yea yea i know the differences, strengths and weaknesses but im in a deadlock
Just grind the F-16A and turnfight everything, you'll have way more fun even stockgrinding compared to the obnoxious process of the F-15.
The current F-15 definitely doesn't belongs to 12.3, but it's also not as much 12.7 capable as the gripen or Su-27, gaijin just needs to decompress the damn BR so these vehicles have more places to go
Eow, I love the F-15 too but I have to be a F-14B pilot, just to help reduce the numbers of enemy team. Usually have a decent chance of removing 1 or 2 enemy planes. With a good amount of counter measures, it can survive for a bit and help waste more enemy missiles.
My luck with the F-15 is probably bad, I only get uptiers vs entire teams of SU-27s. It's lots of fun if you don't have to deal with dozens of R-27ERs though. AIM-9M helps a lot.
those cinematics go crazy
Do you have a link for that skin, Seek? It's dope
laughs in f104S with 2 sparrows and no gun
lol, the F-15 outrages the F-16C with the smaller intakes irl
I wish i could love this plane since it one of my favourite, but the stock grind for this damn thing was so ass i have to GE my way through the sparrow and 4 9L just so i can actually do something in the constant up tiering to 12.7 (that being said i am in no mean a great player and i fly f16c way more often so there's that)
ahhh, "Johns" are crying once again for balance and begging for goodies from the devs. Same "Johns", same "Johns" as always
damn your decal looks cool af
countermeasures is not a preference, am sorry but more countermeasures never hurt anyone and is a complete survival nessesity at top tier... my opinion is that anyone with over 120 cc deserve to go higher in br since you can just spam them and avoid so many IR missiles, if anyone counters this I have a counter counter saying that more CC means higher chance of surviving 9Ms and IRCM in general.... u can one flare a R73 and Magic 2 but you cannot one flare a 9M unless the enemy plane fired it of on a flare lock :/ or its a head on.
