the IRST is stowable and rotates to show the RAM covered side

Basically Low Speed lift Is still underperforming, only difference Is that now flankers are overperforming even more in High Speed STR

there is a subset of people that genuinely think war thunder is a good example of real life perfomance, you can see it when browsing very casual parts of the community

There is even worse subset of people that think DCS is a good example of real life performance

r27er is incredibly fun i just notched 2 r77-1s whilst nuking him with r27er. very fun

dude rn im playing the su-30mkm on blue side in sim, and its so funny smacking su-30s with r27ets. theyre so good against planes without maws

tbf the aircraft looks good and operate realistically, but the simulation itself is dubious, missiles are orders of magnitude worse than warthunder.
falcon bms however i heard very good things about its modeling of the amraams

in dcs you can out roll amraams by barrel rolling, i wouldnt take it too serious for missile modeling
There is still plenty of IRL factors that you can’t simply simulate due to hardware limitations. It’s close to real life, but never will be real life or a “good example of how planes works in real life”
afaik you can do it against every missile. falcon bms doesnt have that issue.
this is a white paper on aim120 modelling in the game very enjoyable read i suggest

this aside there is no way in hell the r27er should be penetrating the nozzle of the other r27 right?

This is called “gaijin fixed belly pylons on Su-30SM”
Su-27 doesn’t have this problem, but every single Su-30 in the game has it

last time i played the game which was a few years ago, you could do this against most missiles online
F-15C GE was technically buffed, the SEPv2 was buffed and the US got the 18E, NASAMS and M10.
Does that mean Gaijin has a US agenda??? (/s)
Seriously, seems like borderline confirmation bias on your end.

Too bad the F-18E was such a pointless addition, they couldn’t even give it GBU53 :(

Eh, it was pretty much expected, Hornets are pretty mid when it comes to flight performance, their main strenghts don’t have any impact in WT

F-15 received more missiles like the Su-30 and 27 have the fm changes were ignored as were the reports on the 120C being pure trash.
SEP V2 was buffed?
18E is 4 updates too late
NASAAMS they already had it it offers a slightly longer range 120 but it is still a 120.
M10 is nice but they already had the Striker MGS
Lets compare “BMPT Copenator” immune to autocannon, near impossible to knock out the gun barrels and the missiles. Farming Nukes and at a BR too low with horrendously laughable survivability.
Su-30SM2 turned into an Su-35 light all it’s missing is the MAWS.
Su-30 premiums all at ridiculously low BR 13.3 is laughable.
T-80 and 72 reload buff
So while it may be biased it is from near 10 years of playing this game and seeing constant buffs and additions that Russia get that break the game.
