TWR isn’t everything.
Dogfight capability matters a lot, and Su-11 is still a marginally improved Me-262 copy with stronger engines.
And that’s why SU-11 is always at the attacking side, imagine P51H VS Spitfire MK18 or N1K1, or worse

yes, thrust to weight isnt everything.
but this is like trying to argue the zero’s are fine at their br because even if they cant actual compete when someone uses a brain because everyone is objectively faster than them, they can turn well so sometimes they will win.
the reality is, things with higher speeds and able to keep that speed are generally going to win UNLESS they make a mistake, which is why the su9 and su 11 was so dominate for years, because only idiots ever lost in one.

the ho229 just needs a few minor FM tweaks and the 8.0 mig and sabres need to go and its fine the SU9 is probably one of the best 7.0 jets the HO 229 is fine at the br what could probably go up is the SU11 as that things kinda crazy since it can out energy ever 7.0
HO 229 vs SU-9 is fair relatively the only jet the SU-9 out right beats is the ME 262 and F80 A5 if it plays energy at all
