Operational Performance Comparison: Viper, Beagle and Stubby

[element1loop]

Thank you for your effort spurts.

It feels SOOOOO good to do this. I was having a hell of a time with the F-15 fuel burn modeling in different weights and loadouts. Then I was having a hell of a time finding a convenient way to do the CAP mission probability. It doesn't work to sum the odds that a given aircraft survives or dies, you have to take the odds that each shot even occurs. If the first shot has a 45% pK, then there is only a 55% chance the next shot even happens, and so forth. So, I'm a bit late, but here is a .PDF of what I have: The F-15SA through the CAP mission. I still need to do the Intercept, Deep Strike, and CAS missions. There is a lot of performance info here on how the F-15SA compares to my model of the Su-35S, as well as info about how I am modeling system performance. If anyone has concrete proof that I have a mistake in the systems, please share. If anyone who is a subject matter expert (looking at hornetfinn) thinks I should try a different approach to my systems and has one to offer, please share.

One last note, I am having some formatting issues with Word. Some tables are being split in two for seemingly no reason and the table of contents just looks ugly. I will try to fix this before the next release.

Enjoy

Yes, it finally here thank Spurt

WORD is not a DTP program so odd things happen. Try using TABS instead of endless ………………….. for your TOC. Make back-ups of your WORD work - as you go - because you may find that 'all of a sudden' it goes SPROING! with your formatting.

Btw where did you got the number for this table:

Secondly, about this table,

i have some opinion: the "range reduction" effect of jammer is basically how close the jammer can remain effective

To be effective, the jammer need to achieve a certain level of J/S ratio, the level required varies with different forms of jamming.

I know i sound nitpicky but i have to say that because even with the same jamming system, with the same operating mode use on F-22 or F-35 will have much greater range reduction effect than if you put them on a Rafale or F-15.

In short, I propose you use this table instead:

That table is certainly one of the places where I am looking for and welcome proof of corrections. What I did was develop a formula to taking AESA antenna size and technological sophistication and calibrate that against claims of the F-22s radar performance. Antenna sizes were either module counts from images or estimates from hornetfinn. Between hornetfinn's posts and your blog I gathered that the features that allow a radar to get the most range for a given size/power are some of the same features that improve resistance to ECM. The only numbers in that table that have an actual reference are the F-22 and the Su-35S.

About your excellent constructive criticism on jamming effects, I will PM you so that the thread is not bogged down by a one-on-one.

Well as I have estimated, a Clean F-15SA without CFT is pretty impressive

I will upload the drag polar and 1G envelop of Mig-29A from its aerodynamic manual. It may help spurs with future work

Small question: what is the loaded limit in red? why do they both have loaded limit at Mach 1.4?

No particular reason for the loaded limit being in red.

CAS/Mach limits for the F-15 are 800/2.45 clean, 750/2 with CFTs, 700/1.8 with targeting pods, 660/1.5 with wing tanks, and 660/1.4 with any CFT mounted munitions (including air to air missiles). Every loadout for the Eagle has CFT mounted munitions. There once was a Strike Eagle website that I can no longer find that listed every known combat load a Mudhen ever went to war with. What I noticed is that CFTs, two wing tanks, and targeting pods were ALWAYS used, even on the Air Sovereignty missions they performed.

As for why they are BOTH the same? I have no data for the Su-35S so I had to ask myself which assumption was better: The Su-35S has no speed restrictions with any payload, or A-G payloads will have speed restrictions similar to the F-15 CFT stores. I am not assuming the limit applies to A-A stores on the Su-35S.

This is one of the areas where I am unsure of the most convenient way to present all the data, so I chose to show max and min top speed limits.

It must have been www.f-15e.info. The website seems to be gone, but maybe you can try reaching them on Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/F15E.info/

That sounds correct. Thanks for the tip!

For A2A payload, this is what i can find:

Andraxxus is very well known for his knowledge about aerodynamic so that i guess we can take his word, in the mean time i will try to contact him to see if we can get the manual

Preserved. The Lantirn targeting pod was not in all configurations due to shortages so only the lead carried it but the navigation pod was.

F-15e.info used to be run by Szabolcs Serflek, whom I understand is Hungarian and used to work in a bank. He should be contactable via linkedin if anyone is interested to know the source of the info which I believe were contributions by various posters before he put them into the pics.
