I expected them to at least wait a week to nerf it at least they did it now because i was about to spend 3 days grinding it but decided id wait for the inevitable nerf to see if its still worth it after
Gaijin: We can't have this plane be too strong, let's nerf it after everybody bought it with GE Playerbase: Then why did you introduce an OP flight model? Gaijin: .....
@@jenniferdingus5309 almost every F-15E or Su-34 that you saw on patch day was purchased by exchanging GE for research points. This is incredibly expensive... but as you can see, there are a lot of people who do this every patch just to fly the new vehicle before everyone else.
why would a game that would make more money if they had something overpowered so that more people would just buy it with real money when it's op and then nerf it after, what a hard question to answer...
I ran a few tests with the F15I before and after the nerf, and from 0 to Mach 2 it's only around 15-20 seconds slower. This means it's still around 30-45 seconds faster than the F15C to Mach 2, and about a minute and a half faster than the SU27SM. It gets quite noticeable afterwards in how quick it gets to Mach 2.5. However it's still somehow managing to nearly sustain 9Gs without much energy bleed once at those high speeds. Bottom line is that it's gone from being the best jet for Air RB by a significant margin, to being.... still the best jet for Air RB by a significant margin. It's so Flankover :(
@@cagingskies9584 it doesn't reach Mach 2.5 at all anymore. Not with a combat load and decent fuel levels. With 8 missiles and only 9 minutes of fuel, it will barely reach Mach 2.3 at 12km. Like I said, the 15e(don't have the I) in a normal match will rarely reach Mach 2. Though i do agree it's gone from the best jet to.... the best jet. All in saying is there is a VERY noticeable difference
@@lthotpocket8259 I was running my tests with a completely clean airframe, so I reckon that's why I'm getting to a higher speed. This is outside my realm of certainty, but I don't *think* the F15E should be able to hit Mach 2.5 in anything but a clean configuration anyways, so that's probably for the best.
This game is hitting a point where it needs to make some pretty serious changes to its battle ratings. It’s impossible to maintain both realism and game balance when adding modern 4th gen NATO aircraft. The USA/NATO airframes are so vastly superior to their peer adversaries that they have to forgo realism and nerf a plane many hundreds of miles per hour below what it’s realistic performance is to maintain game balance. If the battle ratings weren’t so compressed, they’d be able to add airframes and weaponry to match realistic performance, and maintain some semblance of balance.
I’m genuinely tired of it as well, the game can’t handle adding better and better fighters because there well BETTER. They nerfed the su27 the mig29 and many planes have significantly less thrust because there just to good, my F-15E should be a literal missle but it can’t be because gaijins game isn’t ready
Exactly. They should never have gone beyond Gen 3 imo. The maps are simply not suited for BVR combat. Also thank you for being one of the first people who play this game to finally admit that Russian tech is fraudulent garbage.
im still a strong believer of the J10's performance, the 85 degree radar locks with the fastest radar in the game. and F16 like flight performance with 8 missiles, just unbeatable
Man why are there actually people who think this is an unrealistic nerf and the F-15E actually could fly Mach 2.3 at 10,000 meters while accelerating in a full pull turn.
but but but but uhhhh F-15 BEST JET EVER! It could like got MACH 33 and uhhhhh could pull 30gs and uh ub uh u h uh..... US mains at their finest...I watched an F-14B and an F-16C lose a 2v1 to an F-20 (lvl 30 account) and let him pull clear away from them....I wonder how such people reach top tier.
@Arda0zkan it is fast, but not as fast. Try to pull 8-9g at high alt, you'll see a drastic speed decrease. In wt it accelerated. Also try to accelerate up to mach2 with am full aim120 load. Eventually, you'll get there, but afterwards a long time and a lot of fuel burnt. In wt it accelerated to Mach 2 in about 3 minutes
I like how comments were like "I KNEW IT WE PREDICTED THIS", yeah it was so obvious even 4 year old jimmy could see it. The most overpowered plane ever added gets nerfed who could have seen that coming 😱

It's still an F15C with more engine power. That's pretty much it. So yeah it's better than the 15C by a little bit but they're quite similar in play style. The extra power just makes life easier
AIM120 A and B are identical on the game. In real life, the only difference was a logistical change that allows the aim120B to be updated easily without as much disassembly of the missile to access the card.

