The R-77-1 is very great but what range do I launch it? I saw most people space climb to 8000M and launch there missle at around 35-40km espically those F-15 and Eurofighters but what the range for the R-77-1? And How to notch Fox 3 at 2km? I can offically notch Fox 3 from far range but I have personal issue with the Rafale and it Mica-em they are felt harder to notch.
Thats cool
But how to use the SU-30sm better? and maybe how to notch faster then the Rafale? those thing can effortlessly notch any missle.
Staying at altitude maintaining high speed and launching missiles at medium ranges up to 18km down at people, keeping good distance from the furball. Maintaining good positioning and situational awareness with how the enemy team is moving around you is important when playing missile busses like the Su-30
If you are super sonic and in HMD range you are probably good
You and everybody else not in a raf with MICAs
You have no idea how much I loved ripping them apart in the bullet hell event… oddly I only saw them the 1st day.
Like what attitude? and Around what speed? This thing bleed speed very fast.
Ok but like start of the game My RWR is already screaming at me at 40KM and do I use TWS and just launch the missle as well?
Ye I am in a Su-30SM not as maunoverable as the Rafales
It is very sastifying killing Rafales. They tortured me when I was stock.
AND how to use this as a better CAS? with the KH-38MT and KH-38ML?
well you have enough to toss one out and at least send them defensive, but don’t count on a kill from it but putting the enemy on defense doesn’t hurt and you can get lucky (F-15Es seem to be in love with ramming missiles). think of them as Aim-120As that work up close too.
it’s an issue even in the F-2A which is supposedly the most agile air frame in the game. the Su-30SM can turn ok, but it needs to be at around 800kph to do it… given its acceleration makes the Yamato look like a drag racer…
I usually climb to around 28k-30k feet (8500 meters-9100 meters) that’s right below the height before contrails start appearing whenever you fly above that.
Also to be able to climb safely I side climb to avoid the opening BVR missile fest playing for mid to late game anyway.
When I reach my desired height I try to not go below Mach 1.4 (normally fly at around Mach 1.5-1.8 at that height), so avoiding excessive maneuvering that bleeds speed unless I have to, due to how poor the speed retention is on this thing
