Its on a par with the Captor M the difference is Typhoon depends on it’s Radar for long range engagements Su-27…doesnt as much. With a much more flexible playstyle
I don’t understand what the su-27 gets to be considered “MUCH MORE” flexible than the eurofighter, r27et?
Typhoon needs the Radar it only has 6 120s and 2 9ms
It needs the Radar it cannot really brawl.
Su-27 has R-77, 27ER, ET and R-73.
It carries more of them and doesnt need to BVR or put pressure on early.
It can come in later and clean up most of a team
it is not
captor M is still better than N001

Marginally better, and yes the Typhoon needs its Radar more.
Marginally?
did you ever play the flanker?

27ER and ET are overestimated at 14.0 matches, although i agree that having more missiles is an advantage, it loses a lot of its efficiency due to mediocre airframe, which is very important for a missile that has less range. if you don’t want to bvr you can also try orbital aim9m shots with the EFT which is also pretty effective, even more considering that it has possibly the best airframe for current Air RB meta.
I believe both su-27sm and eurofighter aren’t far from each other in terms of balance, both have its pros and cons and saying that one is much more flexible to the other sounds kinda strange to me, specially the flanker lmao.

Which one you mean here? The Captor or the flanker radar?
he means the captor, i hope
He’s wrong in both cases

Yeah both perform bad, so there is no marginal advantage haha
You can carry 4x AIM-120 and 6x AIM-9M to be less dependent on radar
Not a bad loadout in SB BTW :)
More fun than slinging AMRAAMs …
The radar is quite a bit better than N001 (which is trash TBH)
And it will probably get even better over time as/if bug reports are handled …

Captor is better i dont disagree
i would rather take the captor than the N001
the Captor is far better than the N001 no matter how you look at it

Yeah the captor is better no doubt on that, what I meant is that the advantage isn’t as big as, for example, a PESA compared to a mechanical scanned radar.
But yes, the Captor is the better radar here, you at least get access to norrower scan patterns which can help.
Captor M range:
MPRF: 80km @ RCS 5.0, Max 150km
HPRF: 150km @ RCS 5.0, Max 200km
N001 range:
MPRF: 40km @ RCS 3.0, Max 50km
HPRF: 80km @ RCS 3.0, Max 100km
What is this supoosed to mean?
target detection ranges for both the captor and N001
MPRF are the normal search modes and
HPRF are HDN modes
