As the air rb community of our beloved game war thunder, we all suffer from some things. some different than others but the one that i think everyone except their players are the SU-30MK’s. They are VERY UNDERTIERED compared to their counterparts like the SU-27SM. Same radar, same missiles, actually better air-to-ground capability. only cons of the SU-30MK’s are the 6 R-77’s(or PL-12’s) instead of the SU-27SM’s 8. and a slightly worse flight model because of the cockpit size. Dear Gaijin employees, THEESE AIRCRAFT ARE GAME RUINING AND THEY SHOULD BE 13.7 EFFECTIVE THE NEXT MAJOR UPDATE. If this message is seen by y’all, i love you gaijin employees as long as you don’t intentionally break the game in favor of profit.thank you.
su27SM is worse for CAS but better jet sort of but the j11A or j-11B is su30MKKs equal which is at 13.3 or 13.7 but moving them up wont help you because I have su30MKK and I already get golden eagle upteir(never seen rafale for sum reason of right I cant see those monsters yet) and 12.7 downtiers I almost never see a 12.3 downteir and this is the like 50th post about these
?
They absolutely should go up in br
27SM is undertiered too
Should be 14.0
Ignore literally everything Gxneral says
He’s essentially TIGER_TANK_2 with his takes
this will probably get merged by mods to a bigger post but here is sum down sides and good sides to the su30MKK (according to an owner like me)
gud:
we get pl12s and r77s
we have decent match making but still atleast someone higher br every game
we get IRST
we get R-27ER and r27ET
we get crazy r73s and pl8Bs
we get get crazy CAS
we also get decent speed but bad acceleration
bad:
slow to a notch
moves kinda like a brick in dogfight
trash radar
trash RWR
crazy uptiers to golden eagles
where did I say they shouldn’t
They absolutely should… but they are printing Gaijin money, so. Shrug
but my performance in the vehicle I am talking about isn’t trashy unlike TIger tank and most recent update is pretty bad for my su30MKK but that’s because I’m rp maxxin(base bombing) we really should be comparing you to Alviswisla
That says everything I need
yes as you would know by now I don’t have any IX vehicles in any tree so why would I use my jets to only air to air that doesn’t give much RP the thing is su30MKK can do both without losing missiles so keep in mind tomkot that is a massive plus for those who have it (bro doesn’t RP max in 2026 that’s misirable notice how I’m level 39 to level 47 in like a week that’s RP folks)
…brother just play sim atp. Better bombing rewards if thats all you care about.
I don’t play sim because I’m on controller I only have 14 buttons but I can make 16,384 variations that’s a lot to remember I also like to play air to air and get the bases my team forgets about
vs a keyboards 20.2 nonillion combinations I think using 104 keys so console sim would be intresting… but I still gotta try it sum day
(Me and my 9-button HOTAS chilling here)
peak a real joystick for a jet game
