in rb it would be fine at 13.0
In both cases, if they’re fired at a guy who does not notch/multipath, he dies 95% of the time.
Yeah, if fired at a vegetable they both get the kill, same if I fire a 9B at said vegetable, but that’s not what we are talking about here. If both are fired at the same target in a headon at 20km, the 27ER would reach its target at least 5 seconds faster if both aircraft are at the same speed, but because the 29 can go much much faster than the f18, the gap can be increased tremendously. That’s a lot of time to position yourself for a notch, multipath, not to mention, again, that you can fire back at the F18 and roll its sparrow without losing your lock.
Both would be notched easily by said non-vegetable
Well by definition, if you have much less time to notch, it means it’s much harder to notch. But notching a Sparrow is a waste of time because the best way to evade them is to just retaliate and roll, you can’t reraliate a 27ER with another Fox 1.
20km shots+ give hours to notch
What are we even arguing, 27ER is the best missile in the game, it’s in a fast platform, it has less of a business in a downtier than anything thay uses sparrows. Even at 14.3 27ER is the preferred missile, while anyone would trade their sparrows for a diet coke lol.
Absolutely not.

It absolutely is. With the new radars with a great scan angle, you can now notch and maintain lock, which was the main disadvantage of Fox 1. You won’t see a SU30SM2 worth their lick that doesn’t bring any 27ER.
the su-30sm2 has been having issues with single target track at angles close or greater than 90 degrees so people are still brining r-77-1s
this is probably true
Most still bring mostly r771. On top tier su-30s I bring max 4 ers, most of the time only 2

Oh yeah of course nobody is going to ditch the ARH as they are much more convenient and has it’s own set of advantages. However, if you really want someone dead, you drop a 27ER lol.
f14 iriaf with r73s if at 13.3
Updated to the ninth wave update.
Added F-16C PoBIT, Mig-29M (9-15) (other Mig-29s remain unchanged as they are already accounted for), F/A-18F, J-15T, and the JAS39D.
Changed BRs of the F-15A and company to be 13.3.
Moved Kfir C.10 to 13.7.

xd Rafale being on top of everything incl. Su-30SM2 and AESA Typhoon is funny
Until such time the Typhoon gets better weapons (or at the very least, its existing weapons are performing correctly) and a number of fixes, such as fixing BOL, it is weaker in a 1v1 fight by quite a bit. But definetly has a path forward to be on par, if not straight better.

you might want to add for the changes to the soviet MiG-29s now since the 9.13 is a 29G copy paste and the “new” 9.12 is like the previous mig-29s
I bet the Typhoon would be an equal to it if Aim-120s had an upgraded seeker, and were slightly better kinematically. Right now all Aim-120s feel bad at long range because everything is easily notched, or bad at close range since they turn too poorly.
It’s an equal to the Su-30SM2, and both are worthy of being a step above everything else.
All seekers have the same notch gate, so all missiles will probably feel bad lol.
Yes even mica seeker has the same notch gate. Just better POV seeker in a sense, that allows it to maintain a better relock rate than normal missiles, same goes for 120D and Pl-12A. That IOG drift allows them to actually not drift off target and the radar of the missile seeker can have a higher chance of relocking through datalink.
