That’s why I suggested better engines for 30Sm.

Why wouldn’t they match typhoon and rafale? Radar, engines, R-37M. Typhoon has super-cruise an advantage there.
I think he’s saying that even with those engines it wouldn’t match the Typhoon/Strike Eagle/Rafale in terms of kinematics, issue is, as long as the flanker FM is poorly modelled, that will always be the case.

Ohh yes of course, that’s true, well I think we will continue to play the way we are playing realistic air battles. I think there clear winners are the Rafael, and now the new AIM-120 missile carriers. SU-30 can hold its own but that is a long shot in air realistic.
To be fair with you after testing the new Aim-120C’s I haven’t seen much of a difference compared to the 120A/B, the Su-30 gameplay will still bring me more enjoyment :)
(ofc we’re talking about the Dev server Aim-120C, which might still change before release)
Because R-37M isnt in the game…
And if you get the R-37M then the Typhoon will have Meteor.
Well that is how it goes, I wonder how does Meteor perform has it been used in irl?
Do you play simulator mode?
Not really, Air RB mainly
Me too, but who knows in the future might try it out.

I dont think it’s been used in combat.
Do you have the Rafael in game?
Typhoon the weaker relative
Id rather have an actual competetive plane first (I know gripen c can hold its own rn but oh well)
I see, I am currently grinding the F-15E.

Yeah sim looks fun, need to learn a bit about it tho haha, in the meantime, this feature will be nice for the Su-30 in air RB, being able to cranck away/notch earlier and still shoot a missile:
this might be tricky, but gives you a tiny bit more chance at evading and launching
You can also use the R-27ER in that way. You do need to relock them at the end but you are already well in the notch by then
Yes of course it does, there are some players that use full controls and are superb in controlling the plane and using it to the max potential.

Tbh current flanker fm is much better than before, sure it compress at high speeds and limits you 10g but it doesn’t bleed insane amount of speed compare to previous fm.
In fact if I’m not mistaken it overperforms at high speed while the opposite at low.
The only thing that Gripen C holds back is the amount of missiles.
If Gaijin gave those aim-120C5’s to JAS39C (assuming they will fix it) instead of F15E’s JAS39 would’ve been much better.
