F-18 is perfectly fine at 12.3

I take 12 mins and a tank usually.

Also this topics on the F18A, but yeah teh 530E i kind astopped using and just lob the 530Fs at unwary targets, really hand late game when folks are low on CMs usually chaffe.

Nah you dont, unless you drop speed bellow aboit 750 kmph then yeah it gets a bit spicy a

because the su27 is a sidegrade to su33 and is the tech tree vehicle

Not that much better , the main thing is the better avionic anyway. All su27 variants are kinda meh in the FM department

Yeah seen they got a touchup recently, though they seem like flying busses.

Hence why i went the Fulcrum line…
The smt seems, fun…

su27 has more CM (important, as su33 only has 48) and the FM difference is there

Genuine question, what is the smt like ? Is it still a flying shit brick?

29smt?

Aye the 29 smt, im grinding it out now

good players will be able to make use of its very capable radar/rwr/missiles (even if you only get 6)

but the FM is as bad as you probably think, a fatter 12.7 mig29

It feels not too shabby in the Test drive with 28 minutes of fuel.

Though test drives never the same as the RB or sim.

Im used to the 4 R-darters on the Grip anyways so im sure 6 is a welcome change.

I seen folks like defyn absolutely rag on the FM of the SMT so im a tad worried but yeah ill see how I get on, having a lot of fun with just the 29 so can see me enjoying the SMT

Cheers for the insight :D

Su27 has a considerable better FM then the su33.

And how can you say its meh when currently the su27 has a similar sustained turn rate to the f16a block15 with the ability to pull cobras while spamming r73? The instantaneous turn energy retention isn’t as good but its not bad at all.

That energy doesnt sound right at all.

They usually fall out the sky when i face them.

Usually, people don’t control their turn rate and just pull max elevator, not that it should be avoided in the flankers since it can bleed speed and tighten turns fast to spam r73

Wdym? Just pick a flanker and make a 800kph sustained turn in game

Yeah i can see that these US teams are dogwater man, i cant even get into the fray RN with the F18A cause the teams gone before I get there, just headbutting missiles on teh way in.

Then get shot down by the 13 other people in the enemy team…

Its no where near as good as an F16 man need to provide a source for that claim…
