This Top Tier* Jet Slams Wallet Warriors | F-15J War Thunder 

F-15J, F-15A, Baz. Basically all the same jets with slightly different weights and radars, and mostly have the same loadout. Japanese Mains: YES! A jet we can actually call our own! (F-16AJ in the background, 'That's fair') Israeli Mains: YES! We can finally compete with the big dogs! (F-16 Netz in the background, 'What am I chopped liver!?') Russian Mains: Finally a worthy opponent, Our Battle will be LEGENDARY! (F-16 in the background, 'Am I a joke to you!?', Mig-29 'just let it go brother, it'll be less painful') Some American Mains: (dies by playing F-15 incorrectly) Broken Ass Missile, Broken Ass Plane! This is proof of Russian Bias Everyone: WTF!? F-15A: *hurt feelings* Baz+F-15J: (places wings on F-15As air intakes) don't worry, you'll find a player that loves you General Lee: (Glowing Red Eyes) APOLOGIZE NOW!

The f15 at 12.3 is gaijins apology to Lee for making him wait so long for it

12.3 is borderline criminal

New balance changes and the F-15s remain unchanged lmaooo

We need decompression very very bad. Maybe they kept the F15a at 12.3 because the F15C will be coming with AMRAAMs?

Never appreciated how much effort Daniel W. Johnson put into the F-15 drawings in his Transformers comics until now.

HOLY CRAP THAT MEMBER COUNT

I've had some crazy head on shots with the AAM-3... literally shot at a guy 9km away head on (Sinai another F-15). It hit. I've seen 9M's do some crazy long range head ons so I started to wonder and... yea it worked lol. Haven't tried it in awhile, it happened a couple months ago. Maybe like 3 or 4 instances where it locked head on at pretty extreme range... probably cuz it was on a hot map vs hot aircraft. Try doing it to a Gripen it refuses to lock like that.

I heard the comment about the F-15 vs Tornado f.3 and got reminded of one of the most embarrassing plays ever. I was playing the Tornado GR.1, simply bombing to spade. I already fired off my two missiles and said fuck it, I go to engage an F-15, nothing to really lose. He is the last guy. Somehow, SOMEHOW, I managed to get on his tail and he chose to verticle and try stall on me? Idk if he was trying to get me to stall first so he could get on me but in the end I ended up firing a burst of the mausers and killed it. Still happy about my kill

Was reading about it, F-15JSI does seem to still be in the works. It's more other situations around the world pushing the program to the backburner while other stuff is developed.

What I'm more interested in is that late last year, Smin said that the Hungarian air tree wasn't coming any time soon, only for it to come two updates later, and as far as I know, he hasn't said that the Typhoon isn't coming soon either, so I reckon that it may be coming with three updates or so.

Another nice video Lee, I've tried using the F-15 but it's wings always seem to pop off even in level flight or when going defensive and it has really put me off the eagle. Any tips to avoid ripping wings off? I feel like I'm flying the F8U2 all over again. Don't have the issue in other airframes it's literally just the eagle.

I'm coping for the F-2

A Top Tier compression is needed ASAP.

No Lee, the f15 had flares as early as 1978. the only "flareless" f15s were in national guard service in the 1980's

Now, they Could bring in the F-2 and give that the AIM-120 on that, even tho it only carries the AAM-4

8:05 so glad to see Russia getting AMRAAMs next update 🙏 I think there's only going to be two F-15Js looking at the way they've handled previous aircraft like this (F-4EJ), but there isn't really any consistency with what Gaijin does anyways....

F-15 is such a silly goober

6:07 The One missile TRIPLE kill is crazy lol

4:29 The AAM-3 possesses a different IRCCM than the 9M; the 9M shuts off its seeker head and uses its internal computer to predict where the target goes, whereas the AAM-3’s IRCCM functions similarly to the R-73.

can you make guide on which planes to use to grind tiers for japan and tips on how to use them?

I'm grinding for this exact plane rn, have you thought about doing a video on the f4 ej kai?

The f15 suffers for 4 reasons, helmet mount displays are king in current meta, f15 in the American tree is cheapest top tier jet that you don’t have to grind further for given that most new players start American aviation, wing rip from maneuvers that players were doing in their f4’s and f5’s. Playing against a9m’s and r73’s in the same lobby makes it very hard for new players to determine what strategy they need to employ to beat the missile coming their way when they were just playing at br that requires max 3 flares from any aspect to beat everything at the br.

Im still curious about what other nations, specifically Germany, will get with the fox 3 update. If its the F-4 ICE then its DoA but I have heard an idea of them getting an F-18. Who knows at this point.

Didnt the Japanes had the F15j and j-kai? maybe they add the kai version for the time being bevor they give them the aam4

isn't there a F-15J with a IRST pod on the nose too?

Was about to buy MIG-23ML to grind Russia but this vid made me concerned about my survivability (Bought it and in 50 games i got 58 kills)

It's pretty fun though.

I'm still trying to spade my eagle and to say idk how to play it would be an understatement Atleast I don't bomb

Anyone else having issues with the F15 constantly locking onto chaff? (enemy doesn't even have to be notching for it to happen to me)

Even in a downtier though, f15 is still going to be facing Mirage 2ks, and assuming that the M2k is piloted by a skilled individual, the f15 gonna get dogwalked by M2k.

