F-15s Unrealistic flight model & turn rate at slow airspeeds

ED you guys seriously need to fix this planes flight model. In the aerobatic server i have seen an f-15 do 30 degree of AOA in a high alpha.. Also in 104th server I have seen F-15s Pulling these quick tight turns at slow airspeeds even with wing tanks. Lastly A buddy of mines was able to perform a cobra in the F-15...

 

Since when did the F-15 fly like a F-18/F-16/Su-27?? I mean this damn plane is doing tighter turns than an su-27 like for real? Its like you guys want the red side to suffer and blue side to have an easier fight :mad::mad: Get your together ED.

If your claims are based on factual evidence against aircraft performance data then I would suggest you replace your current bather with said arguments.

 

It is useless to post angry opinion pieces based on "I feel like" as basis for flight model improvement.

I've seen F-15's turn on a dime in the overhead. They are spectacular!

Also, AOA and alpha is the same thing.

 

They aren't or rather rather they needn't be. There is true and local AOA as the air flow around the sensor, wing edge, etc. can be different than the overall angle between the airframe and free stream.

 

Then the increment in the cockpit gauge might be "units" and not degrees. And "20 units of AOA" might not be "20 degrees of AOA." And so one should not expect in general for a cockpit AOA gauge to agree exactly with the DCS F2 bar readout.

Maybe you should go yell at the 'unrealistic' real F-15's turning with over 40 degrees of Alpha ...

That's really a non-issue. A slow aircraft can appear to turn very quickly, and there are tricks to make it go a little faster even. The bags might be empty - I mean so what if they have bags on the wings?

Maybe its your own flying that needs analysis? :D

 

Lastly A buddy of mines was able to perform a cobra in the F-15...

 

No he wasn't. I suspect you don't understand what a cobra is :)

 

Since when did the F-15 fly like a F-18/F-16/Su-27??

 

Never. It flies like an F-15.

 

I mean this damn plane is doing tighter turns than an su-27 like for real?

 

I don't know, I want to say 'L2BFM' but instead of being mean, I'll say that you can easily out-turn a Su-27 when you know what you're doing and the Su-27 pilot doesn't.

 

Its like you guys want the red side to suffer and blue side to have an easier fight :mad::mad: Get your shit together ED.

 

How about you prove that something is wrong instead of ranting :)

This is a Perfect Example of a non constructive rant.

 

No Actual Data Given, No Accurate Description of the Problem vs Real World Data,

 

Just a "it's Broke, FIX it Rant".
