Me: F/A-18F with 4 x AIM-9X and 9X-2s (see description for more), 6 x AIM-120Ds, gun, fuel tank
Enemy: GKABS Su-35BM with 4 x R-74s and I think 4 x R-27R or T, GSh-301 gun with 150 rounds
This is more or less what I expect when fighting the Su-27/35 and it didn't disappoint. The problem I'm noticing with the Super Hornet is that I'm blacking out way too much and that really keeps me from exploiting the maneuverability of the aircraft. The average pilot can sustain 9Gs and I think I need to make that happen. Otherwise, the Su-35 has less of a UFO flight profile and allows some work needed to get a kill. Personally if you can pop it via BVR then I'd recommend it of course, as the blacking out has to go in regards to my aircraft. I just simply can't fight at 7Gs (I think that's the issue, but I could be wrong).
