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

They never mentioned flight models in their Q&A.
No acknowledgement of the concerns, even if they are true or not.

825

Which is incredibly frustrating

826

Can’t wait for another update to be outshined in, the power creep continues

Su27sm has been a huge pain to play. Im just using the HMS to lock now since the radar is too slow to pick up anything before the enemy launches an aim120 and turns around.

Doesnt help that that can dodge my r77 from 8km out while the aim120 needs to be at least 20km out to have a decent chance of dodging.

You are really overrating the amraam

832

Overrating mine? Yes. The enemies? No.

I fire the aim120 25km out at 10km alt going mach 1.4 and miss. Enemy fires from 36km out near sea level and theirs follows me at lethal speed for 20+seconds.

Still better than the r77 though by a good amount

833

You see me notching multiple in a row here at sub 10km right?

Must be nice.

835

while R-darter you need 5km to be effective yet R-77 are the worse for some reason lol

836

When did i say the r77 was worse than the darter?

837

When the Eurofighter and Rafale drops, Russian top tier fighters will be so far behind.

838

True. But I wouldnt mind a nation that isnt US/Russia taking over the top tier meta for a bit. It has bounced between them for years, except for that short time Britian was top meta. The Russians just need something with the yak141’s radar and they will be alright.

839

Russia needs their flight models fixed and potentially the R-77 drag reworked, as that’s been stated to be an issue by a lot of people. I don’t know entirely to what extent but if it wouldn’t help us I say give us a new Fox 3 stopgap.

I can handle those. I just cant deal with their awful radar.

841

The Mig-29SMT radar is decent, but my issue is the fact it’s a brick. The Su-27SM tho just has a crap radar.

842

Boo hoo

843

Does the smt use the yak141’s radar? I tried the mig29 and su27sm and they both have the bad radar.

I use the yak141 a good bit and its radar is good.

844

Uh, I don’t know tbh, I am not at my pc rn, I doubt they’re the same though. The SMT came out later.
