I hate the F15

Oh and by the way, the real life F-15 holds the fastest time to climb record in the world, so if anything it climbs like a "homesick angel"

 

I believe that's the F-22 now. Although the slow climb is as much if not more impressive to watch. And in sim combat against F-15's it Regularly chalked up kill ratios of 40-0.

... and a pilot! :megalol:

 

Get your terminology right - it's an SSI: Seat-Stick Interface. :P

[hassata]

P.S. Just to clarify, 40-0=1 f22 shot down 40 F-15s, although you have to take Air Force exercises of that nature with a grain of salt. They want f-22s real bad.

 

Edit: Brain fart. I must have misunderstood. How the hell can one plane carry that much armament? It was an AF pilot talking in a youtube video. (AN RAF exchange pilot I think). Maybe he meant 1 flight of 4 or something?

 

Edit 2: 144 to 0 lol (though I don't know if they were all F-15s).

 

 

Luckiest British so-and-so in the world.

Ya, but didn't the Su-27 "P-42" take all those records in the 80's?

[GGTharos]

That prototype did, yes. And yet the F-15 still out-paces a flanker when both are combat-configured, and not by a small margin.

My point is that the F-15 doesn't hold the records many think it does at this date.
