Go ahead then, say that SU-27SM is op and watch everyone laugh at youfort the literally objectively wrong statement, i know you want to say it, dont hold it in

Tell me 1 single thing SU-27SM does better than any other 13.7. Just 1 thing that matters for an aircraft in the current state of the game that SU-27SM does better

The average skill in sim is very low, likely due to it not being very beginner friendly, complete reliance on your avionics with zero help from markers like in RB and the default controls-presets being absolute garbage.
It’s not uncommon to get into games where the entire enemy team are not performing well at all.

Ah yes, not unplayable = OP.
HMS gimble limits, range and maneuverability of the R-73, instantaneous turn rate, top speed on the deck, close range performance of R-77 (MICA is better, but R-77 is like the 2nd best one at this).
No one else even has things like R-27ET or IRST, so they can’t be better. They are not meta, but they are very sneaky.
If there are many F-4S going high straigth for bombing, it’s posible.
You’re really overestimating how good r27Er are. They can be avoided as every other missile by notching or simply going cold. I’m taking 4 aim7F over 2 27er every day of the week. I prefer having 4 chances of success with a slightly less performing missile than only 2 with a better missile.
Like I said, right now maybe I am, but they used to be absolutely broken.
I said useful and practical things that matter. Not gimmick stuff. And range on R-73 is basically the same as 9M.

They were never broken and that’s why I was stating how important it is to having TRIED to play Red Team before writing your opinion. They are this super weapon in your head when in reality they are slightly better than aim7f. Source: I tried both sides, extensively.
They have never been broken, not now, nor never. Tbh before multipathing was nerfed, they were mostly useless, because everyone was flying low.
Really, try to grind Red so you can see for yourself. And you’ll change your mind after suffering through the grind while losing 7 games out of 10.

He only plays USA, he can’t play Red. He would have a stroke if he did

You say Russian planes suffer largely due to flight models and now you say tools for dogfighting are a gimmick?
Are you talking about this amazing dogfight missile, the R-73? This is from 10 minutes ago. Literally broken for 1 year now, its a gamble if you try to use it in a dogfight

Must be a rare issue, I’ve never had this happen on my R-73
This happened to me more than 100s of times by this point, since the addition of SMT
And its not an extreme shot by any means for the R-73, ive had it hit more extreme shots, and fail much much easier shots like this too many times.
They acknowledged my report on this 7 months ago but they don’t know how to fix it or don’t want to fix it.

Interesting. I guess I’m one of the lucky few that actually has performing R-73s. I love these things in dogfights.
I’ve grown to hate them because of how unreliable they are. When and if they work it feels great. And im not trying to make the missile defy laws of physics, but it misses some easy shots sometimes which is infuriating.
The problem is that none of these things matter whatsoever against an F15C or F16C playing to their strengths. The current way to play the Flanker is basically to rat radar-off, or literally put a mountain between yourself and the enemy, and hope that they mindlessly approach you.
I’m not against Meta’s. I think they’re unavoidable if we want to keep any semblance of reality whilst trying to balance 10 nations against each other every single update.
However F15C’s and F16C’s are vastly superior in terms of all aspects of the current meta, this being flight performance, especially at altitude, coupled with a much better missile for longer ranges AND, most importantly a radar (the main instrument for situational awareness in a marker-less mode, as well as the main instrument to engage your targets). Like seriously, the difference in radar is not even close. The Viggen radar at 11.0 would literally be a 2x improvement on the current Flanker radar. There’s too many disparities. At this point F15C/F16C’s should honestly be 14.0 in sim with the decompression. There’s aircraft at up to 1.0 BR differences with not even half the disparities between Flanker and the F15/F16C.

Youll never get a proper shot because of how utter dogwater the FM of SU-27SM is lmao
“It broke once therefore it’s broken.” I’ve never seen anyone else complain about R-73, but I have seen people complain about AIM-7M losing lock randomly and I’ve experienced it myself multiple times.
Edit: Can someone explain why this was flagged as off-topic?
Not once. I had about 20 videos of this recorded, before I decided to stop recording because I only have 1 hard drive and deleted them all. And those are the times I had shadow play on. So many times I didn’t record. İt doesn’t make sense to count after a point.
