Su-27SM: Ferocious Flanker!

USA players just greatly outnumber USSR players in my experience, I could be wrong though.

If multipath stays, which is most likely will, USA can keep flying tree-top slinging invisible missiles and win dogfights. Meta won’t change due to R77 or AIM120.

Now a supersonic jet fighter with 4 30km missiles air-to-ground, retreating from GRB back to 10.0

SMT is not as good as the f16 for CAS because it’s harder to detect your enemies and the plane is a bus plus it has limited ordinance compared to it, it’s not bad but the f16c is superior. The su25T is overestimated with its vikhrs which work much better in helis, it’s really not that impressive, the SM3 on the other hand i have to agree it’s very good, you can fire your stuff and just gtfo, but considering that it is a subsonic aircraft and carries less kh38 compared to the number of good AGMs that the f16c can use i consider them to be equal, with the f16c having much better flight performance but less effective AGMs and a worse thermal while the SM3 gets better AGMs but less of them and a mediocre platform for top tier matches.

But hey, there’s an SPAA that can shoot down the F16C the moment it spawn in, but the SM3 can just run far away and vaporize your whole team and rearm and do it all over again.

Where tf did you get these statistics and also which su25 are you talking about? If ur talking about 10.0 then forget about it because i’m referring to top tier.

That’s indeed a problem and that’s why they need to give the US better spaa, the pantsir shouldn’t have been added to begin with tbh

i’m pretty sure it doesn’t have to run. lol no SPA can reach it when it spawns only the Pantsir and that would be Russia versus Russia

totally agree, both the sm3 and pantsir are big mistake.

Pantsir can reach 20km range but NATO can only reach 8km that if the missile doesn’t start shaking

They do, but it doesnt change the fact REDFOR players are a bunch of quitters.

Many dont even try to hide it and state its cuz they “have bad avionics” or that “AIM-9M’s are OP”, but the real reason is they have terrible egos and cant stand anything that isnt them going 20-0.

I’ve seen quite a few big sim players get called out for “always quitting the moment they get 1 death” as well in matches, almost always Su-27 players.

REDFOR players are just for the most part uninterested in doing any objective gameplay (hence why they lose so much) and have fragile egos.

Btw, this aint me hating on another playerbase, I havent played BLUFOR jets much/at all for the last few months cuz

  1. I have more stuff to grind on the REDFOR side
  2. BLUFOR players actually stay and fight, so I get to play the game instead of flying around worrying that the moment i kill an enemy they might leave the match

I’ve been playing a ton of MiG-29SMT, Su-27, A-5C, and J-7E, prepping for this update. Id actually really like if my teammates stopped quitting so much so we could win a few more games…

P.S: French players are like this as well, particularly the ones that abuse the M2KCS5 in the 11.7 bracket, but this is no surprise, since the french like the russian are a playerbase of elitist and prideful to a fault players

But SMT has 2 powerful KH29s, and the AGM65D of F16 is stupid. If I could have 6 AGM65Gs, then of course I wouldn’t say anything.

I’m not really against the SM3 but kh38 are just overkill imo, they could’ve added other AGMs that are fire n forget

Since bombs and missiles can be intercepted by spaa now i would assume it would be the same since they are all rendered as an object in the game.

Sometimes your kh29 will just explode in the air because you lost lock and then ur fcked because you have very few of them to use, it’s not really that good, believe me, it’s not bad, but not as good as ppl say

yeah that’s true, the kh29 does, but it kills whatever it hits, but agm65d, forget it, it makes me sad

they can be intercepted right but you can mostly not lock them if directly getting aproched only sideways, because most glide bombs are bigger and have wings radar response mostly be easyier to track

Yeah, it’s quite a balance between being more deadly and having a larger amount of them to use, if the SMT had better ways to detect its targets and if the missile was fire n forget i’d consider them equal, but that’s not the case unfortunately

As a US main, the cope from my fellow US mains about the Su-27SM is hilarious.
The Dev Blogs aren’t even done yet and people are still complaining. Jesus Christ.

Unless it’s sim. AIM-9M is the best missile right now in SIM since you can’t see it
