Decompression made it more enjoyable ngl
Unbelievably so, just had a 4 kill game rn thanks to mainly seeing 13.0-13.3. Have only had 1 full up tier so far in the 5 games I’ve played so far which isn’t horrible all things considered. (With 2 of them being full downtiers >:D)
Su-27sm is definitely 14.0 material. Best 13.7 for arb
Went from second worst 13.7 on release to best 13.7 1 year later

Yea the thing was literally the worst jet that gaijin has add in years. I used to have like 45% win rate on that thing.
what changed?
-Better engine
-Change to the Oswald and FM
-Change to the radar?
-Dual Pylon.

did they buff this update?
no
oh so all those previous changes with the decompression made it good?
indeed. although the main buff was the new engines + sustianed turn rate buff 9 months ago (that makes it overperform pretty substancially in sustained)

How is compared with the J-11B?
Decompression may have help a lot. Because i Grinded the Su-30sm on the Su-34… The radar was still trash at that point. Literally worst than others radar at it tier.
FTR. I think that the radar on Su-30sm its also one of the worst at top tier. To many problem with it. Compare to the Rafale one. Haven’t played this update. To said if it has change.
I would say the bars is good for top tier and has a good gap performance wise compared to other top tier radars
It’s more down to the fact the rafales radar leapfrogs ahead so much to the bars leaving a massive gap in performance compared to the gap with the bars and other radars
I wouldn’t say there’s a massive gap between bars and rafale radar, especially with manual radar slewing
Best way to describe it imo is the BARS is better than all Mech scan radars in-game, and worse than all ESA’s in-game.
RBE2-AA is effectively the equivalent of having 4 BARS running at the same time, so there is a huge gap yeah…

is bars worse than the esa on the kfir c10? unsure what scan angles that plane gets
Pretty sure it is, though I havent added lower tier radars to the spreadsheet
Edit: Yes, it has much better scan volume, similar/superior scan rate and v.scan rate

If your only using the radar to detect people and flying mostly near the ground sure Bars its “fine”. But for me its the worst radar. I started to use Manual control because how bad this thing was. And not even that help. The radar its just bad. Some problem are not specific of Bars. But because i still use 27ER. Its more notorious for me.
Like if i try to send a “silent” 27ER. Trying to lock the same target its stupidly hard and most often you just will waste the missile because its almost imposible to re-lock the same target. Even when gaijin has try to solve this problem.
why use 27er? r-77-1 is best overall fox 3 in game.
even then, i’ve had plenty of success using “silent” 27er on normal su-27s, i can’t imagine how having a better radar in every way other than vertical coverage is worse.
