Wish there was at least an archive
The clean slate for suggestions is probably one of the few good things about the new forums. (other than not having to guess if it’s a broken thread)
It allows for more detailed and up-to-date suggestions. Tech-tree suggestions benefited greatly, compared to the poor trees from pikpiper.
This is prorussian government website, withbnews and here it’s said, the SM2 version has the same engines as Su-35S and a better radar and as we know on Su-35S there are Al-41F1S and Irbis.
Anyways Su-35S is close, don’t waste your time in trying to get the Su-30SM2 nerfed
see how they specified that it will have the same engines as the Su-35 but only said that it will have a better radar than the Su-30SM
You can be 12 times a person from Russia, but the fact is that SM2 modernization program means Al-41F1S engines and irbis radar, otherways it’s not SM2. There are already many SMs modernized to SM2, but yes, those are just modernized ones, serially it will be produced like from 0, not from old SMs, since 2025
it dosent have the Irbis
Bro the Su-30sm is my favourite aircraft of all time. I’m not trying to nerf it, but fact is that there is no evidence of the SM2 getting new engines YET. it will in the future.
And yes your source described the video showed earlier and says :

Just write in google Su-30SM2 modernization program and read the links one by one, every single link says about engines and radar
Эту статью кучу раз показывали, и самолёт с первого фото тоже, там обновили электронику и добавили возможности нести новые ракеты. Даже если посмотреть на носовой обтекатель то он такой же как на обычном СМ
i mean, didnt they give the f15e its engines because “it technically could”
Is he still active?
either way id assume even gaijin has the braincells to figure no one is going to bother getting and spading the sm2 if its not an upgrade over the su30sm
ah yes
news articles
great
they will know better than the chief designer of sukhoi
Ok, so you want to say, they just decided to name absolutely the same jet SM2, without any upgrades?
If there are no engines, its just SM
But there is no engine or radar. This reminds me of the situation with the F-15CGE. According to the documents and news reports, the MRML racks were purchased, but they were not installed in their final form.
In fact, they added support for new missiles, and that was it.
the chief desinger himself said that the radar has nearly double the range of teh N-011M
so the radar was upgraded, but it isnt the IRBIS because the IRBIS has over 2.5 times the range of the N-011M
But we have lost many suggestions of rare vehicles. Some suggestions contained rare information
(missiles they already said they wont be adding)
@Smin1080p_WT is there any particular reason why the M10 Booker is coming after the M3A3 Bradley instead of the Stryker MGS? By all logic the M10 should go after the Stryker as IRL they are intended for the same purpose, with the M10 even going so far as replacing the Stryker even if that was short lived. The Stryker ingame is also the last vehicle in its line and only one of its line at rank VII. It makes little sense to stick it after the M3A3 bradley as there are already 2 vehicles in its line at rank VII. I hope this is something that is rectified before the update launches
