ER ? Against Fox 3 ? They’re not hitting a damn thing unless very short range, or your opponent is a moron.
ET are great. But you can bring only 2. And if it’s a map completely covered in clouds (which happens way too often), the ET can’t even lock anyway.
Well you wouldn’t be launching them at 50km
People launch them in pairs an R-77 and R-27ER really hard to defend against
the original post says; “every Russian fighter jet above 12.7”, which includes the su27 and su33.
and my other points still stand for su27sm
It is not useless but in Fox-3 meta they are not that good. They still got their use but it is extremely limited due to it being Fox-1 and ET still a pretty damn decent IR missile. Overall still got use but mid due to Fox-3 being in game
Su27 at 13.0 is great
YES what he said.
sorry for bad eng.
so U C, you R like my comment.
usa is a HOT-ROD _(and im sorry for grinding all the tree on arcade cause now im on ussr just starting Lv8 and all on realistic and i get why u frustrated)
think ill do a second account for realistic USA.
the flanker maintaining energy or not maintaining it is not the issue
the issue is it can’t dogfight at all and the r77s are absolute L tier.

True, but since the post was arguing it was 120C equivalent, the counterpart is needed
in air rb it wins dogfights pretty easily
the SU-27SM has a better fm than the F-15C/E, F-18C and the R-77 is better than the amraam lol
Specifically said C/D equivalent. So I assume he means a late C variant like the C8, not the C5 and the C5 is a fraction of its IRL performance and barely a sidegrade over the A/B. R-77-1 is still probably the superior missiles between C5s and R-77-1 in everything except extreme long range BVR fights, but all ARH are stupidly easy to defeat at those kinds of ranges
R-77M would be the appropriate missile to add when Aim-120D, Meteor and PL-15 are added.

R-77M is more of a AIM-260 counterpart than 120D-3

It depends on the Range it has. But Id guess the R-37 is the Aim-260 equivalent and not the R-77M
R-37M is an AIM-174 and PL-17 counterpart, totally different class of missile

I have no way to know about SU30 but I’ve been having tons of fun in the SU 33 even with it’s shortcomings at its BR
Haven’t had the chance to test the Su-33 with my own hands but it definitely looks like a fun jet (if not fully uptiered). I should get back in a squadron to grind it.
The Su-30 is also a nice jet, the FM is poor yes but the radar and missile kit make up for it, hands down the most fun I’ve had in a jet since its release, furball nightmare ;)

I like to mix the r27et with the er on it

Do you always bring the ET no matter what?
Usually I pick the ET when it’s not extremely cloudy, and usually shoot them at non-MAW aircrafts. They are really situational at 14.0 but they can work :)
