f 15 perfectly manuverable

^

Did you really create this solely to troll the other thread?

May we call this counter trolling? :)

Seriously though, does this not feel a bit redundant ?

I have to agree with the OP, the Eagle's FM is great.

Now, all of you who hate this thing's awesome performance...Wait until the Hornet and Typhoon come out. One will run rings around you for ~270 degrees, the other will go uphill and laugh at you.

If you want an Eagle that's a bit more brick-ish...Look for a combat loaded F-15E - Edit: Or a three bag C, though I think we went through that already...LOL!

I, for one, when flying in the F-15 am so perfectly impressed by how manuverable the plane is that I often forget that I am not actually flying the real thing.

I also contemplate that if I had a girlfriend, I would remark to her that because the F-15 is so perfectly manuverable that I would vie that my skills against any data produced trying to prove otherwise.

I am glad someone came out and said what we have all been thinking...well done chaps!

Despite its impressive size, the F-15 is a nimble navigator.

The F-15 is a predator.

It has 2 sidewinders and 6 AMRAAMS

The F-15 is surely is maneuverable, but it still can't outclimb an R27:(

Make the Eagle great again:P

i too have found the f-15 to be maneuverable.

I like that.

The F 15 is very manuvrable. And Yeah its fine xD my favorite plane in DCS.

I am unsure of the Eagle is, infact, maneuverable.

I was just tired of seeing that other thread heading every time I entered the forum. :-)

Don't be led to the dark side by disbeliebers. The Eagle is very perfectly manuverable.

Accelerates in the climb, agile at low altitude, comfortable at high altitude, and lethal in the attack. Also this vid show that even under heavy, heavy load the Eagle still performs brilliantly.

The F-15 isn't just maneuverable, but its agile - You cannot say the same thing about Su-27 or MiG-29.

The F-15 is also highly flexible and supple.

Don't necessarily disagree with that but what do you mean by 'agile'? Roll rate?

Slightly O/T: I can totally understand why McDonnell Douglass called their aircraft "Eagle". I read a book about them after hearing that the Dutch police are training eagles to catch drones in mid-air. My immediate thought was that propellers on a drone would hurt the eagle's feet. Nope. Turns out eagles are the avian equivalent of honey badgers: flying death machines!!

Yep, roll/pitch/yaw rate, probably some other factors I'm not thinking of atm...The FCS plays a part as well I think.

Photoshop. :lol:

yeah but i have to wonder when i compare it to a

how can it be realistic for eagle to lift such a load? ?? ???

hornet cannot lift so eagle should not lift.

The Eagle has 8 talons

The F-15 Eagle can carry up to 8 missiles

Coincidence? I think not.

good catch i love it when developers leave easter eggs like that xdddd

ahem

Not just the rate.. in degrees per second.. but what leads to rate - rotational acceleration in all axes... it truly is the nimblest of predators!

I wonder though.. since slow speed scissoring and "hanging midair" is quite a common occurrence in DCS dogfights, imagine having an RCS system installed, like in spacecraft, tiny little thrusters for rotational control, even at zero speed! Would be better than vectored thrust in zero speed situations.

ahem

F15sa

The F-15SA is a new version for the Saudi Arabian Air Force. The F-15SA will have a modern fly-by-wire flight control system in place of the hybrid electronic/mechanical system used by all previous F-15s. The variant includes the APG-63(v)3 active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar, digital electronic warfare systems (DEWS), infrared search and track (IRST) systems, and other advanced systems. It also includes a redesigned cockpit originally intended for the F-15SE.[98][123][124] The fly-by-wire system will allow the carriage of weapons on the previously unused outer wing weapon stations.[125]
