Its quite funny that the Su-30MKK and MK2 have the same fms and missile load as the Su-27SM before it was buffed also at 13.7 even before having the extra missiles or al31Fs while only being roughly 200 kg heavier than the prebuff su-27sm fm while being at 13.3 when the 27SM was never below 13.7 in br to begin with even before buffs.
It’s not strange—in fact very common and well known, it’s called battle rating compression. Hopefully with the upcoming 5th-generation airplanes by late 2026 Gaijin observes how is the situation at battle rating 13.0 range and increase the battle rating cap and so everything else below.

not the same , su-27sm have 8 FOx 3 missiles that why su-30mkk and mk2 are 13.3
nah, gaijin gonna add 5th gen to 14.7 because they are scared of adding new BRs just like they keep filling 12.7 ground with vastly different performing vehicles
What do you mean? the 30MKK and MK2 are functionally the same aircraft as the prebuff Su-27SM, and the prebuff Su-27SM was also at 13.7 with the same FM and missile kit as the 30MKK and MK2, thats the flimsiest excuse ive seen.
They have diff payload this why br diff , and diff is low because compression
no the point im making is the prebuff su27sm and the 30mkk/mk2 are functionally the same planes, and the prebuff 27SM was 13.7 with the same missile load so the whole “but its different” excuse does not work in this instance.
Prebuff no make sense , su-27sm is 13.7 with 6 missile in another times
illiteracy at its finest, the f16c was also 13.7 with the same arh count
F-16 C are better airframe and radar
