if u say F-16A, all the ones here will think about american F-16A, not the belgic one.
at least say Block 15 to refer to it so everybody knows what u’re meaning
I directly specified the 13.0 one and he still got confused
decent pilots (now u, obviously) know that playing agressive isn’t a insta-win technique.
u can’t just go to the middle of the map and spam R-77/AIM-120/PL-12, chaff, flares and go everywhere with afterburner.
sometimes its better to play safety, defending ur team from MP height or kill low height enemies so ur teammates can reach bases, NPC vehicles or catch high altitude enemies off guard
nobody said this
Su-27SM is made to fly high or low? when i go low i usually get good results, but when going high i always get 0/1 kill, or i dodge like 8 fox-3s and i can’t play offensively or i get gangbanged by the same 8 fox-3s
OOOOOOOOHHHHHHH

i already asked for decompression on other topic, but if Gaijin doesn’t do nothing or my topic doesn’t reach the ears of the very “biased” managers of Gaijin Entertainment. TM, then i can’t do nothing more than complaining about something they probably can do
honestly in top tier air it doesn’t matter, its best to stay where air is thick because you cant have someone shoot a missile up into you from below plus you can make a sudden dash for Mpath or use terrain to your advantage, flying high is very risky when the typhoon will climb further and faster and fire a BVR missile before your radar has a healthy lock on them
Su-33 sucks when dogfighting cuz its heavy (Su-30SM airframe but a bit lighter and with “stronger” engines)
i always destroy Su-33s in custom 1v1s, even in my normal Su-27 (not SM)

any specific reason you keep being antagonistic towards me?
Being toughened up for carrier operation did take away its mojo for sure but its still a quality turner.
i have hammered them in a harrier many times (just as I’ve kicked regular SU30s) because I know how to handle my aircraft at low speeds better (not just pull the cobra button) however I do believe that my victories are usually more out of enemy pilot error than airframe advantages.
even knowing that Su-30SM is ABSURDLY nerfed with its sh*t engines and bad maneuverability (without TVC), the R-77-1 SHOULD be nerfed.
i got a lot of test drives on it (i love it, its my dream to get it, just 160.952 RP more) and the R-77-1 is very good at all ranges, i never did kills at more than 20km, but i got kills at 42km in the R-27ER, and knowing that the R-77-1 is pretty similar, its could be even better.
so yes, even being a “soviet main” (not anymore, Tornado IDS WTD61 4ever to get EF-2000, i bought it in the 50% discounts), i know its so OP and it should be nerfed
Su-27
Probably low, It does not have the climb rate or TWR to be good at high alt and a shockingly bad radar. (typhoons also not great but should be a lot better)
Su-30 though, should defo be up high, if nothing else, you dont need to defend always as you can PESA + R-77-1 down any incoming missiles

nah you are literally trying to use test drive only experience as reason for nerfing a missile that isnt overperforming in any metric nor is the jet (su30) overperforming as its worse than both EF and Rafale overall.

Nah dw F-22 got MAWS and spectral flares
that isn’t gonna do much against a IRIS-T or ASRAAM mate. the F22 will still be bloody brilliant but with just 9X and 120d it will be outmatched in SRAAM and BVRAAM loadouts
It’ll do a lot vs. ASRAAM if fired at range.
vs IRIS-T all you can do is spam and pray
on meteor in particular this might not be true as aim 120D has shown similar range but the biggest thing is the close quarters nature of warthunder where the meteors slower acceleration will be a significant detriment

fair point. modern BVR missiles will be pretty pointless outside of sim. I for one will rock only ASRAAMs as I like running no radar anyway
