Ok, F-15 better RWR/Radar/CM count/FM overall and 9M is better in any mode that isnt arcade or arb
That’s 2 of the 3 air modes lol
Yeah? Airplanes are also commonly used in 1. sim and more importantly,2. GRB!
So it’s a 50/50 split for which missile is better.
The HMD helps a lot, and sure the radar is worse but once the bugs are fixed it’ll be more even.
The CM on Su-27 are all large too.
Su-27 fm got buffed a lot recently so I wouldn’t be so sure
No, russian radars are just worse than western ones right now besides 29SMT.
Doesn’t matter when you have the F-15’s CM count.
I play the su27 a lot…
Nothing. But rather pointing out the US tech tree has owned the sky’s for most of the games life
Wasn’t Su-27 up there for a bit?
And the last time the US tt actually dominated was F-14A. Iirc we didn’t even get the best F-16, we didn’t get the best F-15 either
Not really owning in the way the F-14, F-15, or F-16 did. Not even close.
US has not dominated since F-14A. Other tt have been allowed to get better versions of our jets from F-16 to now

F15 moment? Also F15A was still on par with Japan’s F15, only difference was missiles amd the Japanese F15 weighed 500kg more. So idk see your point unless i missed something since i played them on launch.
Fair enough, but when F-15C and F-15E dropped both were overshadowed in air by the JM and I respectively
F-15E over shadowed? That was the single handedly most spammed plane of the last year. Entire sim matches would be a whole red team vs SpamRamm
I haven’t even spaded my F-15E yet and I find it far far more enjoyable than any Russian aircraft.
As the F-15E can outrange most enemies (of course not others with Aim-120) but it has crazy acceleration and even the Su-27SM cannot out run it.
It isn’t a turn fighter sure, but stealth attacks and boom and zoom it excels at.
F-15I is outright better or equal in every way

The F-15I was going to be better until the USA mains took up pitch forks and cried since they didn’t get the best plane of the update.
Then the F-15E got better engines, making them equal pretty much.
When they withheld 229 from F-15E because “we don’t want the F-15C to be overshadowed” then added the F-15I id say it was justified
And the I has lower drag due to engine covers, as well as 120 more countermeausres

Yes the F-15I has a slight advantage still but not a leap.
Flying my F-15E I have never run out of cms, or had any drag problems.
My only problem was trying to use it as a turn fighter against a Rafael
I never said it was a leap. My point is that the US hasn’t actually dominated for some time now, due to other countries getting better versions of our jets.

But hardly anyone plays Japan or Israel air.
You may see 1 person a match or either or.
75% of blue side is typically USA
Where as Redfor is typically a good mix of Russia, Germany, and China
But anyways, back to the topic, the Su-33 is still over br’d same with the Su-27.
Su-27 cannot be 12.7 though. It’s missiles are simply too good to go down.
And su-33 is just a su-27 with much better fm no?
You are correct in both.
That’s why they should both be 13.0.
I personally wouldn’t care if they remove 2 SARH from each to make them 13.0 but being 13.3 is un-useable as all that happens is you get sucked into SPAMRAMM and you literally can’t do anything
