What day would you want me to send you a message?
The difference in performance with the changes is not the gulf you perceive it to be. When a Flanker merges or gets into the midgame and within 15km it is a very scary prospect.
As I said the Su-30SM will fix all these inadequacies. TVC will allow it to be the best dogfighter, the new engines will give it the BVR power and the new Radar will make it deadly in medium range BVR even with the R-77.
I’m not disagreeing with you the F-15 platform is great as it should be, but the gap isnt a big as you make it they both do different things. More like comparing a 109 and a Spitfire and not a Sopwith Camel.
Su-27 is the meta jet at 13.0 it cleans house regularly
Even just F-15C ‘Golden Eagle’ bodies Su-35S.

With all due respect, I don’t think you have the knowledge or experience to make a statement like that
the -new- engines are just the old su27s engines with tvc in it, so it will have less thrust than the current su27sm and also the su30sm is 1 ton heavier, it will not be great at bvr cause the r77 isnt great, the radar will help but thats it, the meta is how fast you can go to boost your aim120 to get kills, combine that with also having the best flight performance planes for this task (ef, f15e) and for close combat the rafale is king cause mica+hmd and also amazing flight performance.
this is a br compression issue, not the su27 being amazing and im only talking about the su27sm.

This is the same Su-27 that faces the F-15 and F-16 aircraft at that BR and does well. That was my point, you are treating the Su-27 like it’s a Tornado and it’s simply not the case.
I have only flown a team mates Su-27 I have played against them on many ocassions and they are not free kills.
Yes BVR meta is to be fast and high…But you really shouldnt be dying to a 120 launched 40-50km away. Too many players ignore the RWR and do not know how to defend. At the same time you shouldnt be trying to BVR joust with an F-15E
Rafale is king of short range MICA with TVC is lethal. Even the Typhoon and F-15 die to Rafale in short to medium range envelope.
I have attached a video of how the Su-27SM should be played. In the correct hands it is very formidable.
See how the R-77 pulls so hard off the rail to make those shots the 120 doesnt do that.

im talking about the su27 with the experience that i have with this plane.
again, the problem isn’t that somehow -the su27 is great-, it’s that the average player sucks even when they have amazing planes, I’m comparing the pure performance of the su27 to its competitors and the su27 is worse in almost every way against them, the fact that the average player is bad does not turn the su-27 into a great plane
and yes, bad karma is an amazing pilot, I won’t deny that, he is definitely better than 90% of the player base on air rb

They want R-77-1 but don’t want enemy to have equivalent.
What is difference between R-77 and R-77-1, and between AIM-120A and AIM-120C-5?
Player level isnt a basis on how good a vehicle is. If anything it shows how easy Russians have had it for years before the addition of the recent gen 4 airframes.
Su-27 has shortcomings, it cannot be the best at everything right now it does most things well not great but well. Gaijin are trying hard to balance the game.
Typhoon should be the best at BVR but it isnt because Gaijin limit the Radars performance and deny the manufacturers flight performance data. They wont add the additonal Aim120 pylons. If they did this the Typhoon invalidates the F-15E.
Rafale and MICA EM range should be the same as an Aim120. But Gaijin have just given Rafale 8 MICA configuration, if they then increased the range it again invalidates the BVR abilities of the F-15E and the brawling abilities of the Su-27/J-11 and J-10
Su-27 carries the most missiles, it has good flight performance and a serviceable Radar. R-77 is superior in the mid/short range BVR as seen in Karmas video it pulls more G and can be deadly. R-27ET is a cool missile no other nation has that capacity.
Gaijin wont allow the Rafale or Typhoon to use IRST to DL Fox 3s. Short range the R-73 is the best missile (yes it can be flared)
Afaik It still have less range than the first versions of the amraam, as of now, NATO countries are the ones enjoying the advantage you mentioned…
I know Very little about modern missiles (that’s why i always put “afaik” before saying something), but, afaik, in simple terms, they just have more range than their predecessor.
R-77 max operational range would be ~80km, R-77-1 can reach ~110km.
Now apparently there are 2 versions of aim120C, the c-5 and c-8, but idk the difference between the two, only that one of them can reach up to ~160km

I heard that there is also R-77 with combined rocket/ramjet engine with range 160 km.

I have no info on that so i can’t confirm, maybe that’s the r-77m but it’s still in development.
it has the same thrust as su27sm’s engine 12500 kgf.
Not R-77M. I mean RVV-AE-PD:

if player level isnt a basis on how good a vehicle is, why do you keep using bad karma video to say that the su27 is good? also this is what i said:
^^
it is in fact not the best at anything compared to the planes that it faces.
again, there is no point simply being good at flying against the air, you need to be good against your competitors and the su27 does not have a good flight performance against most of the planes it faces in the top tier, the radar is also one of the worst if not the worse, r77 is worse than mica on an inferior platform with an inferior radar compared to the rafale, I’m tired of trying to explain this to you, tis is like the last time you came here to say that the su27 beats the gripen and people tried to tell you that this is not true:
