could be useful for dealing with SAM’s as well
can it fully eject the pylons to go back to being stealthy?
You could almost suspect intent ^^

No but it does have a much higher airspawn speed than the Typhoon where the Typhoon spawns in subsonic while Su-30SM2 spawns in Mach 1.2.

Why does Russian jet have higher spawn speed
“Balance”
That’s a good question. Why does a jet like Su-30SM2 that have superb* radar, missile qualities, and missile count which makes it dominant at mid and late-game need to also dominate early-game?
Early-game should be an area where the F-15s and Eurofighters dominate but they want to give the SU-30SM2’s a spawn advantage in early-game which cancels out Eurofighter/F-15’s early-game advantage but it still keeps all of the mid-game and late-game advantages.

At those speed the R-77-1 is equal to the 120 too
Trying to think of a reason that has nothing do with Russia, but I can’t think of anything
better.
Really even the 120C, I don’t have a jet with the R-77-1
120C will have marginally better range as per usual but the 77-1 will actually turn in less than 20km at those speeds.

Even a 120C.
On par when launched from EF/15E, way better than from hornet.

Surely the Hornet spawns at mach 1.5 to help out that struggle bus?
It’s completely subjective to developer’s wishes. The F-18C also has a spawn speed advantage too but not the F-18E which needs it the most out of all 14.3. They’re hoping no one realizes

The F/A-18C spawns at Mach 1.1/1.2 while the F/A-18E spawns subsonic (Mach 0.8 I think).

Only the F-18C, not the F-18E. If the F-18E doesn’t get it and its worse than the SU-30SM2 in every way while at the same BR of the SM2 why does the SU-30SM2 get it?
funny thing is both su30s get it as well and have had it for a while
They always were. R-77-1 quite happily match the performance of a C5 if not exceed it
