Yes, but the su-30mk2 still outrates the F-16D, is about on par with F-16C in sustained rates. Just to point that their FM isn’t that bad as we would expect. Then paired with a 10 missile kit, its too strong for 13.3.
Im afraid that since its russian premium, it WILL be spammed a lot, and its kit is going to kill the whole 12.3-13.0 range. That being said I look forward to farming them with EFT.

That’s pretty surprising considering how damn heavy the su-30mk2 is
Only in full downtiers
isnt anything top BR - 1.0 sucked into top BR anyway? With occasional downtier now and then?

F-16d and su-30mk2/j-11a are now the seal clubbers dream. (Su-30mk2 low k the best because r-77 better than derby in every way other than acceleration)
Not really, the Chinese f16mlu at 13.3 for me has been mostly 13.7 top games.
The again china doesn’t have a 14.3 like Russia does so you’re not sucked up into top tier a whole lot
No, 13.3 has a favourable matchmaker where on average, you are fighting 13.0-14.0 and considering how strong 13.3 are over 13.0 and still can manage against 13.7 and 14.0 its a very confortable BR right now.
For me I’m not gonna buy it because I already have the Russia tech tree… but I’m definitely gonna get it for my friends getting into wt lmao
neat. might give ADF a go then.

ADF is quite decent now, The MLU is a bit better just for the extra CMs and the F-16D is currently the best 13.3 on live server. The ADF/MLU have a similar playstyle to the F-15C at a lower BR
Then with the su30mk2 it will even overshadow the F-16D since it has R-77 which work even better than the Derby for HOBS with similar range capability and you carry more missiles on top of that.

Yeah with the f16s I’ve found you just run out of missiles…
Su-30mk2 will fix that
I was put off by ADF being bumped up to 13.3, and Im still thinking that 9L + 45CMs might be a tad bit too limiting in some scenarios, but if MM is favorable.
Don’t run any 9ls only use 6x 120s
Im not exactly new to ARB mate. Im just saying that fact it has only 9Ls might be limiting in some scenarios, not that I will run them.

I play the MLU sometimes, the playstyle with aim120 is a bit dull. Mostly flying high and launching them at unsuspected targets and defending myself with distance and speed. From 6x aim120 2-3kills is an average game.
With the F-16D I have a more aggressive playstyle and also carry 2 2000lbs spice bombs just to yeet them from high altitude early match. I have a higher quantity of 4-5 kill games than the MLU/ADF but I also die more often with 1-2 kill games because of how aggressive I play with the derby kit.
With the su-30mk2 it would probably be similar to the F-16D, but you have enough kit for those games that work in your favour and end up with 5-6 kills where with the F-16D you would be out of missiles after 3-4 kills

With J-11A going to 13.3, it makes sense.
However, if J-11A goes back to 13.7 then the Su-30MK2 should follow.

the fact that F-14 is only 0.3 lower than this

I think the most important question is why the hell did russia get a far superior pay to win fighter jet then the Americans, Germans, and British combined like bruh the Chinese really do hate the western community lol (China bought Gaijin from Russia so WT is now a Chinese game if anyone’s wondering)
That thing has 10 missiles. AND NEW USA TOP F15GE HAS 8!!! And it has 14.3 br just for better radar. It has same 8 missiles, no new atg stuff. Just better radar. In other side, su30mk2 has more air to air missiles, new rocket’s (even if they not that good) and 13.3??? Why the hell did i grind other “WRONG” nations, if i can just grind ussr, and have broken heli’s, jet’s and other stuff…
