and?
that dosent change the you only have 48 CMs
do you need a red circle and arrows to understand that 48 is way less than 240
(the F-15A has 5 times the CMs and a better radar and better flight performance)
and you cant tell me that large calibre CMs are 5 times as effective as normal callibre ones

theyre double pop though so really you only get 120 pops, and large caliber CM’s are much more effective. I think Su-33 still has less effective CM regardless but its resolved on the base Su-27
and the base SU-27 has a way worse RWR than the F-15
pretty sure the f-15a has a wider notch gate for its radar, and the su33 has tws which is a big plus
did you ever use the TWS on a flanker
are you serious
ngl i kind of hate TWS, it never locks what i want it to. SRC PD or SRC PD HDN feel better when used with ACM/HMD modes imho
next hes gonna be saying the harrier GR7 should be 13.7

tws on the flankers are fine especially for arb, su27 was amazing to fly. i have manual radar controls though, ig people without manual radar controls have more issues
why tf would you use TWS in ARB?
the mode that literally tells you were the enemies are
how so?
because its nice having situational awareness, plus to launch r27ers from super far out with the unlock relock gimmick, giving enemies no time to react. its super powerful. i usually go to 8 km alt, point up at 30 degreees, launch an er, immediately unlock, use tws then relock after 15 ish seconds. super good and all the while im unlocked i can dive back to the deck. mid game i agree tws is useless, hmd pd is much better
it still has an analog RWR
RWR in the Su-27:
it tells you range and distance but not what locks you
If u multipath while preflaring all the way towards him, you can just lock him with acm and lob a sparrow, while you watch all of his missiles smack into the ground around you (unless he’s really high up, in which case the warhead explosive radius has to be taken into account).
if you both are at the same level, even better.
same thing:
• multipath
• preflare
• force the merge
• win
Stock grind is rough for both planes
TBF i could take a F14B and beat them there actually really dumb
F14B is also better than su33 in a df, i’m pretty sure
the sparrow’s only saving grace is that most players don’t know that you can dodge it with a barrel roll
for example look at this f18c launched a 7P at me while i was distracted in another dogfight and i fought back 7 whole seconds after he launched and still won

almost everything beats the su-33 in a dogfight, 2 tons heavier than su27s with no extra thrust other than super low speed
12 insanely good missiles tho
yeah which is why in an average arb match it’s insane, it’s just that once something competent catches it out it’s cooked
