it’s cause it gets more fox 3s, which allows you to have more staying power so imo it’s better than those planes for arb. i do have those other planes as well, but i do better/enjoy the su-27sm more becuase of that sweet missile count and the fact that the r77 is better close range than those missiles (pl12s) and r73s (vs pl8b)
yak3s are literally monsters under 15k ft, the only way to beat them is to get high, problem is they out climb most things
idk what the yak 3e is, but the one that i hated the most back then was the yak 3u. that thing felt OP as hell to fight against
Tbh. After having aircraft with both, I’d rather take the 120s over the R-77s.
With the 120 I can fire and turn off and usually still score a kill, R-77s you really might get 1 out of 10 to do so
it sounds like you just don’t bvr that’s why you prefer one to the other so much, the r77-1 is op r77 is eh. that being said, aim120s are just out and out worse than pl12s
For air RB:
La-200 to 8.0 because it is criminal at 7.7. It’s very fast, decent and somewhat easy to aim firepower, and surprisingly good manoeuvrability for its size.
The Tu-14 should go down because it is a slower IL-28 without any other meaningful advantages.
F-5E FCU to 11.7 because it’s loadout is too much of an upgrade over the standard F-5E for just an 0.3 increase.
Most other BR changes here, but this is a bit outdated, and may not represent my current opinions.

no i do bvr, but i limit that to only beginning of matches. because after that it becomes a furball and close range engagements are more important and the r77 is much better atp

It’s a Yak-3 with 1 less 12.7mm MG, placed at 4.0. It’s an even better variant of a 4.7 worthy plane, and I am very glad it’s not as common as it is.
I mean you don’t have to go into the furball and you can fire aim120s from range into it more reliable
R-77-1 is only good sub 10 miles, Aim-120 still beats it in BVR…
1 less 12.7? lol that’s hilarious it’s .3 lower because gaijin LOVES rare op premiums
imo if you fire fox 3s from far range, they become way too easy to ntoch as the defender has much more time to notch. so firing fox 3s from sub 8ish km is much better. Also for more than 15km shots i just use r27er instead lmao, things OP as hell as i launch, switch to ir, then switch back to radar last second
is it a unique variant or something? I dont think ive ever seen it like a year or 2 ago when i played props, and i do know most props
edit* yeah its a fairly recent event vehiccle. 4.0? yeah that thing OP as hell lmao

Please format your suggestion as I had. Scroll up to find it, or go to the Ground list, and copy the formatting, and paste your response please.
Imo A10C should go up in SB. incredible survivability, IFF HMD, 4 IRCCM missiles, crazy good ground ordinance

It’s likely to lock a team mate and kill them tho
I’ve been saying that for years

I mean no, the missile has good range, it has less drag while going in a straight line and more turning, it is WAY more versatile than aim120s due to actually being good at both long and short range.
also fyi aim120a/b are better the c5 is trash
