Thoughts on the current status of missiles on the Su-27, using this video.

The video below talks about the current status of the missiles on the Su-27. Is what the author saying in this video correct, as of 05/13/2023? His statement saying that we should be flying NATO planes now instead of the Su-27 concerns me.

The video:

It doesn't make sense. Fly the aircraft you like.

His tacview shows the AIM-7 going dead.

So ...

1) R-27's have been nerfed!

  -- No, they've been brought to reality

2) AIM-7's haven't been nerfed!

  -- Don't worry, they'll be brought to reality and there's already a thread about how they don't work correctly with FLOOD etc

3) These weapons aren't perfect, they're over 30 or even 40 years old (and even when they were new they were not exactly at the pinnacle of technology), and you shouldn't expect them to perform like newer weapons/weapon systems.

Fly the aircraft you like indeed.  Just  understand that when you chose your ride, you also chose its limitations, be they IRL or DCSL.

Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D

I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda

It's a bit complicated topic. I also love flying the Soviet jets, but sadly they are not competitive any more. The price to pay for this is, that after some time you forget how to land them 😉

Let me guess - you tried to fight with 2000's AMRAAM carriers?

Yes and also AIM-54 Phoenix 😇.
We would need something like Su-35 with R-77-1, but this is not likely to happen 😄.
Once you get used to a Soviet-type cockpit, it's difficult to wrap your head around a NATO-style one.

Try Cold War / Fox1 servers for more balanced scenarios.
