Odd maneuverability stats

[hyprodimusprime]

There are a couple of aircraft that have very high maneuverability that i don't see a real world reason why.

They are the MiG-31 B and the F-15 E.

I know it's a game, but these stats make no sense. (In looking at the values from OpticalGaming's spreadsheet, https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/acecombat/comments/c42y13/ace_combat_7_aircraft_and_weapons_stats/)

The F-15 E is larger than the J or C but it has Rafael level maneuverability. Near PSM level at low speeds.

Then there is the MiG-31 B which outclasses 90% of all aircraft in maneuverability across all speed ranges, near 5th gen and fictional aircraft levels. It's supposed to be an interceptor, designed for speed which it excels at too.

Do you think there is a real life reason for this?

No.

Looks like a simple answer. You're just going straight to the point, don't you?

Anyway, OP, I don't see any reason for that. In fact, I'm not good in making a comparison, so unless if I took off all the installed parts, I don't care one bit.

If you want a potential reason for each:
the F-15E is one of the dev team favorites, and has always been treated as a straight upgrade to the C/J model throughout the series, outside of infinity where vehicle role (Fighter, Multirole, Attacker, Bomber) made a substantial difference. The Mig-31 would be basically unusable if it represented it's real world role in ace combat. It's an interceptor in a game where you very rarely do intercept (7 actually has more intercept style mission objectives than previous games), to keep it from being impossible to dogfight with, it has to be able to manuver somewhat relative to it's speed.

Keep in mind that this is an arcade series where you can take on a Prototype modded Su-30 with a F-104 and win reliably, where planes can carry literally 100 missiles, and there is usually a mad science super weapon powered by BSium and deployed via measure of 'too dumb to live'.

The F-15e has the maneuverability of an F-15 regardless it's a bomber. Actually, It could be even more agile when It is not carrying the many bombs payload it can carry, as the E model it is.

Yes the Mig-31 is too agile in this game, like the Mig-21 as well which is very funny.

Yup this game has so many odd things and decisions related to it. The Eurofighter handling sucking hard is but another odd thingy in ac7.

This is a game, which means realism is sacrificed in the name of fun. If i had to guess, the MiG-31 is probably pretty fragile/has bad weapons to balance it- I don't play with MiGs, just a guess. For the F-15E, well, it's an F-15. F-15s are/were air superiority fighters, so of course it has good maneuverability, even in a ground attack variant.