@@mrm9069 Honestly SU-57 might come with the 4.5+ jets as it would be VERY unpowered if included with 5th gen jets, even going off official russian reports it doesn't hold a candle to the likes of a F-22 or J-20
So glad I haven’t spent ge on this at all the only people mad are the ones who spent ge to get it and for me I have the f15c already so I’m not really worried about the nerf

No plane irl ever gets to Mach 2 in practical situations. You should read into how top speeds are measured and tested. It’s very unrealistic and will never happen in actual combat situations. That said, F15Es top speed is Mach 2.33
I mean at altitude doing Mach 2 was realistic but I suppose we never do get the realistic flight models of any American airframes I feel like it was modeled pretty realistically after flying it and reading flight manuals on it and other documents before the “nerf” tho it looks like it will still be a dominant fighter in the game
Mach 2 basically never happens in real life. Aircraft top speeds are tested and recorded under very unrealistic scenarios that would never apply to a combat airplane. That said, the F15Es top speed is Mach 2.33 anwyay
Thank god it got nerfed? So now jets at its br can actually catch up and face it normally? Whats so bad about flying the best plane at its br which is still the best at its br after the nerf
It was nerfed on the dev server though. It was originally going to have the Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-220s. American mains complained hard enough about the F-15E having weaker engines that they changed them to the F100-PW-229s. I wonder why they were gonna give it weaker engines to begin with? 🤔
Idk but it’s funny the Israeli f15E had the PW-229’s off rip and they thought yeah I don’t think American players will mind if they get the weak engines for theirs when hundreds of F15E’s have the 229’s installed.
@@LTFP-fw3it back on the dev server US mains were crying about the F-15E having weaker engines while the F-15I had the PW-229s from the start (because it was built with the 229s in mind irl). They probably wanted to see how the stronger engines would have preformed on a F-15 in a nation that isn’t entirely common, but after all the cope on the forums they caved and gave the E the 229s, turning it into a biblically accurate F-15 which is ridiculous when you consider all the other aircraft that are artificially gimped in some way.
The problem is it just won't do what it's supposed to be able to. It can't even get close to its supposed top speed. With an empty load out and low fuel it will barely break 1600mph the most I've seen is 1604mph. I have no problem with nerfing it but when you make it slower change the status card because it's just lying when it's listed at 1668. Same as the F15c.
America never has the best version of their own planes. We sell them off and other countries upgrade them. With the turkey feather exhaust on the F15I for example, we decided not to put them on to save money. The Israelis did.
@@SeekerHead Yes fair enough I guess. Just a bit annoying when I see Israel get the better version of every top tier we get. Don't get me started on how they add a plane from 2006 (Su-34) and a plane from 1972/ 1985 (F-15A/E) instead of one from 2011 (F-15 advanced eagle) I'm pretty sure america's newest plane is from before the 90's
@@vorpalmachinethe flankers are already underperforming as they are, adding even more op shit for america because theyre at the same time period doesnt make sense
@@bastianfarstvede8634 F-15E is a multirole fighter, and is better then the F-15C at BVR, as it should be. There is a reason for the F-15EX being based on the F-15E airframe and not the F-15C airframe, its not called F-15CX.
Bruh I brought a tailsman for F15I last day and finished stock grind in 3 or 4 hours. Honestly it was really much op before nerfed, you can just flew to a much much higher alt and speed when the other planes are still climbing. But in GRB, western jets are really unplayable after the nerf on their RWRs, USSR with pantsir and su34 just could smash the top tier GRB, and they never get a huge nerf
Ive lost hope in Top tier Air where playing American Jets for me is like comparing a 2015 Mustang to a 1999 SAAB for Russia. Sure its a car that works the same but the umph just ain't there with the modern tech aswell. Im more concerned about ground battles rn, after this patch when playing the SU27SM in ground with a CAS loudaout, I cannot use anything at all, as in the button for firing missiles/flares/chaff/locking TV missiles or Bombs does not work at all but in Air RB it does work fully even in Test it works however it does not work at all in Ground battles for somereason. First I thought it was a Chinese hacker boy but now trying it out on 5 different games without being able to use it I am very certain that this is a game issue. My buttons have not been reset nor have they been changed they are exactly the same as I've had for over half a year now and it still don't wanna work at all... Its very frustrating seeing a J10A and trying to fire missiles at him with a full on 2 minute chase of me right behind him spamming my missile fire button but nothing happens which is just stupid. If you don't believe me I can send proof cuz this is just wack....
