Only if AIM-120
Or perhaps just wait and see how the Su-30 fairs at 14.0 before demanding major buffs. We have yet to even have the dev stream let alone the dev server.
To date Soviets biggest problem is the lack of a decent radar on a dedicated fighter platform. I assume the Su-30 fixs that and might actually do fine. Given just how far behind most nations often were and how far behind a few will be this major update still. The Soviets most likely will not need any buffs, certainly not paper buffs
NO
im afraid they will make swiss f-18 as a premium vehicle!
NO! NIGHTMARE!
Nope. I must be 1 of the few in this game who isnt a fan of the Hornet lol.
They can get the R-77-1 as a gapfiller. That’s what they had, so that’s what they get.
Hm i wonder how
- Being much faster than the F-18 if both use their meta loadouts
- Canards
- Thrust vectoring
- Crazy good radar compared to the 27SM
- Missile bus
Fair, just doing wishful thinking that sukhois can maybe one day do bvr
It is still missing the .50 cals
It will be an interesting addition and maybe if Britain gets one, it will be fun to acquire. But even if we do. I wont be power grinding it nor would I be upset if we didnt.
Like a lot of US aircraft. It seems a tad over-hyped. Especially with the lack of alien space ships to shoot at
Spoiler
Fair but I’m just a BVR fan that stupidly became a russian main
If it’s the F/A-18A+ or F/A-18C (Early) as has been rumored, it’s more than likely going to arrive with them.
I have yet to see documentation of such use in Russian service to any extent.
That criticism of the R-77 is so exaggerated. I might be the only one who doesn’t mind the 77 and is doing well with it. I’d rather have a better radar, which we’re finally getting with the 30SM.
13.7 then i guess?
13.7 premiums… that hurts my soul
I mean I only bashed the R-77 on its range, as a <10km head on missile it is very effective
Yup, that has been my experience, at least fighting them. Sure I can outrange the Su-27SM within the Typhoon, but the gap isnt so great that I just ignore them.
Tornado F3 vs Mig-23ML Im rather reckless because im confident in the airframe to be good enough to hard counter the Mig-23. But R-27ETs are a major threat still and an R-77 can still kill with ease. I know the pain of a dodgy radar (looking at the Typhoon) but yeah. Su-30 I think will be more than worthy of being 14.0
IDK ill see how GTA 6 plays out to be
I hope they will fix ahead someday…
They paid the first payment of ~75M USD as planned (of ~325M USD total) before the Asian Financial Crisis hit.
