One random match is not an indicator.
@KYoo
Cross analysis, which I have training for, is the primary indicator.
Matches aren’t a relevant metric for CAS. Most good players don’t consistently spawn CAS, and of the extreme few that do, they primarily play the middle BRs where CAS is balanced.
Ground frags on stat cards also include air RB, so the statcard can’t be used anyway.
So you didn’t training well.
Every match is unique. If you brought random screenshots - congratulations, they don’t mean anything.
He just little umm i cant say this word.
5 launch - 4 kills. And die vs Typhoon. Becose airfield SPAA made nothing.
This only works for AAs as other vehicles are pretty much blind to top tier CAS threats, due to really good range and the fact IR ordnance doesn’t give out any warning.
Most of the time those missiles will be defeated by sheer luck, without any intention or skill behind it.
Su-34 has pretty poor performance against other 12.7s, it just looks “good” because it shares the BR with a plane (SM3) that should honestly be at 12.0 by now.

Hello, just a friendly reminder to respect each other, and take personal quarrels to DMs.
Keep in mind, this is the DEV server, and things are subject to change.
Thanks.

Riiight, it totally isn’t because of how its speed completely outclasses all other AGMs in the game and can be used outside of all SPAA’s range to great effect. No, of course not…

Both things I’ve been doing with AGM-65s since 2022.
There’s a reason I have no Pantsir deaths when using CAS.

You are missing the bigger picture here. All IR agms rely on direct LOS for it to track.
If an IR agm (without IOG) looses LOS, it will stop tracking, and slowly fall out of the sky. This greatly reduces the chance of the agm reacquiring lock
If an IR agm (with IOG) looses LOS, it will stop tracking however it will go to it’s estimated known position. Not only it will hit it’s estimated position, it has the greatest chance of reacquiring lock.
Now why is this important? This really comes into affect when a target temporary loses LOS. So if a target is moving through a forest, hiding behind smoke, or hiding behind a building for a couple of seconds, IR agms (with IOG) has the greatest chance of hitting the target.
I think you’re missing the point here. By poor platform, he probably means subsonic. yeah sure it’s not going to win against a euro fighter in a 1v1 but that’s not what it was designed to do. What the SU34 can do over the SM3 is that it can fly much higher and maneuver much better against SAMs.
The SU30 does the same thing as the SU34 but better. Not only that, it can carry a TGP which works really well with the KH38ML (laser variant). It is quite literally a better SU34 because it can be used in all environments.

We all know IOG is a benefit, but I was just stating that you won’t really see CAS targeting you, so “seeing something, popping smoke and being safe” is not the average gameplay.
Being a subsonic jet at 12.7 in GRB isn’t just poor, it’s terribad.
Su-34 not being designed to do something doesn’t mean anything as it’s forced to do just that in order to survive. It will lose the fight to other popular 12.7s which makes it pretty poor aircraft in my eyes.
It has some defensive capabilities but that’s nothing to show off, meanwhile SM3 is basically a RP pinata.

plus you can spawn SU34 after you dead on SU30SM with the SP cost does not conflict
so 12 KH38 or 11 if you carry TGP, from a single player
how much CAS is enough?

I should’ve clarified. what I was trying to point out is the common cases where agms (without IOG) will lose LOS resulting in them missing the target.
Because of how long Mavericks take to reach the target, anything could happen.
True but the KH38 makes it extremely deadly. If it got reduced in BR, then it would it would be even more of a menace in a down tier.
If the SM3 got it’s KH38 removed and was replaced with the IR variant of the KH29, then I would see it going down in BR.
The issue comes with balance. Really good fighters such as the Euro fighter, F-16, etc comes at the cost of carrying mediocre agms and vise versa
Not enough give russia the Tu-160 and classify it as a bomber.
(it can carry 12 Kh-55)
True, but actively looking up at trying to avoid AGMs is nothing something that can be done effectively.
Menace until anything that flies shows up.
It’s definitely more of a Tornado Gr4 equivalent than EFT/Rafale/Su-34, so at 12.3 it should look better.
True, we just need much more decompression as placing 14.0 planes down to 12.7 is a ridiculous move.

I think your focus is wrong, because it is not historical that the Su-30SM has the KH-38MT. There are no documents or videos or photos to prove it.
Wait wait wait.
THREE 30mm gun pods? on an F-15E?
Gaijin, please.
According to the video in the report the F-16 can also carry it.
Please god add this it’ll be so funny.
my report for the GPU-5/A to be added to the F-16A-10 (which did actually use them in service, for about a week) also exists, but was on the old forum, so it’s basically lost to time at this point but was created (and accepted) when the F-16’s were on the Dev server.
As an aside said proof isn’t enough for the other F-15s to get it though.
The funny thing is AGM-65 in game has the wrong speed it should be going mach1+ which was bug reported and passed. Now will we ever see a fix, probably not for another 2 years. AGM-65 Maverick likely incorrect flight performance // Gaijin.net // Issues