@@SeekerHead Of course if everyone play the game like you in the vid surely can beat most of the soviet jets, but many players are play for chill, not extrem tryhard. For me, soviet jets if playing in close range(especially the ARB will suddenly let enemy see your name for no reason.), it got very good performance with it.
That moment when gaijin wants so bad for a russian plane to be the best in the game, but the F-15E is just better than any of them and they can't do too much to take away from its realism.
man, i have grown as a person. i saw this jet was the way it was and i never bought it through GE, i did nothing. i still wont play, gaijun can kiss my rear
Its funny people want to say the f15e needed a nerf do to thrust blah blah.. if you want a game that is as realistic as war thunder to continue to be realistic then they should do it correctly speaking only on the f15e, it can hit mach before passing the end of the airstrip and what it was when it was implemented into the game was probably the most historically accurate vehicle in the game before the nerf. Thats not just the f15e thats with the f15c as well the difference is ofc newer upgraded engines in the f15e letting it be able to hold a mach 2 cruise at 10k ft above sea level with ease. So nerf is not deserved do to the irl version of this/these planes
@@AlexanderÖberg-j9n In what way is it overperforming? The F-15 is stated to reach speeds of over Mach 2.5 according to the manual. Now it's not going any where near that.
@@Levi-pp8sq The manual doesn't actually say that, only that the maximum structural limit is mach 2.5 above 45,000 feet (13716 meters). Even completely empty, the max actual flight was about 2.45, which by all means is still very impressive but that was also at 45,000 feet+ which you really don't reach in game.
SU-34 needs a nerf nothing can keep with its flight capabilities is just stupid being able to do a backflip right after launching off the run way and then going straight up doing a 360 then fly off like nothing like tf and it's missles are just stupid op
I ge'd it and it was cool but i dont mind the nerf as it was deserrved. i didnt get it because it was fast/op. I got it because i love the 15E and for what it does, i was gunna get even before they gave it the 229's.
yeah but like it’s still faster than the C I bet and the aim120b combination it’s still the best plane in the game but less like op. The change was like basically zero impact😂

I mean at altitude doing Mach 2 was realistic but I suppose we never do get the realistic flight models of any American airframes I feel like it was modeled pretty realistically after flying it and reading flight manuals on it and other documents before the “nerf” tho it looks like it will still be a dominant fighter in the game
Mach 2 basically never happens in real life. Aircraft top speeds are tested and recorded under very unrealistic scenarios that would never apply to a combat airplane.
That said, the F15Es top speed is Mach 2.33 anwyay
Best plane. gets nerfed
and now the best plane is the f15e!!!
Thank god it got nerfed? So now jets at its br can actually catch up and face it normally? Whats so bad about flying the best plane at its br which is still the best at its br after the nerf
It took them 3-4 years to move the ka50 to a higher BR, It used to sit at 10.0 and was the curse of heli pvp.
I’m still having flashbacks from the puma smh
Can't believe they managed to nerf natoid
Can you modify your decal so the eagle and the sidewinder are facing the same way?
I'm not sure what you mean? The eagle is catching the sidewinder out of the air, so it has to be perpendicular to the missile
@@SeekerHead They mean to ask if you could make the missile face the left (or the bird and missile face right). Idk, I like how it looks now
I see you got classified documents pls do continue
imagine spending your time doing charity work by testing the game for some lambo driving CEO, while the grind on the real server is waiting for you
You should do another vid on the Gripen! Specifically the C Gripen from Sweden
how do you change targets so fast on your radar?
Switch target to lock key
It was nerfed on the dev server though. It was originally going to have the Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-220s. American mains complained hard enough about the F-15E having weaker engines that they changed them to the F100-PW-229s. I wonder why they were gonna give it weaker engines to begin with? 🤔
Idk but it’s funny the Israeli f15E had the PW-229’s off rip and they thought yeah I don’t think American players will mind if they get the weak engines for theirs when hundreds of F15E’s have the 229’s installed.
