I take it you didn’t actually look at the specs in its entirety. Comparing it to a Su-30SM is wild.

Almost as if the bell maneuver was all it could do

In real life, this comparison would be ridiculous, but we’re dealing with a game and despite all the “realism” claims, it’s very arcadey. Because of this arcade nature, the gameplay difference between the Su-30SM and the Su-57 is minimal.
With this logic then the F-15 isn’t much different from the F-22 and F-35

Wow, nice, so our Su-57 will have no gameplay difference from the Su-30SM? Wait, how does that even work?
No matter what radar you have, no matter the flight model, the R-77/R-77-1 won’t stop being one of the worst ARH missiles in long rage.
± Yes, this also concerns them, especially the F-22.
The Su-57 has much more modern weaponry, much different than what we see in game now. It also has a LDIRCM which gives it the ability to completely ignore x2 Fox-2 missiles being fired at it, it has stealth properties, maybe this blew past your head at Mach 10 idk.

yes it will because it is limited in its loadout options and cant carry as many missiles at once
good thing the the Felon uses the r-77m and r-37m instead
and last time i checked long range shots dont matter ingame and missiles with higher amounts of pull are favoured (e.g. MICA and r-77)
and ontop of that you are talking alot about the meta at top tier without even having any rank 8 plane

Exactly lol, whole BVR/Aim-120 phase of the match lasts about 2 minutes.
It’s not like the r-77-1 is a bad missile for bvr, it’s roughly on par with aim 120a and is only worse than aim-120c5 in terms of range, while having better better time to target than either amraam model.
they can simply add su-57 with 6x external r-77-1 missiles if they don’t want to give it r-77m
i’ve never seen someone claim this, it’s 4 only
f-22 also gets a hilarious amount of double pylons on its outer pylons
Each is rated for 5,000lb too iirc, I wonder what the Su-57’s are rated for
only bad thing about su-57 is probably its horrendous top speed sea level, worse than rafale
Wow, only 7.8km max range? /s
16,500lb payload is surprisingly low. For reference the F-35 has an 18,000lb payload and Su-35 is 17,630lb

it carries the same amount of missiles of irl su-30sm, kinda goofy how all flankers for some reason get the double pylons
MTOW is way higher on the Su-57 and so is empty weight
wait im slow yeah you’re right, I read the wrong thing.
su-57 looks like f-35 equivalent (although still better than it for wt, kh38s will carry it for ground and for arb the fm is much better for turning) and then su-57m will be f-22 equivalent, although f-22 will be superior in terms of number of missiles and su-57m would dominate it wvr probably. kinda hilarous how the us made the f-22 in the mid 90s
Looking at the most recent F-35 info. The Su-57 has only 5nmi greater combat range, higher ceiling (but Ive heard some 60,000 or slightly more claims for the F-35), higher top speed, better supercruise, better empty TWR (1.61 vs 1.47), but worse payload and probably harder to maintain due to being twin engine and not as mature
