In the new major updated ‘Spearhead’ a new rank 8 premium was added to the Soviet tech tree, the Su-30MK2.
In ground battles it sits at a BR of 12.3 with these loadout options for air to ground guided weapons:
The Su-27SM which sits at a BR of 12.7 in ground battles has the following loadout options for air to ground guided weapons:
The Su-27SM which sits one BR step higher than the Su-30MK2 cant carry as many A2G guided weapons at once mainly the Kh-29TD and the KAB-1500Kr, so that poses the question:
Why does the Su-27SM sit at a higher BR than the Su-30MK2?
If anything the Su-30MK2 should sit atleast at the same BR as the Su-27SM for ground battles.

On the other side of the coin, no reason for the Su-30 to be the same 12.7 BR as the F-15E/I
Decompression is a must

if anything the Su-30MK2 has more of a reason to be there than the Su-27SM
Neither have a reason, just compression
The Su-27 at least makes up for it a bit in the CAP department, not being as heavy or as weak engines as the Su-30
Disagree, I take KH29s every time over maverics, also by that logic the j11b should go down in br
Well you say there is no reason for the SU30MK2 to be at 12.7 and the J11B is worse at cas then the
SU 30mk2 so it should go down
Funnily enough, you left out the word down the first time
the j11b should go in br
But my brain unconsciously filled in the missing word as ‘up’ without me noticing
But yes, no reason for the J-11B to be the same BR as the F-15E/I in GRB
Oh sorry its 1am for me hahah
