Regarding ECM are you sure it denies the F-15 a TWS shot, even after burn through? Awesome guide though!

But isn't an HOJ way less accurate than a usual TWS shot? The missile will have worse guidance in pure pursuit.

When engaging ECM can an F-15 still use TWS? What I understand is that is not possible, however after burn through it seems like the eagle can lock a jamming Su with TWS, not sure though.

Thank you for the help, but I am trying to do this for FC3 jets.

How can I set the msp button to dump flares continuously as long as it is held? Note: I'd be happy if this can be done without scripts, but if necessary please explain clearly I'm not good at scripting. Thank you

This feature is usually disabled by the servers.

Given that in BVR we have to wait significantly till after Rmax to fire, is it better to carry the R-27 rather than the ER since it is more maneuverable ?

During the first ultimate argument campaign mission, the game crashes upon reaching the last waypoint.

I feel like the missiles are back to their previous state with this hotfix (awesome physics improvements aside)

It seems like the F-15's thrust has been fixed. Has anyone had the chance to test if the turning performance between the two has changed?

In anticipation for the release I wanted to know how the Mirage compares to some of the FC3 fighters. So say in the hands of equally good pilots who could use their planes to maximum potential, would the m2000 defeat the F-15 or Su-27?

This looks like a Su-27SM because of the IRST's position.

I don't know how common this is, but if you hold the speed break(W) the plane's limiter goes off(I.e. you can pull the stick back fully) while keeping the FBW on.

In this post GGTharos mentions that the issue with the F-15 having more thrust than usual is outdated. Is this confirmed? Did the FM get updated because TRO is still there?

Not really, the f-15 pilot will probably recognize you fired from a far position and will know the ER is coming and isn't a significant threat from that range.

We already have the Su-33, hopefully it'll get a pfm at some point.

So what you're saying is that if the two planes are just circling around each other at their corner speeds, then right now the F-15 has the advantage. The only thing the Su-27 has is its instantaneous rate?

Funnily enough the record was set by the Mig-25 in 1977 and it was around 37,000 meters IIRC. I don't think the flight models are completely tuned for high altitudes.

Yep that was it. It seems impossible to drag the Eagle out of speed, well unless you have less than 10 hours of flight time in the eagle like me:lol: Even if the pilot messes up at one point a few seconds of relaxed turning are more than enough to get it back to speed. In regard to other replies in the GNR server there are no weapons on the pylons.

I was in the Guns and roses server a couple of days ago, and I was dogfighting an F-15. I believe both planes start out with 40% fuel. When I forced the F-15 into a turn fight where he was weirdly enough able to out-turn me (I was maintaining 600-700kmph) even the F-15 pilot was surprised. We switched roles, when holding 320-400 knots I am always able to out turn the Su-27, even when my speed drops below 320 knots. I thought the Su-27 had better performance, should I not force the eagle into a turn fight? It seems that even when the eagle slows down it regains speed really quickly. While the Su-27 just becomes a slouch below 550kmph and refuses to gain airspeed.

Could you elaborate? Asymmetry resulting from what exactly?

A few questions: - What's an M-link? - Doesn't the rwr IRL indicate a launch when the launch platform is in range? - Why does a passive seeker need a radar operating in STT mode? (SEAD missiles don't seem to require that)

I found out that there seems to be a passive homing version of the R-27, named R-27EP. Might it be added to the game?

When I have a lock in the F-15 or Su-27, the cannon reticle jumps around sometimes. Is this due to lag? or does chaff do this? IIRC the Su aims the cannon with its EOS and shouldn't be confused by chaff.

So let me get this straight, the majority agrees both main fighters have bad BVR missiles. In addition to that the F-15 has a bad(how??) radar. While the flanker has no operating plane to plane data link and no AWACS for the usual data link to work in the first place. All of this while while the flanker has barely any decent TWS ability(since everyone flies with ECM on)(I really wish ED would tell us more about the flanker radar modeling) and SARH. Makes it clear to why the 104th puts F-15s on both sides.
