It’s scary how many incompetent people there are here.
What’s scary is how dense you seem to be.
r73 is very, very hard to flare at under 2km because of the FOV gating, with something like the eurofighter or gripen(?) where the flares pop off in random directions or to the side its quite hard to get flares into the seeker.
And its quite obvious why having more missles, especially in the lategame is important, so i assume i don’t have to explain that as well

it may be difficult for you.
just pilot snipe any enemies at merge, your gun allows you to do that. it is difficult for some. it may be difficult for you. whose skill issue is that though?

Having played with the r73 quite a bit in the mig29G, i can somewhat understand why you think r73 is easily flareable. the missle is somewhat easy to flare in front aspect at 2km and above, but i assure you, in side and back aspect it is VERY difficult to flare at 3km and below.
If you’re having trouble with that, well, its just your skill issue

side aspect was also affirmed by defyn in the 6.0 guide. considering that most enemies will die, not sure how that is a “weak” missile.

Preflaring is not particularly difficult in my experience, simply just waiting until you see them begin to angle to fire and keeping a consistent amount is typically enough.
The Su-30SM’s TVC is frankly just a gimmick that leaves you very open to 3rd party, even if you can secure the kill.
@CAMPER_REMOVER
Looking down on the skilled isn’t a good look.
“But what if they pre-flare.”
“But what if they launch between flare launches.”
“What if they run out of flares.”
Yadda yadda yadda.
IR missiles are still used to this day because they don’t suffer the flaws of radar missiles.
Oh look, it still retains its low altitude top speed despite the original thrust.
And Su-30SM accelerates faster than Mirage 2000.

same with a long time ratefight
Good thing the Su-30SM is below average in that category too
Cope is real
ofcourse it is. do you want it to be best in every category so you can kill all of your opponents effortlessly?
regardless the pointless complaining has already been proven wrong, i will now continue war thunder and if you want to flood the su30sm thread with the “THIS PLANE BAD” stuff then go ahead
Alvis, I just really need understanding here. Why are you constantly comparing Su-30SM to non 14.0 Jets?
Never said or implied that. Seems you only reply to be provocative so I don’t plan on engaging with you. Have a good one.
EFT does that no? Got buffed in the MAWS department too
yes, you are typically the person who is very scientific about everything on paper and what is written down. In reality, you have no idea about the world

You mean jets with inferior radars and weapons…
It’s to showcase that its flight performance is good enough for the weapons it has for 14.0.
The only way Su-30SM goes down in BR is if many, many other jets also go down in BR, including the F-15E which has an inferior kit while having a similar energy retention as the Su-30SM.
F-15E is 1022kg/min fuel consumption vs 866kg/min of Su-30SM.
@CAMPER_REMOVER
So according to your post, everyone that has real world experience are wrong and only you are correct.
Keep claiming to be the only person that plays top BR, one day you’ll accept reality.
Keep claiming that real world experience is paper, all you do is prove everyone here correct.
At what time does the funeral start ?
But wouldn’t it be better and reasonable to compare it with other 14.0 jets? Because its performance in 14.0 doesn’t make sense if all comparison it has are on non-14.0 in the first place
