there are many manuals freely available online that are still very restricted, that still won’t make them okay. this one is from 2008 as well and to my knowledge there’s no proof of declassification, which from last i’ve checked is against gaijin’s terms for bug reporting and use here as well.

I swear gaijin devs/bug reporters do it on purpose.
That’s right kids the J-11 now outrates the Typhoon

Ah yes, the plane with less TWR and higher wing load, which at the same time is a giant monster (six meters longer, four meters wider) and weights empty nearly a ton more than the EF at normal take-off weight is able to outrate it? I would really like to see the physical base/reasoning for this assumption…

you know what the orange dotted line means?
it means that the pilot will black out at anything on the right side of it
saying that the J-11 is outrating the EF is a bit disingenious
Chinese engineering i guess
Now wait for the Su35. Let’s see if the eurofighter can win the dogfight
Su-35 is just going to be a worse su-30sm2 in the dogfight.
In sim controls su-30sm2 wins with a very skilled pilot, but with normal arb controls eurofighter wins
I thought su35 is a lighter su27, but with higher thrust, and TVC.
Nah it’s heavier than su-30sm and sm2

19t empty pretty heavy jet

Wasn’t that with the ecm pods included?
even if they are included in the 19t figure it wouldnt change much to remove them
if you remove them you would still end up at around 18 - 18.4 tons
Doubt it, knappo site don’t list pods and only r77 and r73 for normal weight without mentioning pods

So? Being Gaijin. Will be faster than the Typhoon, climb better than the Typhoon and Turn better than the Typhoon?
:P
Su30sm2 does none of that and it’s lighter, so I don’t see how the 35 would perform better than the Eurofighter.

Typhoon vs Su 35?
I think acceleration and transonic maneuvering favor the Typhoon, while the Su 35 favors slow speeds.
“However, what you do not see is Thurst Vectoring making it really good” - some Russian Aerospace Forces boffin.
On a serious note, I seriously doubt that the Typhoon will outperform the Su-35 in War Thunder.
In real life, this fault would be immediately rectified with a dose of Meteor BVRAAM and ASRAAM Block 6.
Having defected to the dark side and played a little bit of Russian ground at mid-high tiers… my god they play easy mode lmao.

Even in real life I have severe doubts an aircraft almost twice as heavy with no actually significant aerodynamic changes to facilitate better performance (no, thrust vectoring shouldn’t change nearly as much as it does in WT) could actually keep up with the typhoon.

In actual gameplay, the Typhoon probably won’t reach SM2. The Typhoon loses speed significantly with just a little movement, effectively canceling out its own engine performance advantage.
