I know that the F-86 and the MIG-21 are in vogue and all the rage, but has anyone flown the F-15C lately? Not withstanding the AIM-120 lawn darts it is armed with (another story for another time)
That plane handles like a pig. With any positive G loading it tends to get ass heavy and start rolling uncontrollably. Feels like I'm flying Operation Flash Point or ARMA planes all over again (the dragging ass-end on a pinhead effect).
The AI seems effected by it as well (or the AI has just been dumbed down on one side). Ran a few force on force scenarios with anything the Russians hand (Mig-21s, FLANKERS, etc.) against two flights of F-15s. Nine times out of ten, the F-15s get slaughtered; they do not do much maneuvering, they seem obvious to missiles tracking on them, and their Aim-120s turn into gravity bombs as soon as they leave the rails.
