Not if you are Russian, we are entering the same arguments we have in ground battles when they added the Ka-50…give it a realistic load and it dominated. Sometimes we need to make decisions for gameplay balance.
Like nerfing Typhoons Radar, like nerfing MICAs range
Would you accept if Typhoon had 6 Meteors (like it should) vs the 12 R-77-1 you have?
If it was the sm2 then yeah i’d agree that it would be pretty good, but with that crap engine? Cmon dude. With the f15e which can go at absurd speeds and rain missiles like meteors and rafale with its absurd FM + radar the su-30sm would be the last plane that i’d consider OP in top tier lol.
I didn’t say OP I said it has too many missiles.
The problem with that is players will shoot off 5 missiles to kill a single jet. No other jet can do that we all have to think about the chance of missile shots hitting the Su-30Sm players do not.
That’s a matter for the typhoon thread, instead of trying to nerf historical stuff that aren’t even justifiable (this is not a r27er x sparrow situation) they need to fix these planes.
If the game is not ready for these machines then they shouldn’t be added at first place, period. Adding crippled vehicles to the game is the most insufferable thing gaijin does. If back in 2022 they said that they’d need to wait 3 more years to add 4th gen aircraft because the game wasn’t prepared for them, no problem. I prefer to wait a long time to recieve a good product instead of this pathetic fast-food content.
That explains everything, look, 90% ppl i know that swear russian equipment are too good for the game do not have Russia researched. I’m not saying this in a way to undermine you or smt like that, it’s just that you have a opinion which is based solely on what other ppl say to you…
If you have some extra money, time and really like the game i’d recommend you to buy a russian premium and rush the air tree. I have many friends which had the same opinion but didn’t have the soviet tree “oh, the mig29 is soooo maneuverable111!!”, guess what happened when they finally got these planes?