Where are then complaining us mains all I see are Russian mains complaining
@@LTFP-fw3it back on the dev server US mains were crying about the F-15E having weaker engines while the F-15I had the PW-229s from the start (because it was built with the 229s in mind irl).
They probably wanted to see how the stronger engines would have preformed on a F-15 in a nation that isn’t entirely common, but after all the cope on the forums they caved and gave the E the 229s, turning it into a biblically accurate F-15 which is ridiculous when you consider all the other aircraft that are artificially gimped in some way.
but they refuse to drop the su39 down to 10.7 because it is subsonic at 11.7
That should never happen.
@@calimdonmorgul7206 why

Hey SEEK , PLEASE make a video about removing "AN/APX-80/81 Combat Tree" from F-4E phantom in new update...
Does the F-15I (new Israeli F-15) got nerfed too or just the F-15E?
both
The problem is it just won't do what it's supposed to be able to. It can't even get close to its supposed top speed. With an empty load out and low fuel it will barely break 1600mph the most I've seen is 1604mph. I have no problem with nerfing it but when you make it slower change the status card because it's just lying when it's listed at 1668. Same as the F15c.
You need very specific conditions , with alt and temp afaik
Finally i might be able to play this thing without that feeling of playing something, that doesn't have a counter
God forbid america gets the best versions of any of their own planes
America never has the best version of their own planes. We sell them off and other countries upgrade them.
With the turkey feather exhaust on the F15I for example, we decided not to put them on to save money. The Israelis did.
@@SeekerHead Yes fair enough I guess. Just a bit annoying when I see Israel get the better version of every top tier we get. Don't get me started on how they add a plane from 2006 (Su-34) and a plane from 1972/ 1985 (F-15A/E) instead of one from 2011 (F-15 advanced eagle) I'm pretty sure america's newest plane is from before the 90's
and I know I'm being the average America main, but goodness gracious.
@@vorpalmachinethe flankers are already underperforming as they are, adding even more op shit for america because theyre at the same time period doesnt make sense
@@99eryaydude93 I understand it. but all im gonna say is, maybe russia /USSR shouldve made better shit.
according to my friend who tested this
the nerfed f15e can no longer reach mach 2.5 in a straight line anymore
it reaches mach 2.3, its irl top speed is 2.33. close enough
That was a balance not a nerf fr!
Not even balanced still 💀
With all your complaining there gunna make it just a f15c with more bombs ... @@SeekerHead
@@Thebigdrop24god for bid them makeing strike aircraft do there intended role and not play as a fighter
@@bastianfarstvede8634 F-15E is a multirole fighter, and is better then the F-15C at BVR, as it should be. There is a reason for the F-15EX being based on the F-15E airframe and not the F-15C airframe, its not called F-15CX.
Where can I see the changelog? Also, is the Israel version nerfed as well?
Israel is nerfed yes. Ping me on discord I’ll send it to you
Thank GOD
Oh no wonder i could semi keep up with the f15e in my c now
Bruh I brought a tailsman for F15I last day and finished stock grind in 3 or 4 hours. Honestly it was really much op before nerfed, you can just flew to a much much higher alt and speed when the other planes are still climbing. But in GRB, western jets are really unplayable after the nerf on their RWRs, USSR with pantsir and su34 just could smash the top tier GRB, and they never get a huge nerf
They always wait for people to throw ge at busted vehicles to balance it later :D They had almost a month of delay to tweak this plane
Meanwhile the su 34 with 10 missles 8 of them are r77 is at 13.3
quick to nerf a op US vehicle while it took them months to nerf the KA 50, KA 52, SU25SM3, 2s6, Pantsir oh wait that vehicle still is op
min 5:17 .. 8-9g sustain rate at mach 1,45 at 23000 ft, with 5 AIM-120. Nerfed? 😂
Don’t worry US players will still complain
Ive lost hope in Top tier Air where playing American Jets for me is like comparing a 2015 Mustang to a 1999 SAAB for Russia. Sure its a car that works the same but the umph just ain't there with the modern tech aswell.
