Yes but that is because Germany, France and UK did not have planes to rival the f-16, f-15 and to an extent the su-27 that is the reason why rafaels and typhoons were added this early to the game. SU-30SM was added because USSR lacked radar and missiles at top tier Air battles.
Everybody is gonna be farting fire during takeoff and throughout the match …
I wonder if friendlies will take damage if you torch them with fuel dumping …
Most IR AGMs have a gateWidth of 0.1 deg if you check the guided weapons spreadsheet
Yes
But it has no effect as far as I understand
Your FoV goes from 0.1 before lock-on to 0.1 after lock-on
I.e. it’s the same value …

Oh i see what you mean, seems different ppl made the IR AGMs and they just have different code notations, which have ended up making it seem like some AGMs have IRCCM and others dont when theyre all mostly the same
The gameplay is the issue.
If AIM-120 saves you from Rafale the guy with the Rafale did something wrong.
At the best ranges for MICA the base R-77 is decent enough.
You also have a better chance with R-77 to notch while firing compared to AMRAAM which is needed when fighting Rafale.
You only have to adjust to the different gameplay a little though the differences are not as meaningful as one might think.
its workable with the AMRAAM but yes, it’s incredibly easy for a rafale to get close and take you out. The rafale flight performance is equal to that of the eurofighter and the MICA is much better missile within approx 15km. You’ve highlighted the problem- the Rafale can easily avoid the one thing its not good at and then once its close, you really don’t have many options. Sure the R-77 is good enough, but the Su-27SM/29SMT flight performance is horrific in comparison and makes it difficult to effectively get into notches and fight back
Superior I’d say. MICA also can reach out further than 15km though at 15km and below chances of surviving it really are slim.
SU-27 and MiG-29 are not necessarily worse in flight performance than other aircraft.
Even Eurofighter is limited after the nerf.
the 27SM and 29SMT are some of the worst high tier flight models. pretty much only the F-15E turns worse
nop, that only applies to the MiG29
Never really had that feeling recently.

someone understands it, and before the russian main accusations roll in, I have UK, USSR and israel at top tier

What did you say? @vizender
It doesn’t matter, the 27SM IS NOT, one of the worst flight models at top tier.
It’s high speed and rating performance is plenty good, the J-11B is even better though their low speed perf could be better and should be revisioned.
Both of em are on par if not better than the F16C.vi
I have every single top tier except Italy and I can easily say your claim about Su-27 is wrong.

Which is unimportant for RB because holding a rate is pretty much impossible
Okay some people really are surprising. I have no clue why my post was hidden, I was just saying that imo, the things that make the SU27 competitive in dogfights is the AOA, HMD and r73 combo. Remove the r73 and there’s not a lot of top tier (13.0-14.0) aircraft’s that it can beat.
F15E, probably F16C but not A, that’s mostly it. Eurocanards demolish it, the Chinese one as well

name a flight model that’s worse than the Su-27 at top tier (Apart from the F-15E). Aircraft like the Su-27SM or anything carrying the Derby or similar R-Darter are made pretty much irrelevant against a rafale
Su-30 (xD)
bruh. However that can compete with the rafale (my point into using flight performance for my arguement) due to its R-77-1 and very strong radar
