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

And add R-73s + remove R-27ER + remove R-60 as a modification + stop making it automatically switch between radar and IRST lock

I honestly wouldn’t mind losing the ER for R-73’s, the R-27R is just fine.

I mean I would rather have the FM getting fixed , cause with that all of them would be better not just the base mig29

I never said the FM shouldn’t be fixed, just added stuff to the list :)

the su 27 is a Very big fighter, mirage 2000 is a small one. now nerfed fm aside which is a problem it isnt THAT weird. su 27 burns alot of energy irl too

wat. that is objectively wrong. r77 isnt older than others, and the r77-1 you are proposing is a missile from 2015

sure russia wouldnt be that much worse than france if it was fixed, but it would be weird if it wasnt worse than france, france a2a weaponry and aircraft are just better

Why remove ER? Just fix the BR and FM

I mean, that also works

The Mirage 2000 in-game can energy fight tho, very good too, which is odd. Irl the Su-27 performs very similar to the F-15 in flight performance, so it’s missing a decent amount of performance ingame, someone posted a graph on it here iirc.

This just depends on the era because France for a while doesn’t have anything besides the Mica as their main Fox 3, I think it can be buffed? But like, until the Meteor, the Russians have plenty of weapons that are better.

Du you have it? Id enjoy reading it

Not really tho. Meteor is just the cherry ontop as its a massive overmatch

It’s several hundred messages back, there’s been multiple things posted. It should be there somewhere iirc

Ill try to find it when i got time

The main issue is just a lack of a better Fox 3 for a while, since the Mica is kinda mid in terms of range, atleast rn. Russia would probably get a better R-77 before the French get the Meteor.

Mica isnt correct right now, and the r77-1 isnt exactly amazing either, and there are other mica variants which are just great missiles

Atleast from what I know, there isn’t too many variants, but I could be wrong.

We’re a long, long, long way away from Meteor.

That’s like a truly endgame missile for when 5th Gens and the likes are here.

very far. Meteor is the best a2a missile pound for pound.
