No it isn’t.
F-15E is closer to Typhoon in BVR than it is Su-30SM.
And R-77-1s are better in BVR than R-27ERs. Similar range, vastly more agility.
@Zannafrancy
Do you think the Su-30SM2’s radar is different when using different missiles?
the standard SM yes the SM-2 no now it has the new engines
The main problem with r27ers is nonexistant on with the irbis e radar, you can comfortably guide them whilst defending.
thats just cause gimbal limit rafales been doing it for ages
Those new engines bring the SM2 closer to F-15C.
The standard SM was closer to F-18C.
The AIM-120Cs not reaching their agility is another issue.
You can do that with R-77-1s…
No one is stopping you from using AMRAAMs like SARH missiles with an extra radar.

Based on its current flight model the Su-30sm2 is faster than the golden eagle at every altitude
Su-30SM2 might accelerate the same once MRMLs are added to F-15C GE, but the F-15C series of aircraft still have a higher top speed as well.

Yeah the F-15Cs have better top speed But their not usually fast enough to hit those speed consistently in a match so when you consider 1100 kph as the starting speed due to air spawns the sm2 is a little faster in the 1100-2000 kph race.
its not a large margin by any means and the planes are pretty much the same speed but def not a outspeed situation for the F-15C
Just vor intrest
- Su 30sm2 to op (should be removed )
- Su30sm2 needet (should stay)
- Dont care (dont have top tier)
- Should be nerfed

it’s not like that, but let’s imagine if it is, then tell me how a single jet that has never left testing polygon or air shows and exists in 1 prototype, ended up in French tech tree? I am talking about Mirage 4k and also about Yak-141, it has never entered service or been in any operation
If it were just Rafael who was going to die, that would be fine, the problem is that he’s going to kill everyone.

Judging by what Sukhoy constructors say, the SM2 is modernized to carry whole Russian arsenal for aircraft, that’s their unification program
And also R2Y2, ho229, tandem mai, XF5U etc…
Giving production vehicles prototype modules/weapons is completely different than introducing prototype/paper vehicles into the game.
IMO ofcourse.
