The Su-39 is a better choice when it comes to CAS and the A-10C is better in CAP. But the Su-39 can deal with other aircraft if need be. Both can be seen as equals with what they bring to the table.
The Su25T is worse than the 39 because it only has the kh29T, not the kh29TE (which have a greater range). I can maybe see it at 11.0 but it’s still a stretch because the kh29T is still usable.
This isn’t directed towards you but the “superior platform” is a weak argument to allow for OP broken systems (A2A, A2G) to be in the game.
Yes, the Eurofighter is a superior platform but how much does that matter in GRB? Dogfights rarely happen. It’s usually whoever catches who off guard that wins. It’s not like the Su30 is incapable of defending itself.
Weak platform usually works when it’s not in top tier. The reason is because the BR can be raised where it faces tougher opponents. But if it’s already in top tier, other than changing the weapon systems itself, what can a BR raise accomplish when it’s already in top tier?
AASM250 is a bomb with rocket engine it’s drasticly slower, has less explosives and could be heavily nerfed.
Only if you locking the ground both of them have same seeker and it should be somewhere between 8-6 km when locking tank in good weather.
I think it’s about dodging the AA missiles Su-30SM has difficulties with that due to weak engine and speed loss which could be less problem in other platforms.
Lock target is 20km in perfect conditions and it will take few minutes to get there from max distance it is a slow thing slower than maverick it’s basically bomb with IR seeker
It’s not second best it bearly could be consider it as AGM with engine that can’t even lift it from ground.
Like how ? Su-30SM can contend only because it have superior weapon and radar in all other aspects Su is inferior in terms of speed gain it worse 2 times
For me it’s the fact that the brochure itself uses rather blurry and faraway photo. Surely if they are really the manufacturer, they can get a closeup shot that doesn’t show the goddamn skies or SU-34 canard.
If it’s “only a bomb with a rocket booster”, then remove IR guidance and limit it only to GPS.
I meant the Su30 was weaker than the typhoon if you ignore the radar, AAMs and AGMs. I got my wording wrong. Still funny watching soviet mains justify a paper weapon though and deny the same for everyone else
And from what I’ve seen, there’s still nothing that substantiates the existence of the Kh-38MT. A whole lotta word salad from brochures and spotty pictures doesn’t quantify as evidence.
Especially when you take into account the complete lack of presence at expos and airshows.
The Rafale is by far the best current top tier GRB plane currently, yes (and gets surprisingly little hate for it, compared to the KH-38MT slingers). The difference in CAP capabilities between the Rafale and the Eurofighter really is smaller than the one between the Eurofighter and whatever you’d rank third in that category though.
Not all 13.0s in GRB are created equal. They difference between 12.7 and 13.0 GRB air battleratings is that the 13.0s are top tier airframes that get workable air to ground loadouts. At 12.7 you have the Su-27, J-11B, F-15Cs, Mirage-2000-5ei which have the equivalent of a sharpened stick for ground attack. Blame compression.
The same reason the F4U-4 and F8F-1 are at 4.3/4.7, stats based balancing and US players can do wondrous things. They really shouldn’t be. But good point, I forgot that those weren’t uptiered for some reason.
People have been happy to treat russia as a bogeyman for years. Claiming russian bias at every turn. It’s reflexive at this point, and often unfounded, but they do it anyway. The minor nations don’t draw as much flak even in situations where they have equal or superior equipment at that BR.
not really? (I mean Ill bash the french as much as I want as a brit /j) again its more its just a rare plane at top tier I see like maybe 2 to 3 french players a game and even then I can count on one hand how many refales ive seen in the last 2 weeks at top tier
