Sukhoi Su-27/30/33/35/37 Flanker series & Su-34 Fullback - History, Design, Performance & Dissection (Part 2)

I would say typhoon is better cause u get the choice of playing high and low, as well as better manoeuvrability. F15E whilst not as good as it was, is still the most consistent thing, if u play conservative there is next to no chance anyone takes u down. Su30SM is really good don’t get me wrong, but it is at most equal to F15E and worse than eurocanards.

Typhoon you shouldn’t play low, your speed is the same as everyone else’s on the deck and your missiles and Radar are not good enough, Typhoon needs to be high and fast and further away. Typhoon needs to be played more passively. Yes 1 v 1 and when I know where a jet is and my Radar is working Typhoon can beat anything even a Rafale, it’s hard as they just auto notch your missiles but it can be done.

But in the chaos of 16 v 16 Typhoons Radar even in narrow scan mode is a liability.
With a better Radar like the PESA on a Su-30 Typhoon would be notably superior.

But Su-30 will always have greater kill potentials and we see that when Karma flies a Su-30 and when he flies a Typhoon.

Are you guys able to dump fuel on any of the flankers? Looks to me like it wasn’t modelled for them yet(?)

What do you know about meta? You’re negative in every rank 8 plane you have except Tornado F.3.

Your point? Gripen when I unlocked it had the R-Darters (trash) and the Typhoon has never had a working Radar and was a painful stock grind.

So in the worst Rank 8 plane I have a positive KD…

Also stat shaming when you can’t argue a point is just lame dude, be better

My point is you’re in no position to define meta and you rate Su-30 over Typhoon because you’re bad at the game.

Su-30 Is Far More Brutal Than I Expected

One of the best players performs better in the Su-30SM than they do in the Typhoon!

Playable again or was it just a SKILL ISSUE?

I don’t profess to be a great player but dying in game teaches you far more than killing.

I’m also going to assume you have never played or flown Typhoon but believe the hype it’s the best jet in the game?

Limited LOAL time, baller.

MICA-NG when?

Meh, flow density is still laughably bad and looks like it’s barely getting beyond the nozzle.

Hell, the F-16’s afterburner graphic doesn’t even meet the dive petals.

Kind of agree, but at least they got rid of the ugly 2010 style inner texture

Meaningless, a good pilot being able to throw hands vs air rb randoms doesn’t make Su-30 more meta than EF/Beagle/Rafale. Don’t get me wrong, Su-30 isn’t a bad plane, but it simply isn’t as meta as the big 3.

You clearly haven’t learned.

It’s up there—above Su-30, mind you. Just because you can’t get it to work for you doesn’t mean it isn’t.

You are entitled to your opinion.

I ask you this would you trade your 12 missiles, superior Radar for the Typhoons Radar and flight performance and payload…

Of course you wouldn’t no one would and that’s the point at top tier Typhoon has the worst Radar and the worst payload (second only to the Gripen) but it is fast and in BVR it can defend and crank. But that is literally it.

Typhoon is fast and murders most things in 1v1 but we don’t play 1v1 we play 16v16.

shi maybe

Luckily Typhoon excels at both.

Not 16 v 16 the Radar and payload are insufficient, you end up firing off 2 missiles and not getting a kill and then you have 4 120s left for the late game it is a real balance.

YOU end up firing off 2 missiles and not getting a kill. Everyone else is doing just fine.

Bullshit

No it can’t

Debatable it still stuck to horrid carrier that can’t do shit

I would argue su-30 is definitely more meta than f-15e for ARB/ASB. I would say its worse than the eurofighter/rafale.

F-15E has more chance to run away from Eurofighter/Rafale, Su-30SM can’t

well, unlike the f-15e which compresses like crazy, the su30 can keep up with a notch fight with the eurofighter, rafale not so much. with its hobs missiles it still stands a chance against those jets, f-15e is just forced to run away
