Russia, on the other hand, is corruption-riddled to the extreme in their military and MIC and is well known for making outlandish claims about their equipment.
Looks at Bradley. F-35 program budgeting, timeline extension, and project data leaks. Raytheon Patriot lawsuit. Pentagon constantly failing audits. The average cost of non-COTS maintenance items.
Let’s be real here, there’s plenty to go around for most countries.
Yes and the public information about the SU57 is also that same copypasted US propaganda.
The knowledge about the Su-57 RCS is the same as the F35 or F22, nobody has any info, every figure or picture you see online is fake and bullshit.
Here, a video by an ex-Rafale pilot who talks about things in a much more nuanced way than the standard american propaganda :
I’d recommend you give it a watch, because his position on the plane is very interesting. There’s a lot we don’t know about the plane, and probably will never know, but calling it a “paper tiger” is a fool assumption.
Su-27SM is officially on-par with F-15C/ outside not having a narrow search mode for TWS.
just add their fox 3 equivalent missiles and unfuck the radars
It was also flown by Sukhoi Jesus.
Fixing the R-77’s FM would be a decent enough start.
R-77 is the equivalent, maybe R-77-1 but then you open the discussion for AIM-120C
Su-27SM received R-73M help close range combat
I don’t mind battle rating up to 14.0
AIM-120C-5 close to R-77-1
R-73M isnt that much of a leap though, compared to 9X, MICA IR and IRIS-T
R-77-1 it still has the same tail section as the R-77 just a longer burning motor
The C model AMRAAM will be superior to it in game like the A/B model are superior to the R-77 now
I thought SU-30SM might be the new aircraft answer.
I also thought that FM, radars, and some missile changes would also be an avenue of leveling.
Thank you!
This is not anything that would be considered solid intelligence. All of this is heresay and assumptions. Any researcher worth their salt would use this but hardly call it definitive.
This is something that could be bug reported. Has it? If so what was the verdict from Gaijin?
Literally all available information from anything not from the Russia propaganda machine.
Russian equipment has failed miserably against NATO equipment for the last 50 years. This is not an opinion. The many wars, conflicts, and incidents over that time have clearly demonstrated this.
The F-15 is 104-0 against Russian equipment. The F-16 is something like 77-2.
Other than Russian claims, claims that they do not substantiate in any way, all available information makes it incontrovertible.
Absolutely accurate.
The truth is the information we players have is ambiguous enough that Gaijin has a lot of room to make the Su-30M competitive with the NATO stuff in the game.
What makes you believe your source of information is not a propaganda machine?
Or you are sure that USA never lies?
In 1992, a couple of Su-27UBs visited a U.S. base at Langley. During this visit, there were training flights between the Su-27 and the F-15D. Representatives from both sides were even allowed to be present in the planes as second pilots. Specifically, Colonel David J. McCloud was in the Su-27UB. After the training, he told journalists that the planes were equal; however, russian pilots claimed that they won every fight.
however, Soviet pilots claimed that they won every fight.
Was that before or after they’d drunk the contents of the Radar coolant reservoir?
In answer to the topic question - dunno.
Gaijin could probably stand to gain by ‘massaging’ the stats here and there but even the latest and greatest of Flanker subtypes are still quite behind. You also have the teeny issue of this game being wholly unsuitable for simulating ECM, Stealth and uplink chicanery (which is what adds a whole never layer of capability to modern aircraft).
The maps being too small. The scenarios being unsuited to lots of Fox-3s flying around. The nastier late-model AMRAAMs, Meteor, and all other kinds of ‘instant no-fly zone’ weaponry that will come along as well. Just a few major issues that go beyond trying to make the old tech of one tree on a par with everything else.
Phase I: Denial.
Believe what you want comrade. I’m not trying to change your mind.
Tell this to other guys who believe F-15 has 104-0 against Russian equipment, and shooting down F-117 was nothing but just miracle.
Su27sm is perfectly fine after its recent FM buff
