[@goldgamercommenting2990]

They need to put later F-15s Besides if you have amraams it would be an over kill and that means… rank 9 But let’s be fair, when the F-15 was devolved, amraams didn’t even exist. Also gaijin did pay attention more on the F-15’s history, not much on the aircraft itself. But that is actually a good thing since the F-15 is a flying lifting body, or in simple words, fly with one wing. That’s is shocking since if the enemy shot your wing off, you can still fly and get away. Ain’t that horrific

[@LongTimeAgoNL]

It's interesting... The F-15 is 10 years older than the SU-27. It's not its "main competitor", BUT, in War Thunder it is, because, well Russian planes need a touch of handicapped love in terms of BR and generation placement ;) The moment the SU-27 was released it was already surpassed by the F-16 and F-18. But it had tech that was compare-able to the F-14, with a worse radar still. So then in comes the question... Why is the SU-27 so good in WT?

Year of adoption or creation doesn't matter. Capability of the airframe and weapons it carries is what is considered.

Q: Would you ever be willing to add something to low tier such as maybe a scout plane for the allies and a V-1 bomb for germany and italy, and perhaps a kamikaze plane for japan that would work like a combat drone where you could spawn it in the middle of a match? (if you choose my comment you don’t have to read this but to everyone else, the scout plane will work exactly like scout drones but instead a plane, you could perhaps instead add this as an upgrade rather than a spawnable for light vehicles, the V-1 will be launched from a base similar to helis and once it hits the ground it’ll maybe have the force of perhaps a 750lb bomb. the kamikaze plane will be fitted with guns and bombs still, but it’ll leave flames on the ground that can destroy light targets if they are open topped, and maybe a small blast radius similar to a 250lb bomb.) if you would add this it would be a great feature imo.

The F-16C is very much so the more capable of the US planes. The F-15 is a great fighter, but the lack of HMD makes it less effective at top tier.
