Don’t know if this has been posted already but you never know who will comment on this. 🙂
So hear we go.
An F-15C armed with (off course) it’s 20mm, 4 AIM-9m and 4 AIM-120 B,C (if you want to add sparrows AIM-7 to it go ahead) against an Su-27P armed with it’s 30mm gun, 4 R-73, 4 R-77, 2 R-27ER/(ET). Who would win the fight (pilots are both of the same class) in the BVR and close combat range.
For TOM ==> 2 F-15C against 2 SU-27 (<== reason there are now 1 vs 1 fights sais he}> )
I don’t like western build planes so in my opinion the flanker will win in every district : BVR and close combat.
==> reason for this: The R-27ER has a much greater range as the AIM-7(?) or the AIM-120 so the flanker can fire first (first shoot probably first kill). In the close combat the R-73 has an advantage over the AIM-9 so the eagle will losse here to.
Would like to hear any comments on this.
