Not exactly off-topic for s.m.n. The Su-30MKI "super fighter" is an
equal opportunity machine, it wont discriminate between a radar site,
a fighter or a ship and will kill them all with equal aplomb. LOL!

Funny, I'd *like* my fighters to be able to tell which is which...

Why? What I would like is that after my fighters are done with the
target it should be difficult to tell what the target originally was
from the residual scrap metal and vapours.

My comment was, as you have *not* noticed, a very mild dig at someone
for writing something vague and puffed-up about a plane, when they
should have said it more clearly and simply (and honestly).

And my original comment too, as you choose not to notice either, was a
jocular one on Su-30MKI making no discrimination in *killing* a target
- viz since it can kill ships it is clearly not off topic for s.m.n. I
did not talk about whether its sensors can distriminate target type
and ID it or about using AAMs for shooting at ships - it was an
unnecessary extrapolation on your part.

Although it would be somewhat interesting to kill a ship with an
air-to-air missile.

Su-30MKI weapon inventory includes Kh-31P, RVV-AE and PJ-10 for
anti-radar, anti-air and anti-ship work.

But since the original post claimed it "won't discriminate," you can't
tell what sort of weapon it's going to fire. "Oops, fired an air-to-air
at a ship, and dropped a bomb at another jet. I wish this plane could
discriminate between targets."

Like I said non discrimation was in killing part not ID'ing.


*That* was what I was talking about, and which you still can't manage to
get...

Can you kill ships with AAMs in your video game that sold a million
copies?

As I've mentioned to the idiot who *first* read my post wrong (and who
I've corrected *twice*), it wasn't a video game.

You need a better source for your failed insults than Tarver.

hmmm, hard to argue with this - Tarver is hardly the impeccable
factual source.

Just as a matter of interest - What software was this (if not a game)?
And how many copies were sold?
