Top Tier Russian Fighters are worse than nearly all of their competition

I think Su-30Sm would be much better option, not only its more advanced it also has better multirole and BVR performance.

Although Mig29M would be very nice addition.

I never said the jet was strong wtf

Because I switched targets? If I lose lock again, I’ll just lock another target.

Why are you assuming that I think that Russian jets are strong lmao. Its like you can’t read.

The whole point of that post is to prove that the ER isn’t as weak as people think. Saying things like “I could’ve done the same with a 7M” to devalue the ER’s performance.

Why wait? Let’s go straight to the SM2. Since the snail gave 229s to the Mudhen, they clearly have no issue with jumping straight to very advanced models

It was a confirmation , it was the player rather than the jet

And again , it is because of the player , not because of anything significant

It is to say even if the ER is good the jet still suck

Pretty sure no one was thinking this

By all means lets do it, im more than happy to fly with any SU-30SM model, in fact lets add Su-37 with all current Russian Air Force armament so we can utilize both canards/tvc and better R77’s.

Every kill I got with the ER, I would have gotten them the same way with a 7M or R530D

^ this is a real quote from another thread.

Sorry I only read your reply on this thread, so if i missed anything , please elaborate on it

Isn’t the Su-30SM2 an Su-30SM with the Al-41 and Su-35 electronics? (like Ibris?)

+R-37, supposedly. I’m looking for updates sources

I know some Su-30’s use it

You aren’t really showing that you understand the problem that ARH does not require you to do anything and gives you full clearance to play defensive while up to 8 fox-3s are heading for the enemy jet. Playing against bad players isn’t good evidence.

Something has happened the the USSR Mig29 and Mig29smt radar, if nothing else, out of all my planes these radars used to be the best I had. Then, to me it was a subtle change, just after the fox 3s came out, the radar on my Mig29 didnt seem to want to lock like it used to, and yes the Mig29smt, has been neutered. But to be quite honest, I believe the Gaijin thinks they can do better financially with better US planes and the players who play them. I will say this, NATO aircraft have not treated Eastern aircraft well in the last 30 years, however, they have made the Russian planes worse, rather than at the very least, leaving them alone.

Conspiracy with no substance. More likely you just created a narrative in your head to justify a difference in personal performance.

LOL, thank you for your creative response.

How about 600 or so flights in Mig 29 and Mig29smt? But I guess I do not know anything about them.

I don’t really give people extra credit for playing something for a long time. Random players on this game on average just have really silly takes regardless of play time. (Most people plateau in skill really early)

Hmm…I thought the topic was RADAR, but this is a typical forum chat it seems, going off topic and getting into skill issues, player performance, etc. I have F16C, F15C, and some other BR13s. I have 12 years of experience in this game on and off since Beta, I have the Ace tag. Do you not think I can see a pattern that develops? There is nothing at all wrong with my skill or performance, so get on the topic and dont be one of these dudes that you see in Battle Chat all the time talking about k/d ratios and skill issues and the like. You have a very negative attitude really, you never stay on the topic at hand.
Dude to be honest Ive seen replies you make in the community you just seem to like sprinkling sarcasm and drama around. I appreciate your reply because it has made my mind up about disabling the battle chat for awhile because, frankly its getting to be very childish.

Exactly that, yeah. I trust nobody’s “feelings” I’m also not going to address (beyond this sentence) you trying to bait.

^^ :/
Also, it does not matter if it was against bad players. That was a display of the ER’s range advantage. Even if the I lose lock of a defending player, I can simply switch like what I did in that clip.

Please watch the clip closely. I managed to fire, get a kill, then defend against 3 fox 3s. I had the “clearance” as long as I abuse the ER’s range advantage, the enemy did not and had to wait until they were within firing range.

All you’re showing is that the enemies failed to capitalize upon your vulnerability in that particular anecdote. Your clip does nothing to change the fact that you are at a disadvantage in a BVR fight vs Fox 3s when you use Fox 1s.

Since this is apparently a complex concept, I’ve made a simple diagram explaining BVR with Fox 3s vs BVR with Fox 1
