Russian Bias in 2026?

Both have a high missile count, r-77-1 is much better than aim120d, r27et is also available to su30sm, cm count and a slightly better flight model is the only strong advantage, the bars radar is still quite good even though the aesa on the ge is better.

Fairly even matchup, you HUGELY mischaracterized the difference in perfomance, but lmao i bet you werent saying this when for the last year and a half the su30sm was fighting f15e and f/a18c, which were relying on aim120a and even worse aim120c5.

And yeah its doing much better cause the state of russian top tier players is abysmal since the su30mk2 was added. People grind to top tier in a busted aircraft and they suck on anything that isnt plain op.

I love how you tell him to ignore me but youre so incapable of coherent thought you somehow think i said the f15ge is worse than the su30sm, what i did say is that there isnt a huge difference theyre equals, aim120d isnt a buff either but you have no idea what youre talking about so its expected, and r77s are significantly better at shooting down other missiles too

Bigger warhead, better Time to target up to 20 kilometer.

… I wonder why, one is the strongest american aircraft, the other has no reason to exist anymore.

Genuinely terrible Arguments.

Forgot to mention that this hasnt actually been tested by anyone and doesnt really make any sense.

Maybe it’s because the F-15C GE is better?
Surely not

… Why would anyone play the su30sm when the su30sm2 exist.

This is the reason, people dont play it as much as the f15ge.

If youre trying to argue otherwise youre being EXTREMELY disingenuous

GNSS has been tested, it results in literally 0 iog drift. (Visible in files too)
Combine that with datalink and now your missile is able to retract much easier

Su-30SM2 isn’t in tournaments

Which is what I was talking about there.

0 Iog drift isnt the reason why datalink is strong though. Iog drift doesnt matter when youre getting constant midcorse correction through datalink

Dartalink isn’t constantly updating the missile’s trajectory.
There’s a delay.

That results in iog drift causing the missile to waste energy on retracking

Tournaments arent arb. And yeah tournamets take every advantage they can get. I never said the f15ge was worse. It is better, but its not a large discrepancy

“Despite MANY NATO vehicles being incredibly superior to what Russia has to offer”

Your words not mine. The f15ge is not “hugely superior” and it definetly isnt a good example when the f15ge is american top tier aorcraft whilst the su30sm is not.

They’re still relatively relevant.

Nobody said it was a huge discrepancy

I didn’t at least

Uhh.

“Despite MANY NATO vehicles being incredibly superior to what Russia has to offer.”

“Thats simply not true”

To which you reply

And again very disingenuous comparison to make as whilst theyre both 14.3 the us hasnt had a top tier aircraft for the last year +.

Whilst 14.3 was top the us had nothing, when the f15ge was added it was useless, then they buffed it when they made 14.7 the top br and added su30sm2.

Like this literally shows the opposite of what youre claiming

lol “Gaijin doesn’t like China” as China has overtly under-BR’d vehicles such as ZTZ-96A.
China having the best Flankers until SM2 was added.
The modeling to J-10C.

As for J-15T, that’s mostly the fault of the IRL manufacturer and Chinese air force.
You can edit the radar of J-15T, add in ECM [which Gaijin is working on], but that won’t change the 48 countermeasures forcing it to be BVR only even right now.

Did you see what they just did to pl12s???. J15t was also added in an way that its completely non competitive and now it got nerfed even more

Not to mention it also affects the better plane, which is the J10c

They fixed 2 issues of PL-12s, and created 1 new rather atrocious issue; 2 steps forward one step back.
I commented on it on the actual update page showcasing my opposition to the new issue.

That doesn’t mean anything other than there’s a new issue that needs solved.

And the previously amazing j10a

The pl12 had enough range to be useful sure t needed more but its niche was maneuverability.

Now they gave it a slight range buff and killed its gpull, making it a worse aim120, which were already bad missiles

Wth are you talking about

There are things such as selective realism, that exist

F-4J(UK) is an Ex-USN F-4J, but cannot get AIM-7F and Napalm which they had in their USN service
Because we didn’t have them in our arsenal

While the Italian Tornado F.3 can be armed with Skyflash SuperTEMP which we didn’t loan to Italian
Because their planes were capable of.

Every nation has those, but not every nation gets major bug reports ignored for planes and tanks, while also having premier vehicles added in a wholly non competitive state. (however other nations do suffer from that)

The Su-30SM was better, and the J-11B is equal to the Su-27SM.

It got a weaker engine on launch unlike a certain Russian aircraft, and it’s new engine isn’t a very large upgrade either.

I blame Gaijin for not putting it at a BR where a Russian aircraft is objectively better in nearly every way.

And the very good J-11B.
