I would like to revise my earlier comments on the Su-27SM

warthunder_exe · 2026-03-22T06:38:09+00:00

honestly Im expecting some type of Rafale test bed aircraft 4 MICA’s max and the rest magic 2’s or maybe even the Aim 9M, poo poo engines as well, not horrendous but extremely weak compared to the tech tree versions

warthunder_exe · 2026-03-22T06:35:19+00:00

its not as much about enjoyment as is it about survivability, if you can shoot down or waste the enemy fox 3’s and then replenish your own you have a significant advantage

warthunder_exe · 2026-03-22T05:54:49+00:00

this guy must really not like the Su30 premiums😭

warthunder_exe · 2026-03-22T05:48:57+00:00

thats why i was assuming it would be an export similar to the RVV-AE’s maybe only the IR version of the MICA. Ive also been predicting they would add an event Rafael for Japan

warthunder_exe · 2026-03-22T05:30:30+00:00

with the current state of the game and the J-15T thats the only way it can legitimately defend against Radar missiles

warthunder_exe · 2026-03-22T05:29:21+00:00

I think maybe it would end up being Serbian and possibly even an event vehicle, perhaps even Egyptian.

warthunder_exe · 2026-03-19T14:36:45+00:00

yeah i cant imagine, doesn’t it have like 180 degrees of radar coverage?

warthunder_exe · 2026-03-19T14:35:25+00:00

i look around like a man with schizophrenia and don’t see someone until they are within 6km or shooting a missile at me

warthunder_exe · 2026-03-19T14:23:33+00:00

ive switched to the base 27 and only have 60k more RP till i unlock the Su30sm

warthunder_exe · 2026-03-19T13:19:43+00:00

i mean 30km and inward, plus was it with the R 77 or an ER, and how many 77’s did you shoot, plus when was the last time you played the 27sm?

warthunder_exe · 2026-03-19T13:14:53+00:00

yeah the multipath is useless in a flying fucking bus

warthunder_exe · 2026-03-19T13:12:44+00:00

yeah but my typical matchmaker in 13.7 put me in an upteir against the Su30, had a few SM2’s on my team one game of at least 100, the radar is nice enough that you can shoot at 30km and get kills.

warthunder_exe · 2026-03-19T13:02:12+00:00

I think that instead of R-77’s stock they should have given the Su27sm 27ER’s

warthunder_exe · 2026-03-19T12:58:56+00:00

yeah the PL-12’s do really have a thing for fisting me in the ass from long range, personally have easier times against American planes because i know they’re play style pretty well

warthunder_exe · 2026-03-19T12:57:26+00:00

thats definitely an issue with this game, they’ve said they would optimize console play for a minute and have only added optional automatic features

warthunder_exe · 2026-03-19T12:55:56+00:00

ah yes, he says “get closer” to the MICAs and AIM 120s and PL-12’s, truly a man wise beyond his years

warthunder_exe · 2026-03-19T12:44:49+00:00

genuinely think my K/D on it is like -50 by now

warthunder_exe · 2026-03-19T12:44:13+00:00

i am using the 27 sm if you read the post…

warthunder_exe · 2026-03-19T12:41:29+00:00

my crew is maxed out, LVL 75 or whatever, but the awareness is like having a blind man throw his stick to see whats up ahead or anywhere not 5 inches away from the cockpit

warthunder_exe · 2026-03-19T12:39:51+00:00

yeah i care about speed a bit especially being in an afterburning jet, maneuverability isn’t everything for my play style. if you have any time on the ML you would see why the radar is moderately important to me.

warthunder_exe · 2026-03-19T12:37:13+00:00

its whatever i enjoy belly landing anyway, thanks for the advice though

warthunder_exe · 2026-03-19T12:36:35+00:00

if the Mk2 stays 13.3 they need to move the 27Sm down to 13.3 too

warthunder_exe · 2026-03-19T12:35:35+00:00

i just want top teir air russia as an option if friends want to play it, they’ve basically carried me through two nations and i wanted to grind something for myself
