Su30SM is underwhelming

New update
Russia is getting new top tier jet
Russian mains: “this is gonna change everything it’s gonna be so amazing”
NATO mains: “this is gonna change everything it’s going to be so OP and undertiered”
It’s mid
Repeat
(MiG-29SMT, Su-27S/SM, Su-34, Su-30SM, etc)

Fixed it.

Its talking about plans to add the engines to the sm2 upgrzde

how did you flare at 0:51 when you dumped all your flares at 0:22

One of? 12 of arguably the best missile in the game?

“Mid” how is 12 r-77-1 with a strong radar mid. Since when has flight perfomance mattered over missile loadout in arb

J11b has domestic engines.

F15l had american engines whichalso happen to have been the most common kind of engine for american f15es.

yeah not many f15Es had 220 engines majority had 229s only very early F15Es did

Because the vast majority of f15e had the pw229.

Su30sm2 with upgraded engines are a year old at best.

I find it pretty irrelevant but i dont really think the su30sm needs the engine’s. Its plenty strong without em. If you think its not competitive its a skill issue

its one of the best if not the best 14.0s

The best i dont think so. I definetly think its more competitive than f15e. F15e only has bvr and bvr isnt very effective. Su30 is fairly good at everything and r77-1 can hit decently far in my little experience

Lmao fr tho, both sides of the isle hype it up. The amount of people saying “gib Aim-120C” when they saw the R-77-1 being added was hilarious. Even funnier when I asked which variant of the C they wanted and they replied with “variants” or “just the regular Aim-120C” lmaooo.

SU-30SM has R-27ET, therefore we should get ASRAAM for long ranged IR missiles :P

It matters alot. The F-16C has a worse loadout than the Tornado F.3 late, but the F-16 is 0.7 higher. The 11.0 Sea Harrier has 4 Aim-9Ls, and the 12.3 F-16A has only 2 more.

And don’t forget about the F/A-18C late with 10 Aim-120s and 2 9Ms.

F16c is one of the woret 13.7(only beat by shittier f16s) in the game. Its flight perfomance is good, it doesn’t make up for the small loadout. Id rather fly the su27sm over it which is saying alot. R77 isnt great but i have 6 r77s 2 r27ets and 4 r73s. Loadout matters more than perfomance in arb.

Replays are BUGGY as all hell! does not show the proper amount of counters, just like it shows that I still have my AoA limiter on but I pull the crazy AoA because it is off.

no its not lmao its been a blast to play for me

its been funny af in my experience, I’ve won plenty of dogfights.

I think it’s fine rn

lol mega cope?

This is not an agreed upon consensus

If you want to be a Blind man you play the Su-27SM over the Su-30SM…the radar alone is NIGHT and DAY!!! Even with the lower powered engines it’s one of the best top tier jets…when you make it to the end of matches…you can easily do the below to stragglers!
