MiG-29SMT and Su-27SM battle ratings should be switched

I just unlocked the MiG-29SMT yesterday, and I’ve almost spaded it. But all the performance mods are done.

I don’t understand why this thing is at 13.3. I was planning to wait until the November sale to buy the MiG line, but I couldn’t handle playing the Su-27SM anymore, so I caved.

It’s so much better. I don’t think I will touch the SM ever again unless they lower it’s BR, or buff it’s avionics (which they should not do unless it’s accurate to real life). Not to mention the flight performance is way better as well.

Sure, you get 6 less missiles, but what is the point of having extra missiles if you can’t lock people fast enough to shoot them in the first place? It feels like the better radar on the SMT gives the R-77’s a much higher hit probably as well.

Please let me know if you disagree, because I want to love the Su-27SM but the only viable way I’ve been able to use it is by side-climbing for 7 minutes at the start of the match like I’m back in low tier.

I think the more maneuverable airframe of the MiG-29SMT just suits the R-77 better, and there’s not much that you can really do about that.

If mig29 and su27sm switch battle rating, J11A should also reduce its BR to 13.3. Because J11A has even worse radar, rwr and less missiles compare to su27sm

After returning to mig29smt, I felt that its roll rate above mach 1.0 was the worst, and mirage2k5f became much heavier than previously, my comfort plane was just gripen for now. su27sm? it has no radar, i use hmd most of the time

Literally, those planes are in the trash, they are not competitive in the current BR, they have no balance.
