Fun fact the F-15 Eagle was designed in direct response to the MiG-25 Foxbat. When the USSR announced the MiG-25 the US thought it was going to be a new generation air superiority fighter that the US had nothing in its arsenal to compete with. After learning some very hard lessons in Vietnam and it's trials with the F4 Phantom, the US Military Industrial Complex set out to create it's own air supremacy fighter that was supposed to beat out the USSR's MiG-25. As it turns out much like today that Russia builds absolute dogshit and the MiG-25 was just a glorified bomber hunter, not an air superiority fighter. The F-15 however has since become the single most successful and dominant air supremacy fighter in human history with a combat record of 104 Kills to 0 losses, across almost 50 years, a 1/2 a century of pure DOMINANCE. That's right the F-15A entered service in 1976, in 2026 that will mark 50 years of the F-15's air dominance in service, and it's still one of the single most lethal aircraft in the skies today.

My favorite Christmas movie is the Polar Express. Last year my wife got me a replica bell from the end of the film. I'll post a pic of it in the discord if anyone is interested. I am 99.9% sure this is the same Christmas music from last year. I also went looking for the composer, but I cannot find anyone attributed to it. I don't want to leave a link in a comment so I'll paste what you need to search for to find the list of the composers. "war thunder soundtracks" EDIT: Also the section @25:31 made me grin so much lol

The fact that US doesnt have their f15c yet the f15j is a f15c. Thats bullshit lol

Phly is phlying around with a sedan hanging from each wing, and he wonders why its sluggish lol

[@fullyverified7491]

Those external fuel tanks would be adding so much drag you shouldnt have taken them imo

[@ianp1012]

It would not at all suprise me if the mighty snail is giving us a less than historical version of the F15 specifically to ensure some semblance of balance remains at 12.0+ top tier, (however little there is already).

That’s absolutely what’s happening because they can’t have their precious Russian vehicles out performed
