f18c doa for sure, gaijin showing mk82 bombs, just pathetic trailer for us players.
NO…I’m buying the Su-30SM first XD

Thats what it looks like in the clip. In fact, two keybinds. One to enable thrust vectoring (i think such keybind already exists in the game now but no aircraft uses it) and one to disable AOA limiter.

In general, this is most likely another pointless update, again a bunch of high-level planes, a couple of self-propelled guns the size of a barn and which in the game are forced to shoot at tanks with direct fire. Nothing interesting, we’ve played through it a million times.
But there is a lot of epic music and footage, it’s a pity that people’s talent is wasted on meaningless things, and not on repairing and fixing equipment in the game.

Im just hoping it overhauls things that have been broken for the past few years

Good teaser. 9/10.
What will be more effective in BVR?
- Su-30SM with 12 R-77s and PESA radar
- Late F-18C with 10 AMRAAMs

Voted Su-30 based upon an assumption it would have an energy advantage and radar advantage when launching and likely defend better. I also assume it will still have R-27ET/Rs to fire off and they remain potent at top tier

The R-77 spam will be spooky if you get jumped within like 7 km but other than that it’s fine.
My magic crystal ball tells me people will use it to scream about bussian rias though

The F/A-18C late is a USMC one which means it may well have an AESA radar
It may, but I guess we’ll have to wait and see. Im personally guessing it wont to limit the BR
You had me fooled tbh…
Great we are back to normality…Russian and US additons…no more Euro crap…
while waiting for multi-component air defense systems and repairing those available in the game:

Meanwhile Typhoons stumble round like a blind man
I can tell you for a fact, the F-15 will still be king. Cant do anything against Aim-120 missile bus so as long as your Fox-3’s are slower and cant go as far as Aim-120’s. On flat maps youre screwed. On maps with some terrain you might be able to fight back as long as you get the jump on them with range of the R-77
I think the question is purely F-18C vs Su-30SM.
Not compared to other top tiers

Probably wouldn’t have too big an effect on the BR regardless of the radar it gets
I mean, personally i dont see them as competitors. Maybe the a more modernized Mig-29 but the Su-30SM is more align with the eagles.
