New Su-30SM flight model

you can do this ingame rn tho?

I don’t have a Su-30.

How much thrust are the engines putting out? can you check it? should be around 122kn or 27500 .

On the Dev Server they are 11,660 kgf per AL-31FP. Same engine power as the first Su27.

AL31FP is export aint it? theyre identical so it shouldnt matter. is this with full afterburner?

I don’t know if that’s the export, but yes that’s in afterburner.

that sounds about right

I was able to play from the start of the dev to the end…I’m away from my PC atm but will post a high AoA kill clip I got in the 30…if that’s the final flight modle for it that goes to the live the Su30 will be very competitive in close.

This video fully demonstrate the close to the reality flight model. The difference is that here they don’t adjust the performance of the planes to the usamain skill level, but rather they do it the way it should be in real life.

you will likely be able to do this in war thunder. also the dcs mod has too little drag. also its DCS MOD.

this is absurd. su30 mod is great but best put together aircraft is actually insane. its not even the best mod lmao. A4E is a MUCH better mod.

i mean youre just plain wrong, su30 mod is great because it give the redfor a competitive multirole platform, its also fairly accurate to real life. but its most definetly not the best mod.

also acting like an asshole isnt going to give you anymore credibility

This was the 3rd flight model up date on the 6th to the Su30, the Dev Server closed on the 7th in the morning. To me it felt much more realistic…not as light as the other flight models it had but absolutely competitive for in close fighting for sure. Gun fighting will be hard if you use the AoA to soon but with HOBS missiles is where it will be very dangerous!

This looks good to me, idk why OP expects that the jet shouldn’t become a brick while flying like this

Well yeah, when you pull that much AoA you go from 800-850kph to as low as 80kph and because of the control the vectoring gives you it lets you get your nose around for missile shots…you shouldn’t expect to maintain 600-800kph in this kind of energy bleeding move!

To use this with missiles is very strong…but as soon as you try this vs an energy fighter with guns only you are in BIG TRUBLE if you don’t use it at the exact right moment!

The other thing I would add is that 80% of player are never going to use this to good affect in a 16v16 anyway…this only becomes useful at the end of a game with isolated pockets of enemies! Most players don’t live past 3-4min in ARB :/

The DСS mod has the right thrust. The drag suffers a bit. But it will be fixed later.

thrust is correct in war thunder too, i never said su30 mod is bad, i really like playing with it. but its the best mod nor do i think it will be more accurate than WT’s representation

this is pretty important and why we need forced 12v12 at least

The engine thrust in WT is absolutely incorrect. On almost all planes
The SU-30 mod is much more accurate than in the WT
