IRL? yeah, even the su-27 should be limited to sub mach 1 with full missile loadout at sea level.
But gaijin doesnt model this kind of stuff
Physics, fuel burn all say it’s not possible. Su-30/35 has limited to no super cruise capability so you are in burner the whole time. You then have the drag from the suspended payload.
Yes in War Thunder it will achieve ridiculous performance but IRL it is not possible unless you just plan to climb to 45kft and sit in burner run out of fuel and RTB

“Onboard OLS allows you to detect and track multiple targets at a range of over 80kms”
is this referring to the IRST or something else? and if referring to IRST, how much we wanna guarantee that Gaijin will still limit it to 50kms?
every IRST ingame is limited to 30km
Nevermind, prolly still either forgotten or just balance limitations. Not like clouds exist quite a bit
It wasnt even best to begin with… MLD was still superior to tomcat in everything but horizontal turn.
I liked R-24Rs with back then MTI 1000000 times more than bugged sparrow F that more often flew in the opposite direction of target, refused to guide, lost guidance mid-way or simply missed because of turn.
Meanwhile 24Rs had significantly better time to target in effective range of both missiles, guided and actually connected, they were pretty much 2 guaranteed kills.
MLD was sh*tting on top tiers for over half a year, maybe longer and tomcat changed nothing, i ate tomcats for lunch in MLD.
The MLD was a lot stronger than it is now, and the Tomcat was always better than the MLD in one circle or two circle. What you experienced was crap pilots flying Tomcats.

50 km for front aspect non afterbunring su-30, and 90 km for rear aspect non afterburning su-30.
