Lmao, anyway. There’s a lot more to plane capabilities than just the depth of the magazine.
But regardless, Fox3’s are still tools at forcing the enemy to behave the way you want.
Oh right, you mean like
Arguably best in class radar ✓
Highest quantity of high caliber CMs ✓
IRST ✓
NCTR✓
TVC which pairs almost perfectly with the R-73 IRCCM and envelope ✓
Tell me did I forget anything? But surely the 30SM is actually trash and needs the SM2 upgrades…
TWR is a huge one
Where did I say that?
Why don’t you use your tools correctly to make up for that then?
RBE 2, Rafale
As opposed to not being able to use BOL Pods, which can pop as much chaff as they can?
PIRATE and whatever Rafale has is better, because it can also act as a TGP
Funnily enough, Rafale also gets the same 51 types NCTR
You mean a gimmick?

Can ask you the same thing…
I’m not the one that seems to think the Su-30SM is anything but the best aircraft in the game.
Because outside of guns only 1v1s it flat out is.
Probably because it isn’t. Can handle them easy enough in the Typhoon and Rafale
Maybe an unpopular opinion. But Su-30sm its trash. Right now the only fun it have its the stupid amount of Missile. And its the only reason it sit on 14.0.
Rafale or Eurofighter are way more brain death to play and fun. Rafale being stupid broken that with just a turn you evade any missile in game… Sadly they don’t have the same amount of missile.
First time since MLD was introduced Russia is on a somewhat even field, and it instantly makes people mad.

I’ve noticed since the patch a decent increase in people multipathing
wait until they discover that if missile coming from above close to 90 degrees angle multipath will be extremely unreliable
Does anyone have a real picture of a Kh-38MT btw?
Yea you forget the overnerfed flight model and awful twr. You forget the r73 often oversping and basically very easy to dodge. You forget the r77-1 have the biggest drag. You forget the f16, f15, ef2k, rafale, gripen, m2k, j10, j11b better than su30 in every aspect

120 cannot do what the R-77-1 can.
R-77-1 can pull harder a 120 within 7km doesnt pull like an R-77-1.
With the change to BVR as in players arent doing it.
We end up in the short to medium range and the R-77-1 and MICA are the meta missiles.
Su-30 is probably the 2nd best jet in the game.

The tradeoff for the aim120 having much better longer range longevity
Which becomes less relevant
As players are now flying lower or defending better.
R-77-1 and MICA are the new meta.
There is not a Russian player that would swap 8 120s for 12 R-77-1

Still as relevant as always.
There’s a reason why the best loadouts for the Su-27/30SM’s are a mix of R-77/1’s and R-27’s.
R-27 is great because of how fast it is and it’s acceleration and chaff resistance
R-77-1 is great as it can do everything…
120 can only go far as it doesnt pull.
Its long range is good, its medium to short is poor.
You cannot sit in the notch throwing 120s at short range they will miss. You can with R-77-1 and MICAs.
When the F-15E wss added everyone was high trying to BVR now it’s a handful of players and the payload of the Su-30 just dominates them.
Because it has long-range longevity, unlike the R-77’s.
But it is a heavy loadout on an already heavy plane, so I also have a lighter version of it, ~1t less.
The R-77-1’s lack the long range pressure of the R-27’s or AIM120’s, especially since the Su-30 engines restrict your battlefield presence further back behind your teammates even before the engagement starts.
But you can use them to force the enemy into going defensive, while pressing the advantage with R-27ER’s, R-27ET’s and R-73’s.
Funnily enough, that’s one thing people don’t do enough, pressing the advantage.
