Yeah I usually use the et just because at range people aren’t really expecting IR missiles and defend for radar missiles
Even if an aircraft has a MAW, lock your irst on it, it’s far more likely to hold lock even when flaring.
N010 is imo the best radar i’ve ever used, much superior to that of the su30sm’s. It’s practically un-nut-chable and has better memo tracking than su30’s. And it’s impossible to accidentally teamkill people with it as it’s illuminator is smaller than that of the rest of radars.
based on what
based on nonexisted source.
i agree the su27sm is better than the f18 for air RB
but it’s doodoofardig compared to literally anything else that is not any other flanker or an f18.
This is somewhat realistic though in terms of kinematics, radar and weapon systems.
Russian jets are just not as good, however in game they are given all the tools to do well.
Su-30SM is probably in terms of meta the 2nd best jet in game.
It’s fast enough, it has excellent Radar, Missiles and RWR and an amazing payload for all game modes.
If anything NATO top performers are held back to allow the Russian jets a chance.
Rafale MICA missing 30km range…imagine how broken that would be.
Aim120C missing short range capabilities
Typhoons Radar still not great and FM changes can’t turn at high speed and altitude without losing all it’s airspeed.
Essentially ingame we are holding back the Western Gen 4.5 Eurocanards to allow the Gen 4s to compete. When ultimately Russia, China and the US knew they had to move to Gen 5 to maintain a competitive edge.