Im more concerned about ground battles rn, after this patch when playing the SU27SM in ground with a CAS loudaout, I cannot use anything at all, as in the button for firing missiles/flares/chaff/locking TV missiles or Bombs does not work at all but in Air RB it does work fully even in Test it works however it does not work at all in Ground battles for somereason. First I thought it was a Chinese hacker boy but now trying it out on 5 different games without being able to use it I am very certain that this is a game issue.
My buttons have not been reset nor have they been changed they are exactly the same as I've had for over half a year now and it still don't wanna work at all... Its very frustrating seeing a J10A and trying to fire missiles at him with a full on 2 minute chase of me right behind him spamming my missile fire button but nothing happens which is just stupid.
If you don't believe me I can send proof cuz this is just wack....
Did they also nerf the f15c?
No
And now they bugged it so if you have bombs there are issues with launching missiles and dropping countermeasures when above mach ive found
it has been reported
I see they also added Critial damage to the kill feed thats probably overdue too😅
That's what gaijin did all the time, making soviet vehicle supremacy
You’re cooked of u think Russian air is on top rn
@@SeekerHead Most of the maps are small and it let soviet jet have a try on it even their radar sucks
god forbid soviets get a try at the game and not get railed by NATO jets every single game???
:Us mains when they have to stop playing the best plane in the game and have to settle for the best plane in the game:
@@SeekerHead Of course if everyone play the game like you in the vid surely can beat most of the soviet jets, but many players are play for chill, not extrem tryhard. For me, soviet jets if playing in close range(especially the ARB will suddenly let enemy see your name for no reason.), it got very good performance with it.
Oh i wonder why
Top Speed - Mach 2.5 (1,650 mph)
Thrust - 50000 (25000 per engine)

@@ICECAPPEDSKY Blame google
Anyways, if it's 29000 per engine, then its 58000 combined
I researched it in 2days hoping to get in on the fun but here we are. :(
It’s still great!
Its still amazing, it aint as crazy as before but its amazing.
That moment when gaijin wants so bad for a russian plane to be the best in the game, but the F-15E is just better than any of them and they can't do too much to take away from its realism.
Man i was so excited i have barely grinded it out
It’s still the best
same bro
It’s still good 😂😂😂
OH NO, a nerf I couldn't care less about cause I still get to fly the F-15E
I think that there model is partially incorrect. F15E should have slimmer nose on the top.
man, i have grown as a person. i saw this jet was the way it was and i never bought it through GE, i did nothing. i still wont play, gaijun can kiss my rear
Its funny people want to say the f15e needed a nerf do to thrust blah blah.. if you want a game that is as realistic as war thunder to continue to be realistic then they should do it correctly speaking only on the f15e, it can hit mach before passing the end of the airstrip and what it was when it was implemented into the game was probably the most historically accurate vehicle in the game before the nerf. Thats not just the f15e thats with the f15c as well the difference is ofc newer upgraded engines in the f15e letting it be able to hold a mach 2 cruise at 10k ft above sea level with ease. So nerf is not deserved do to the irl version of this/these planes
You’re actually delusional
then why even introduce a plane if it's too good for the current top tier?
The thing is that it is not too strong for top tier it’s over performing by a lot.
@@AlexanderÖberg-j9n In what way is it overperforming? The F-15 is stated to reach speeds of over Mach 2.5 according to the manual. Now it's not going any where near that.
@@Levi-pp8sqit had almost no drag that was issues anyways the nerf wasn't even that bad
@@Levi-pp8sq The manual doesn't actually say that, only that the maximum structural limit is mach 2.5 above 45,000 feet (13716 meters). Even completely empty, the max actual flight was about 2.45, which by all means is still very impressive but that was also at 45,000 feet+ which you really don't reach in game.
@@Levi-pp8sqthey already proved that was incorrect in the bug report
And no LN skins for 492 and 494 units
SU-34 needs a nerf nothing can keep with its flight capabilities is just stupid being able to do a backflip right after launching off the run way and then going straight up doing a 360 then fly off like nothing like tf and it's missles are just stupid op
I ge'd it and it was cool but i dont mind the nerf as it was deserrved. i didnt get it because it was fast/op. I got it because i love the 15E and for what it does, i was gunna get even before they gave it the 229's.
yeah but like it’s still faster than the C I bet and the aim120b combination it’s still the best plane in the game but less like op. The change was like basically zero impact😂
They should just keep it as it is and make it 14.0
