Obvious misinformation. On faster plane you get to enemy positions earlier, so dummies might catch missiles before turning away. Plus, you obviously give missile more energy, plus you can unironically dodge missiles kinetically, without need of much CMs, as I sometimes do with F-16C. Heavy weight with no proper power for it=death in top tier

The only aircraft you have is a MiG-21 Bison.
Please believe me if I tell you that in general SU-30 will clap F-16 no matter how fast or high F-16 is flying and that SU-30 usually has more than enough energy to evade missiles.
Especially if you use the effective range you have while taking advantage of it’s arsenal. Unlike Rafale for example which is just as dominant you often do not have to get as close to the enemy or play as aggressively to achieve the same results. Hanging back a little actually is quite reasonable.
If you fly to fast and to high especially straight towards the enemy chances of kills are not to high to begin with while you increase the chances of yourself being spotted by the enemy and consequently engaged.

Let’s be honest guys, currently, there isn’t a single nation that can’t do well in the top tier meta. Some will do a bit better some will do a bit worse but in the end it’s somehow balanced…
Su-30sm is enough for top tier, it’s a good plane but it’s also not op, it’s perfectly balanced.

Facts, only super OP plane rn I would say is rafailure, just so damn good in everything

I don’t have it yet so i can’t opine 100% accurately about it, but yeah, from what i saw it’s probably the best jet for now
SU-30 and Rafale take the crown.
i would say so looking at the winrate as well
not even close
ik looking at winrates dosent paint the whole picture but it can indecate tendencies
I think if you master the EFT and get used to its crap radar you can do better with it than with the 30SM, but honestly i don’t have enough patience for that lol. I have the F-15E but only played two matches with it so i also can’t opine 100% about the plane, but i expect it to be also pretty good considering it’s basically a busted f-15c.
In terms of ability not of random player stats.
I personally like both equally, Rafale has the ludicrous acceleration and retention, better short range missile and HMD with IFF. SU30 has more varied missile-kit, 6 more missiles and a much nicer radar imo.
It really depends what you value in a fighter, and the skill level of both pilots
I played all 3 Eurofighters and Rafale after Storm Warning. Rafale did better from the start. Now Rafale does even better while Eurofighter is doing worse.
SU-30 and Rafale are the crown jewels right now.
both radars are pretty much equal imo, especially after they added TWS ESA
and you might be able to argue that the rafale one is better because of the higher gimbal limits
I’d take SU30 radar over Rafale any day, but I’d also take Rafale’s radar over pretty much any other radar in-game too. SU30’s is just much faster/more convenient scan areas for my playstyle.
They are rather evenly matched at the moment both with their advantages and disadvantages.
Srsly? I thought the rafale one was the best.
well it also comes down to personal preference to a certain degree
but in an actual match i would say that both radars are more or less equal
This should get pretty equal (or even have an edge) once the Su-30sm2/Su-35 bring the IRBIS iirc? I remember reading that it had 120 degrees or something.

±125 for scan, ±120 for track
Not sure which would apply to TWS
