Update coming tomorrow, and still no genuine disposition from Gaijin to fix the airplane to be 14.3 material on launch day.
We should push for either them toning its BR down, or to be foldered under the F-15C MSIP II. The GE’s current features are borderline insulting and I refuse to research the trash they’re rolling out (Needless to say, this would never happen with a Russian upgrade of the Su-30).
ay man, back then i didn’t have russia and only had chinese flankers, and the su-27sm was a great deal better than the j-11a even before the buffs, so russia players complaining was dumb imo.
Surely not, neither the F-16 Barak. But when Fox-3s were added, which was the time the Su-27SM got into the game, they fell hard from the meta, easily becoming worse than the upgraded flanker (even with its flaws) because of the missiles they carry.
No they didn’t? The gripen, even the SA one is still one of the best top tier planes.
Bar the other eurocanards it still slams most if not all other 13.7 planes.
And even 14.0
I get the sentiment, though i myself am much more hoping we get BOL on the 15C TT variant.
If you value situational awareness more than actual offensive potential, nope.
If you value offensive potential in a completely chaotic gamemode such as ARB, then an astonishing yes.
Not really, they either even or straightup outmatch the F-15C in any regard.
Unless tomorrow we get a completely different plane, The F-15E will still be a better choice even with its radar as it has the thrust to compensate.
