So, Been playing this thing and recently unlocked the 27er’s for it. Imo its pretty good aircraft. Has good missiles, decent enough radar and enough thrust to bvr semi decently. Only bad things about it are the dated rwr (Making it harder for dodging ARH missiles), the slightly terrible stock grind, and how it sometimes likes to skip like a rock when dogfighting at slow speeds.
But from what I’ve heard from alot of people is that its worse then most other fighters near its br.
Mainly i was wondering what all of your guy’s thoughts on it were? Is it terrible for you guys? is it great?
This isn’t true anymore, and it’s easily on the top 1/3rd of all 13.0s. It has had a few flight model buffs recently as well, which make it better than it was a year ago.

You would’ve even liked the stock grind when it came out.
Oh those were the days.

Arguably one of the best planes at 13.0, if not the best. The SU 33 is simply better because it’s arguably the same airframe with more missiles.
27ERs can outrange Aim-120s, 27ETs are basically confirmed kills within 4 KM rear aspect.
The only thing it lacks is energy retention, but the R73 makes more than up for that.
only down side is the SPO-15 other that it is probably the best 13.0 right now along side the Su-33

Not really after the latest FM change, it can hold speed pretty well I’d say, unless you are still talking about the 33 here.
