On the other hand, in some exercises a couple of decades back, A-10s did very well versus F-15s as long as they kept things down near the ground. Hiding in the weeds kept the long-range missiles out of the equation, and once they got into gun range, they broke even. I wouldn't try that with the more modern radars currently on the F-15.
