SARH only planes should not be 13.0 BR and have to face ARH jets every single match.
The AIM-9M does not bridge the gap due to its very limited range. The Aim-7M cannot possibly compete with R-27ER, Fakours an and AIM-120s.
No
if the f-15 is overtier then Su-27 is aswell…
You know notching exists right you just turn around and the missile misses doesn’t matter if it’s a Fox 1/3
True
Any arguments?
At least the Su-27 can carry 4 of the fantasy R-27ERs alongside 4 R-73s and 2 R-27ETs.
I have both and the Su-27 is at least playable.
^^
what was its hit rate IRL again?
im pretty sure its guidance and seeker are heavily overpreforming
1 in 27. Peak missile
seekerhead definitely overperforming but kinematics which is what most people complain about underperforming
Combat or testing?
combat, 90s
In combat. One of wars in africa.
notch gates are overperforming, this is not new. this is also true for f16 not just mig 29
within 10 km notch gates are tighter, this is for >10km
ethipian eritirean war, su27 vs mig 29. su27 slammed the mig 29 but most of its missile launches failed
it might actually hit its range chart now that it’s no longer hard limited to 1500 m/s
Those early Fox 3 are a little bit easier to notch and I don’t see any F-15 player struggling so there is no point of moving it down.
