here we go
while having more thrust and better maneuverability
exchanged by large caliber countermesures which are WAY better than normal countermesures
but bigger and way more lethal
RAM vs. TWS
also when u were able of firing ur AIM-7M at the Su-27, it was already capable of firing his R-27ER which was way more probable of hitting u before ur Sparrow was even near of the Flanker, and/or the Flanker could fire an R-27ER to the F-15A, notch, and then recover the lock (which the F-15 can’t).
ofc HMD doesn’t make the Su-27 any better against the highly superior F-15A! (sarcasm…).
and AIM-7M wasn’t obsolete by the height of the multipathing back then too? did it have some kind of clutter filter to make it hit a target flying at 50m of the ground? i completely don’t understand ur point.
(completely ignoring that both R-27ER and Aspide-1A are way faster and MORE maneuverable)
so now u’re bringing ARH to the discussion? weren’t we talking about old times and SARH missiles? also IOG is extremely useful compared to the poor AIM-7M which didn’t have.
and don’t make me make DL enter the conversation.
good for u, i still keep a 1.1 air frags in the Su-27, but playing it is hard when u have R-77 and AIM-120 around 13.3.
i didn’t say it wasn’t fair at 13.0, i said if u knew how to play it at 13.0, it was very good (tho it still gets 13.7 uptiers even at it’s new BR 12.7).
i wasn’t talking about MiG-29, and i prefer having good missiles and bad radar to launch them at the perfect distance my radar can actually get a good hard-lock than having bad missiles and a good radar i can’t use cuz my missiles are so bad that launching them at the max distance my radar can hard-lock would be criminal.
Su-27 fits better for 13.0/13.3, F-15A fits quite decently at 13.0 (especially if we keep in mind it’s a goddamn speed racer and has 240CM).
