Su-34 being placed at 14.0

Why is the Su-34 at 14.0?? It has no air brake, a low top speed for the BR, and doesn’t get access to HMD, so why is a large slow plane, with the same weapons as a more capable Mig29 at the same BR as the Mig29.

only thing Su-34 players can do is wait for dynamic BRs, though this plane should be 13.7 max anyways

Whole plane is an airbreak, it doesn’t need another one

still is a disadvantage for 14.0

air brake is to stop the initial high speed

I can understand somewhat having it on 14.0
But more intresting is Mig29SMT in 13.7 instead 13.3.

Yeah why this thing 14.0 but Su30s 13.7

2 more R77’s. Most likely only reason
And didnt it had better radar
Yeah, lot faster scanning vs prem su

Because it got AESA with up to 8 fox3 missiles (+2 R-73). And you can still bring enough payload to kill a base with glide bombs without sacrifying missiles.

Its efficiency is quite good because of the loadout and AESA radar, despite the lack of HMD and being a boat.

The only other jet at such a lower BR with AESA (which also doesn’t get HMD) is the F-2A with only 4 fox3 missiles, which are the 2nd worst amraams after the derby.

ive had better luck using R27ETs at range

Any time when ground strike in air battles become something meaningful instead of leftovers for whoever can’t get air scores consistently, I’d suggest using Su-34 on simulator battles for that specific purpose if you want to have something meaningful to do in the matches, but the airplane itself won’t have a massive battle rating decrease, that’s for sure from what I can see considering its capabilities and ignoring the disadvantages it has, I doubt.

  1. its not AESA, 2. HMD is way ,more useful than AESA, 3. you HAVE to sacrifice 3 AAM for 1 base 4.R77s are not that good for BVR as you have to be within 9 mile range 5. check your facts before replying

could go down to 13.7 with no problem so it doesn’t have to fight 15.0

the Gripen C at 13.7 is a way better plane for Air rb therefore the Su-34 can be put at 13.7 without it being “op”
