It is already op with 6 in 13.3, moving it up to 13.7 will almost make it balanced. Just look at the j11s and the su27sm. They are 13.7 with same amount of missiles and they stomp their competition that are a equal or lower br.
That may be true for the J-11B, which only carries six Fox-3 missiles, and they should definitely look into that. However, it isn’t true for the Su-27SM. Please check the aircraft’s specifications before making that claim.
Unfortunately, the aircraft can’t use the dual pylons because its fire control system doesn’t support them. The Su-27SM can because it received significant upgrades that allow it to carry and use them.
If they added this, there would be major backlash. It could end up becoming another M60A1 D.C. Ariete situation, where the vehicle gets buffed and then nerfed again shortly afterward. People who don’t own the aircraft already hate it, and they’d hate it even more if it received two more missiles. This isn’t %100 confirmed. I have to keep digging.
Obviously it’s a great br because you are constantly getting downtiers in an aircraft that has better performance than everything around it. But i honestly don’t care if it stays 13.3 or goes up to 13.7 ain’t gonna change much in how game is played
however it lacks a decent RWR which makes it a lot more annoying to use as you lose a lot of situational awareness provided by the L-150 on the Su-30MKs
Also is heavier than the Su-27S so sits between the 13.0 flanker and the Su-30s in flight model performance.
