The first thing you must learn is that we don't do "vs" threads here. By that I mean you must ditch your mentality of comparing Fighter A against Fighter B in a 1v1 combat analysis using published numbers. No one does that in the real world.
A single F-15 never enters into a fight against a single Su-27. That would almost be fair. In warfare, no one believes in a fair fight. Each side will want to maximize its chance of winning. That means support. I'll bring intel, AWACS, drones, tankers, under the cover of bad weather or darkness and if I can, bomb my opponents fighters while they're still grounded to win a fight.
The performance of a single jet fighter is at the very end of a long and complex plan to win a fight. No one talks about what an E-3 can do in a fight because it's not sexy.
