1. First, dealing with energy management is quite hard for Su-27. On the other hand, the F-15 soars between Mach 1.3 and 4 at 10 km even when the start of the engagement.
(I'm not talking about Initial merge, it just does "always" cranking, recommit, beaming, F-pole whenever even when mouse-aiming somewhere in the screen. Su-27's energy bleeds are so fatal for itself)
2. It is very easy for an aircraft that performs defensive maneuvers at high speed to defeat missiles moving in proportional navigation(I'll upload about this how system works later).

3. Aim-7 Sparrow, which is launched from F-15 also superial radar + high speed with high altitude is no longer a missile that can be ignored. The pressure of dealing with an R-27ER was greater than i expected (I did my best to maintain energy while thinking of Sparrow).

3.1. Even it AIM-7 vs R-27ER is, we have to beam each other at least once before recommit, but in the process, the speed of the F-15 actually increases, but the Su-27 is struggling at the transonic speed even if it tried to managed maintaining energy. During this process, I felt like I overestimated the Sparrow a little while maneuvering, but considering the F-15's radar, I still thinking my decision was right.

4. In this state, the F-15 can choose whether to go up vertical and kill the Su-27 as it maneuvers, or go straight in and release a IR missiles.

Theres enough to exist some complain here.
Q: can we just let Flanker pull the angle of attack to the maximum and fire the R-73? It's IRCCM anyways.

A: If the opponent is equally skilled or good at it: If you know the IRCCM destruction method and use your energy well, it is difficult to make an angle of shoot with R-73. I think the F-15 will have energy even if it starts a IRCCM Defeat maneuvers. No, It would be have much more energy.
I'll add some link how to defeat IRCCM IR Missiles.

Please leave a comments, questions, and feedbacks anything.
