Meh, they would get it at some point regardless (for the howling for new toys is never ends)
Can someone test if this works on the r771 on dev?

looks like it can, but as you can see the last R-77’s that were launched went totally the other way almost
What a great update this is…The 2 best jets in the (Meta) game receiving buffs…
Stop with your copium already. The Su-30sm its not the second or the best jet in game. No even close.

Just noticed… as soon as i saw the wing gap I knew
The center pylon spine from the Su-34 and that gap in the slats is really unsightly

agreed
If we look at what a jet needs to be competitive the only thing the Su-30Sm lacks is acceleration and top speed.
Payload: yes 12 R-77-1 2nd best missile currently 120s are better at range but suffer when distances reduce. R-73 is still very good close in.
Radar: Yes an amazing Radar
Can it dogfight: Yes not against a Eurocanard but everything else yes.
Su-30SM is more meta than an F-15 or a Typhoon.
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?
