Should premium F/A-18 players be worried about the new Su-30Mk2?

Since I myself is a F/A-18 player (Mainly having the F/A-18C early USA) I wanted to ask if I or any F/A-18 premium players should be worried or concerned once the new Su-30Mk2 comes out. Is it a better fighter jet than the F/A-18 (Like all the premiums) and will it cause chaos and worry in down tiers or up tiers if anyone faces it in battle.

This is just a curious question I wanted to ask.

I for one am not worried.

I have the CF-188 and already face countless F-16s and SU-27s in an uptier. The premium SU-30 is basically a J-11A or a SU-27.

I’d say R27ERs are more annoying than R77.

It will cause issues for those who decide to take fights they shouldn’t to altitude.

100%

I mean to be fair the su30mk2 can take either, I myself if I were to buy it would bring 1-2 ers just because of their sheer kinematics and seekerhead

You generally MUST be worried about any plane that is 0.7-1 BR higher than you and that is interested in you.
Otherwise it’s just Su-27SM with a worse engines

Well I heard the new premium is basically a much worse Su-27 by comparison but I don’t know if that’s true or not.
