Much superior fm, rwr, equal ir missiles, much worse radar/radar missiles
at long range the r27er just eats any chance the f15 has, and at close range the su27 can almost always get off a r73 within 1km that most players don’t know how to deal with. F-15 can win consistently in close range if he’s REALLY GOOD but the average player won’t know how to deal with the Su27’s one circle advantage
su27 also has r27et which you dont mention when you say equal ir missiles
completely forgot about 27et, but it’s super easy to flare if you know it’s been fired, which to be fair is hard especially from range. r27er in a 1v1 y ou can multipath/just notch it, in a dynamic game, like arb, i would say su 27 is better becuase it’s a lot more chaotic and the 27ers shine. but in a mode like sim where 1v1s happen more often, f-15a would be better because you can force 1v1 + rwr is much superior (not to mention the fact that su27 is always at 14.0)
the r73 is the missile I talked about, not r27er, referring to close range
G loc is still really annoying. Lack of CM is becoming more and more noticeable. I might have to go for hit and run tactics if possible.
no expert?
I got the F-15A, F-16C, and Su-33 within 10 days of each other so I’m a little low on SL and I don’t play much USSR so I’m still grinding out crew skill
