The Su-34 in ground RB, seems almost pointless?
Su-34 shares the same BR of 13.0 as the SU-30SM and Su-30M2. All three have the same x6 KH-38MTs, while the SU-30s have superior mobility, better radars and air to air missiles. It also no longer has a cheaper SP cost either. So there just doesn’t seem to be a reason to take it anymore.
Not to mention the Su-25SM3 sits at BR 12.7 with x4 Kh-38MTs, so you can use that with the T-90M and T-80BMV ect and not have to play at the BR 13.0 games. This way you also regularly get down teired into the BR 11.7 - 12.0 games because of all the premium tanks.
I think the Su-34 should go down in BR to 12.7 just like the Mirage 2000D-RMV is, even though it gets x7 AASM bombs. The Su-25SM3 can also go down to BR 12.0 as the aircraft flight performance is horrible. (But this post is about the Su-34). I think is would give players a reason to use the Su-34 again, which sadly doesn’t see much use anymore.
What do you guys think?
It’s a symptom of adding too advanced gen 4.5s too soon. Su-30SM2 fully invalidated this plane the same way the Rafale fully invalidates the Mirage 2K CAS platforms

But the Mirage 2000D-RMV still has a place, as it sits at BR 12.7 (Which is a pretty decent line up for France)
The Su-34 cant do this, as its BR 13.0
Remove KH-38MT and it can go down

This doesn’t do anything for the M2K as 12.7 is not a different matchmaker from 13.0 in the real world
With 6 Kh-38MTs on a supersonic, somewhat maneuverable airframe? Big no no on going down to 12.7.
The reason why the Su-25SM3 is 12.7 and not 13.0 is bc you get less Kh-38s on a subsonic, less maneuverable airframe. The Su-34 would blow it out of the water at 12.7. Im pretty sure the RMV is 12.7 is because you dont have a good radar, and you have to give up all offensive air to air armament for the most part to carry those Hammers, unlike the rafale and flanker series. Not to mention that the SM2, Rafale, EFT, etc have a much better FM than the Mirage 2000D RMV.
If you got rid of the Kh-38s then sure, it can be at 12.7, but until then it has to stay at 13.0 , regardless of if it is “pointless” or not in the face of the SM and SM2.
Also the Su-25SM3 at 12.0 in grb? Haha… no. It would be busted at that BR.

I think it would more accurate to remove the Kh-38s from the SU-30SM/2s as from what I have seen they are carried only by the S-34 and Su-25 while the Su-30s are limited to the Kh-29/59s.
This thing was cancer incarnate at 12.7
No, it should not go down
No.
But what should happen is it should just get all it’s R-27/77s removed, that’ll make things fun for air RB.
