If we think about F-16A ADF
I don’t think IRIAF is 13.3 material, though
Yeah, just flankers were first-responders from my brain when thinkin about 13.3
fair enough, those things are an absolute plague

they must be 13.7, but at least the MK2, it’s impossible to do it with Su-27SM on the way. 2 fighters in the same BR and with clearly different capabilities wouldn’t be possible.
F-16A ADF is miles better than the F-14, so is pretty much any other 13.3 you could name
Su-27SM can go to 14.0 really (best 13.7)
100% if we got actual decompression
Brother imagine a missile, you gotta be aware before they are detected by your rwr, tell me an equivalent.
how about IR missiles that don’t warn you
or any other fox-3 launched from outside 16km
or a fox-3 carrier within 10km
im pretty sure J-11B is better 13.7 than Su-27SM, also F-2A.
actually no, Su-27SM has more missiles than either of those (better ones), R-27ERs and HMD

Ir missiles need to be fired from close range, if you are not aware of a plane 1-5km next to you then its skill issue. Fox3s get detected by rwr and you can notch safely in that time since none of them will be as fast as you turning unless you dont have energy or too much of it.
isn’t J-11B better due to the PL-12s and better flight performance/F-2A due to also missiles and flight performance?
F-2A has less missiles
J-11 has less missiles and no R-27ERs
lots of high-G missiles is meta for 16v16
and in 1v1s the Su-27SM wins anyways due to R-27ER+R-77
why do you think the Su-27SM is used over the J-11B in tournamets?
cof cof
i believe u don’t need to launch it from close range, and not being aware isn’t a skill issue when it comes from blind spots u never check.
isn’t it only good for 2v2 tournaments?
2v2, 4v4 and air RB
possibly even dogfights iirc
J-11B is just easier to use because you have better radar and don’t need to switch between 3 missiles in your meta loadout
Su-27SM has higher skill floor, but is better overall
amazing for dogfights, my favourite flanker for dogfighting, it’s just way better than any Su-30SM2 and it’s Su-57 BS engines.
almost like TVC does nothing but make you shit out speed harder than an old man with explosive diarrhea
Yeah, I am quite a F-14 lover outside of WT while being F-14 hater inside WT
because of bad memories, ‘when those really were game-breaking’
But seriously, sending F-14A IRIAF to 13.3BR with no improvement is rubbish take even if I bias myself as F-14 hater
Fakour stomping teammates are annoying, but really, send them into 13.3, with this compression, with that other kits…
I really wonder why the heck I should agree with OP.
She isn’t just 13.3BR material ffs
yeah, it really isn’t
it’s just a one-trick pony that works because people refuse to learn how to not die to the first missile launched at them or they’re tabbed out and don’t notice the smoke trail
