who said iam a EF fan
best looking plane to ever exist is the Flanker
No
As a J-11 fan, that is pretty based
yes
Can you make best looking plane battlefield thread?
good idea
ngl
Yeah we delt with that further up
Are these r-74s?
yep
Guys, please explain what formula is used to calculate weapon debuffs. Because the Su-30 has ~2 times less weapon debuffs than the Rafale.
I hope it’s clear what I mean, because I’m writing through a translator.
You’re comparing a guided bomb to air to air missiles , of course guided bombs will have more of a negative impact than air to air missiles
no that is clearly russian bias
What kind, and are they unfinished in that picture?
I needed to compare the same weight and resistance. But then how to explain it?
that is not possible because they have completly different weapons with different drag and different mass
Same weight and same parasite drag will favour the Su-30SM due to its higher thrust, making an increase in weight and drag less significant.
Thats why thr Su-30SM is less affected by its suspended ordinance than the Rafale with its relatively weak engines.
The thing is that lighter and less drag missiles have a greater impact on the aircraft. I guess I just don’t understand something
