US was hard meta for several years, then need buffs, but don’t expect any pity from me towards poor US mains
unless they buff arh seeker heads i dont think R-77-1 will be that relevant anymore (in a boat like su30) . more people are getting good at notching and its very easy to notch when u launch a missile from beyond 15km. the tactics has shifted from bvr to whoever fires at 12 km n notches first wins. literally any other 4th gen in the game can do this better than the su30 (except f16 ?) R77-1 is good but it will be better if they gave as a decent vehicle to carry it but they have refused to add a decent mig29/flanker variant.
but its true both US/RUS air will suffer in this update for the next 3-4 months. imo they should have added the F15EX/SU35 along with everything else in this update.
Hey don’t forget Japan haha
that applies to virtually all fox 3s, r-77-1 just happens to have the best kinematics of all
su30sm just happens to have one of the worst performance of all. maybe they could add a more maneuverable aircraft ? nah
its decent, definetly not nearly as bad as the hornets
dogfights are irrelevant, su30sm is signfiicantly faster and has a much better radar, you will not convince me that a f/a18 flies better than su30. i have played both, f/a18 can notch pretty fast sure, it also takes 12 minutes to regain its speed and can at most reach mach 1.10 on at low altitude4

F18E will get a better radar now (aesa + same amount of fox3s as su30) ? , it also has a better FM than F18c atm. idk if it will get fixed. cus gaijin can use the same trick they used to model the F2 (slightly bigger wing so magically better in both STR and ITR)
yes but its going to be even slower + still the same broken useless aim120s.
the F18e has a higher chance of beating the su30. the only disadvantage is that u cant spamraam with the f18 from bvr cus its too slow but its probably better for medium range engagements.
definetly not.
do u have the su30sm ?
yes
i have the f18c we can test it rn. half the player in arb or even air sim fly at 10m making fox3s very ineffective.
we can do it for the hell of it but im unlikely to change my mind, let me finish my match first tho
Would love to see the results of this little simulation
i wouldnt have too much hope, i dont do 1v1s ever, whilst im decently that i can at least semi competently ply 1v1 fox 3s, if it ever goes into dogfights im absolutely DOGWATER at BFM
send me an inv once you can, also im not going to bring r27er cause whilst very good for 1v1s, it doesnt really simulate arb.
I am confident in Su-30 capabilities, but I want to see what competent Hornet player can achieve (at least the one that claims to be competent) because majority of US players in public lobbies share a single braincell
