Typically you can only achieve maximum range in LPRF or HPRF modes, PD and regular TWS are MPRF which while very good in all aspect isn’t as long range as the other options.

so you should use SRC, PD HDN or PDV for achieving maximum range.

nope, it has all of 90km range, ACM is still that stupid N001 shape, in other words they have fixed literally nothing and it’s still broken

Still doesn’t change the fact that it’s statistically the best preforming flanked atm

It is, but wrong is wrong and it annoys me that they still knowingly gimp it

I honestly think 30sm is better just because it has CAS and that R77-1 is so nice. Also PESA is nice. Too many people just spam too hard with it.

Id agree but it’s weak engines are a deal breaker for me

True but if we were to not play it up high it should be fine.

weapon set and radar set is so nice on it but the weak engines in combo with the heaviest flanker air frame is a major drawkback. id still give the J11B the title for the best flanker ingame

Yeah, I mean the issue is to use the good engine u kind of have to play up, but then EFT and F15Es dominate, even Rafale is much better.

is the SU-33 a joke to you?

Is the su34 heavier than the 33

probably

It is, but I didn’t compare the su30 to the su34 because it is quite different from the rest of the Flanker family

its like comparing a 747-400 to a Dreamlifter and then asking if a 747-8 is heavier than the dreamlifter

What on earth are you on about

same overall type but very different in role/design

Is there a western analogue to the pl-10?

ASRAAM, AIM-9X, IRIS-T, MICA-IR all fill similar/same role

Neat our only CAS options isn’t completely gone now

the problem with the kh29 is the distance for a target lock, around 6km, it is not really useful at top tier, specially with the new aa
