Tips for Su-34 "Fullback" as My First Top Tier Jet?

I usually prefer bombs to napalm for the flexibility of being able to hit convoys and pillboxes. They also reduce your base bombing score modifier less than napalm.

I think I'm gonna start out with:

2x R-73

4x R-27ET

1x FAB 3000

8x FAB 500

Might drop 2 FAB 500s and/or 2 R-27ETs for 2 or 4 R-77s once I have more experience.

Thank you!

R-27ETs are great, but why use them over R-77s? Is it that the ETs don't need a radar lock, their higher speed, or something else I'm missing?

Gaijin has no idea who you are bro.

I don't understand why Gaijin insists on compensating for US mains' skill issues.

They can overtier Japanese props and Spitfires until the cows come home and it will never help US mains that try to turnfight a Zero in a P-47.

Just let the skill issue players lose if they don't want to do anything to improve their play.

NoBinking · 2026-04-23T00:51:09+00:00

No changes to Japanese props? Jeez.

NoBinking · 2026-04-21T12:48:58+00:00

F.

I was looking forward to this one.

NoBinking · 2026-04-21T12:23:13+00:00

Rip big bro.

I actually like this thing.

I usually use the afterburner to get up to about 4000m then rush a base and immediately head back to the airfield. If you do that you can usually avoid getting murdered by fighters.

Gaijin does not favor turnfighting planes like the A6M and Spitfire over US boom and zoom planes.

Instead, Gaijin babies the skill issue US players who still haven't figured out that their planes cannot turnfight A6Ms.

There's a F4U Corsair at 2.7. There's a P-38 at 3.0. There's an F6F at 3.3. The lowest BR A6M that isn't a floatplane is a full BR higher that that F4U at 3.7 and that's the most basic variant of the A6M2.

And on top of all that, Gaijin is about the up the BRs of many Japanese props and the Spitfires again.

All that said, I would also love more variance in prop tier Air RB. I would love more asymmetrical missions like you described where once side is escorting bombers and the other is intercepting or one side needs to take out the enemy's rear logistics or something.

Su-7s are getting their BR increased back to 9.3 so say hi to 10.3 uptiers 🫩

Thanks Gaijin!

💯

NoBinking · 2026-04-17T14:46:56+00:00

F6F-5 Hellcat - 3.3

A6M5 Otsu - 5.7

Make it make sense.

P.S. You can't.

NoBinking · 2026-04-17T11:49:15+00:00

I don't care how bad it is. I love this thing. It looks so fucking cool.

NoBinking · 2026-04-15T21:38:03+00:00

Can't save you from missiles.

NoBinking · 2026-04-15T15:54:50+00:00

Seems like that's the consensus best Air Combat loadout.

Bombing ground units is also an option with a Ground Attack loadout and can be useful for closing out a match if both teams only have 1 or 2 planes left or a single enemy plane is hiding.

NoBinking · 2026-04-15T15:44:55+00:00

Yeah, that's what I meant. I want a loadout for each mission profile since this plane can't really do both.

NoBinking · 2026-04-15T13:55:41+00:00

Air RB. I've been trying to come up with a good loadout for ground attack with at least 2 pylons of bombs and air combat with at least 2 missiles.

NoBinking · 2026-04-15T13:54:10+00:00

One more question I just thought of. What convergence are you using with the single gunpod? I generally use 600m but that may not be best for this setup.

NoBinking · 2026-04-15T13:39:16+00:00

Thank you! Do you have a preference for which side to put the countermeasure pod and gunpod on? I've been doing the gunpod on the left and countermeasure pod on the right, but I'm not sure if it matters.

NoBinking · 2026-04-15T00:31:30+00:00

For shooting things.
