Should be better than in game at high alt
Although the flight model has been changed, it is still far from what is needed, the thrust of the Su-27 engine is overestimated like all the others to compensate for the excessive drag.
If you think the Su-27 needs to be better than the Gripen in flight performance, I have a bridge to sell you.
The Su-27s are already meta flight models and currently don’t have “excessive drag”.
The Su-27’s engine also isn’t over-estimated.
The Su-27 is the most maneuverable aircraft of the 4th generation in the STR.
Highly doubt that.
Su-27SM BTW is as good as F-16C in-game with same fuel time.
The F16 is significantly inferior to the Su-27
That is not a sustained turn, that’s an instantaneous turn which is matched in War Thunder.
On the contrary I would rate the F-16 as the best in sustained turning, the Viper is little matched to this day.
Air shows are not valid.
It’s (SDB-I stands in for the assorted BRU-61 mounted stores) not listed in any if the Brochure’s I’ve seen.

Are the outer hardpoints UAI capable like the rest? And physically is there a limitation stopping it from mounting a twin SDB BRU-55?
Probably not physically, but only the F/A-18E/F have the BRU-55 or -57 & SDB integration planned.
F-16 have both (so in USAF possession), and at least for BRU-57 it’s UAI cleared so theoretically an F-15EX could carry them outboard, unless there is a physical limitation
Community Bug Reporting System Got another report here for y’all this time for multiple things missing for short range missiles on the F-15 HUD… I have same issue and share please?
uhh… so yeah, like I said the loss doesn’t matter? lol. And the Su-27S despite going nearly as fast as the F-15 has way lower channel loss, so it’s not like it’s from the max speed of the plane or anything. It’s simply how the FM worked out.
This STR, not ITR
According to all charts, the Su-27 is superior to the F-16
no it isnt for STR I really dont know where you would be getting that from
I think he’s talking about normal operating limits for the f-15a. IRL, the engine was operated at 97ish percent, while in game, it's configured for a 102 percent trim which would overheat the engine after long enough. There's some charts for it somewhere, I'll find it when I get time. seems to not be the case, apparently it could run on 102 indefinitely
There is none, but you can post them
It does not have modified engine bay
