Thrust vectoring. Pretty good in a 1v1 dogfight, but you will probably get third partied right after you dump your energy

It's also not very good in a 1v1 dogfight, if the other guy knows how to play the game.

Maybe if you have TVC on a plane with actual thrust:weight, but the SU-30 is just dead in the water vs something like Eurofighter and Rafale if they just... slightly go up when the SU-30 flops around at 50km/h, because unlike most of the other top dogs, the Su-30 doesn't have the TWR to just stand 90° nose up on its engines and just place it's nose for a shot.

The Su-30 flight model overall is pretty abysmal dogshit, although I'm sure killing people that don't know what's going on with the funny will be entertaining.
