I've tried F-15E today, this module sets some new standards, it's awesome.

I find F-15E cannot turn, it cannot climb, not a plane you want to be in when engaging dogfight.

For the A2G, it mostly have laser-guided and dumb bombs -- for now.

For me it's a bomb truck, pure and simple. A big fast fancy bomb truck.

 

Definitely needs more variations of "Boom!"

Stick extension? For aircraft that use a long throw centre stick it’s the only way to go.

I know: that's why I have been using one since I started with DCS 😉 
My setup is in my signature.

Have you seen this video from Gvad? He dogfights a Mirage 2000 (starts about 7:30). Basically he says stay fast and use the vertical.

Poor BFM on the Mirage pilot's part.

Perfectly put. XD

Loving the SE so far with a few bumps along the way by the learning curve already ironed out. Delightful to have its capabilities. Big engines with a pre planned point in the earth to delete having just a massive radar as a flashlight in the dark.

Just waiting for JDAMS, personally, for some SAM sites deletion.

For now is a self escort bomb lasing machine with an immense payload and fuel tank.

Excited for what's coming next for it!

That!

 

This thing is the Space Shuttle of Death I have longed for. Fast, long range, heavy load, fancy tech toys, it's got it all.

the attention to detail is great but imma be honest, the glare on the MPDs from the fingerprints is incredibly annoying

 

Flip your helmet visor down.  LSHF + N.  Boom.  Amazing polarization filter.

I was thinking on starting with the Viper (after completing several Hornet campaigns), but seeing the good comments about the F-15E module... what would you recommend right now? F-16C or F-15E?

F-16C has the easiest control scheme because the jet was designed by geniuses, but the F-15E is not that far behind.

Loving the F15E here. It's in a very good state for a just out of the oven EA. I've encountered bugs, but nothing gamebreaking.

The attention to detail is lovely, it has come with a good manual, a great book that I'm really enjoying, the radar modeling is... omg the first time I went low and started seeing false returns like I've seen in real live footage of fighters going low.. I thought this should be a standard in DCS.

All in all Razbam has become my favorite 3rd party along with Heatblur.

They are in a great position to make some of my favorite planes in the future: F15c, Ab8b plus (radar variant)...also a M2000-5 would be great

Glare is from sun light and is realistic. Many modules have it modeled the same.

If only there was a way to model the pilot putting up his hand to block the sun to see it better

Is there any chance to be able to play the Baltic Dragon's campaign if I buy it now? 

The one for F-15E is not ready yet. But I think I can refly The Georgian War in the SE now 🙂

You can also very easily edit the default ED F-15C campaign to fly it with the -E instead. You only need to check radio frequencies and make sure you remember which tacan you set for the tanker in case ever need to do IFR (you shouldn't in that campaign).

The module is great, but it could more stand-off weapons. I also can’t wait for the lightening t pod, at the the least.

It's Early Access. More will come later. Check this unofficial Notso's FAQ:

Indeed this one looks real promising, among the fleet of DCS aircraft I've owned over the past 10+ years. Seems to fly real good, though somewhat twitchy in the pitch. Is it so in the real jet?

As for the curve setting for the stick, I put in a 25% for pitch for my WH HOTAS. While I'm quite a "purist" too when it comes to simming, I also know it would be bluffing myself to pretend a non-extended / modded original HOTAS should act and feel the same as the long pole in the actual jet. And 25% seem to work out nicely.

For EA I find it one of the best releases I have experienced in DCS. She flies beautifully, low speed handling feels great. Systems are usable, no gamebreaking stuff left out, all in all I am looking forward to spending a lot of time with this module, and watching it grow!

You mean like the WSO not being able to IFF lol

Just been in VR with this bird and is easily one of the lightest on the system out all the others for me it's like flying a warbird I have only navigated landing e.t.c no weapons' but very impressed.

it maybe just the honey moon period but love it well done Razbam.

It just feels so good in VR.

Yesterday I purchased SE after reading this thread. I was undecided before. The only gripe from me is radar contact appeared to be smaller than the C version. Maneuverability is just expected but not that bad.
Darn......my wallet hates you guys lol.

Happy flying.
