As long as aircraft of every nation receive it along with PESA radar, and are adequately separated from aircraft with more inferior search times, yes, I agree.
In my opinion, asymmetrical balancing would be better, like an Su-30 coming with PESA alongside the Typhoon with its significantly superior flight performance.

Sadly Gaijin doesn’t have the best track record when it comes to introducing game-changing new technologies in a balanced and fair manner

The SU-30 would have a PESA radar which in game is going to be nearly identical to AESA, but have TVC to counter the agility of the Delta Canard configuration of the typhoon/rafale.

I have not heard anything about the base Su-30 having TVC.
The base SU-30 is a twin seat SU-27S. I am referring to the SU-30SM which is the correct counter to the Rafale, I would say.

Gaijin just being extra cautious with AESA on aircraft for some reason. tbh we should of already had an XF-2A which would of just had AIM-7Ms using its first gen APG-1 ASEA radar as a test bed for future AESA radars in game but gaijin said nah…

There is more to it than just being a two seat Su-27, and why do you think I’m talking about a later variant and not an earlier one?
The SU-30s up to the SU-30SM lack a non N001 series radar, as well as TVC. This would neglect it extremely and make it DOA if added with an EF-2000 or Rafale.
Two seat could’ve been a meaningful advantage if Gaijin had actually modeled the benefits this provides, and not just the downside of a bigger and heavier aircraft
Some ideas, just throwing this out there:
-Enhanced visibility/situational awareness (especially backwards)
-Voice callouts for important events such as missiles
-RIO/WSO radar locking things for you using a HMD-like mouse cursor

The SU-30SM was the first of the non export series to use the N011 BARS radar which is the first Flanker based PESA radar.
Early Typhoons would only have AIM-120Bs and AIM9L/Is (AIM9Ms for the british one)
l just cannot find any proof of a production aircraft using the AIM-9 under British use.
I feel like the MiG-29M wouldn’t bring much to the table. Su-33 or Su-30SM/M2 would be preferable. The MiG-29K (Product 9.31) would also be a good choice, it has the ability to use TopSight-E which may give the MiG and new heads up display and cueing.

That is significantly inferior to the Su-30SM.
I know it is.
What gaijin should really do in the next update is give me ur HSTV-L its turret basket back that it had when it was added.
SU-33 would be horribly dead on arrival, the MIG-29KR is the most preferable and expected naval aircraft, the SU-30M2 would be a copy and paste SU-27SM, and the Su-30SM would likely be added with a plethora of other PESA/AESA capable jets for all countries.

Personally, I think the R-27EM would carry it, that’s why I mentioned it.
The SU-33 would only be able to guide a single R-27EM at a time to pitbull (with a largely terrible radar,) and that is only if it were to get them, which is highly unlikely.
