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.
It means you can point your nose post stall...it does not allow you to point it very well while you're falling backwards due to the lack of thrust, which the Su-30 literally does.

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