Flight performance and kits yes. Amount of them in game, players in them clapping? No, when they start dominating the lower BR s they will do something about it.

F16 AJ or F15J? I tend to f15, i have the F16 MLU already.

i would be glad if they moved them to 12.7 if they gave them aim9m as stock grind instead of putting the aim9m at the last mod when everyone else at 12.3+ starts with irccm missiles stock

The reason why the F-15J gets the most downtiers isn't cause japan lacks a 12.7, it's due to how few people play their 11.3-12.0 offerings, due to the fact that asside from the F-16AJ, they all are kinda meh, and barely anyone plays them. Also, the F-15J isn't an F-15C, it's based on the F-15C, but due to some domestically made parts being slightly different (and a good bit of japanese copium over their pride), it's technically it's own unique variant

I love this skin

Unlocked the f-15 and GE'ed missiles. First game was a downtier....I got 7 kills.

Take this！航空迎撃ミサイル 7 マイク「スパロー」(AIM-7M)

The F15 is kinda in a weird place. If the other 12.7 go to 13.0 then the F15A should go to 12.7 but it is kinda in a weird place

6:45 gaijin artificially gimp something in the Japanese tech tree?? Never…

Ballancing by stats is tbh the best way. If stats shows it shouldn't be on 12.7 than it actually should not be there 🤓

would rather they add the f-15DJ as japans amraam carrier

pretty confident the 15 is only 12.3 still because the 15c is coming with arh missiles. and, it sucks. decompress

When’s your birthday? Mines July 8th. Feels weird to say I’m gonna be 23 already

those poor wallet warriors, so did you GE all the modifications or what?

6:10 Avarage american team match

The F15A is honestly miles better than the F15J. The J feels too heavy and cumbersome

I saw F-15's in a match the other day asking how many bombs that it takes to kill a base. The absolute state!

If I can be honest here, I dont like the F-15. I can't make it work. It has everything, yet nothing. I do badly in it, but I can't notice what I'm doing wrong. The jack of all trades, master of none just isn't working for me. Yes, I know its a massive skill issue, and I agree with that. But when I plane or tank doesn't have any advantage I can exploit, then I don't know what to do really.

Wassup lee?

LMAOOO 6:10

8:15 some of you guys are overrating the F-15 in such a silly way while ignoring the fact that in uptiers sucks terribly, not to mention that -you'll have to forgive me to drag this to the discussion- during your F-15 stream you didn't managed to get more than 3 frags at 12.3-12.7 lobbies. This plane curbstomps at the rank is right now because it is borderline superior to its current counterparts, but it is not an absolute superiority, hence why it excels at downtiers, but gets clapped at uptiers. 12.3 is okay and stop the gaslighting around this topic.

AND MY AMERICAN F-15 JUST GETS FUCKED OVER EVERY MATCH CAUSE ITS LAST GEN SHITTY MISSILES.

This jets only peers at 12.3 are the F16 Netz and Mirage 20005F. The F15 gets significantly more, and better, missiles than both. It also has increased survivability over both with its countermeasures suite. It dog walks the Mirage 2000 flight performance wise, and is totally competetive against the F16A, being marginally worse in a dogfight. Not only is it much better than its peers, but it can easily stand toe to toe with the MiG 29s, Mirage 4000, and in my opinion, maybe the F16C. Its got relatively similar weapons performance, better survivability, and better flight performance. All of this is irrelevant anyways, because even if the F15 was the worst 12.7, it would make far more sense for it alone to suffer, than to let it bully an entire BR underneath it. This is the one hill im willing to die on lol

I mean I've seen your stream for this videos creation. Sure the aircraft has great performance but you rarely got to use that because R27 bullshit, gripen bullshit etc. So maybe gaijin had a point trying to keep this thing fun sometimes without it's HMD, only 4 good missiles in an HMD IR meta.

the original title was better

I once had a guy tell me an F-15 with Aim-120A would finally be able to put up a fight against an Su-27 with R-27ER (Implying it's still worse) and I think that explains allot about why the F-15 is still 12.3... A top 3 airframe without a real weakness with top 5 weaponry which is shafted by bottom 10% level players. Potential like that facing F-4J's, Mig-23ML(A/D)'s, and J37D's is just criminal...

A another day a another victory for the f15

i cant wait for the june update to fly my mirage with mica missiles im so hyped for mica but i will play amraams and r77s too (but mica is the best)

I think F-15J can use AAM-4 because I think AAM-4 is not that strong. Afaik AAM-4 have 100km range with non AESA radar so I think it is kind of ok just give it AAM-4 (4B uses AESA and 120km it is another story.) I'm hoping for AAM-3+AAM-4(15J) and AAM-4B+AAM-5B(15J Kai) as the two tech tree Eagle for Japan. BTW only the basement guy play the game so unless he is the one balancing, it is not surprised that Gaijin use player stats for balancing.

Game really pisses me off

:D

an undertiered american jet... nothing new

FIRST WOOOOOOOOOOOOO

3:42 Part of wing gone! Wait, does that mean... So, have you found a reason to fight yet? Buddy.
