Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 1)

Probably the reason why J-15 isn’t coming in the same update lol. Would make the Su-33 look somewhat underwhelming.

13.0, you mean.

Very.

typo, thanks

Typo, sorry

It already is considering 27SM is just a straight up better. Better instant AOA aint worth that much (especially considering poor energy retention of Flankers in game and 33 being heavier)

Perhaps so. I wouldnt wanna fly one at 13.3 facing Eurofighters, F15Es, Rafales, Mirage 2000 5 and J10’s. All with ARHs

Su-33 is just too heavy and doesn’t have the thrust to back it up. Irl the Su-33 is rated worse than the Su-27 in BFM.

i think pzh2000 may be given to multiple countries

Kings of Battle all over again

Well if the Tornado F.3 is still 13.3 I think the Su-33 will be fine at 13.3 :p

13.3 max currently and ideally more decompression in the future. We need at least 15.0 imo.

Exactly

I dont know that those “advantages” are suppose to be beyond being carrier based (which is dubious at best) and being able to pull harder than 27S while loosing all energy on pair with delta wings

Gaijin: Best we can do is 14.0

Agreed, although maybe not all at once I think we should go to 14.3 now to allow 13.0 to decompress a bit

The advantage is that in War Thunder, adding canards makes you able to perform ace combat maneuvers (Su-34 able to do half-kulbit maneuver)

It’s funny that the Flanker we have currently that can pull the most AOA is the Su-34. That’s just ridiculous.

I do think because of that the Su-33 will have a place because it will be considerably lighter for the ARHM tradeoff

…unless Snail gonna catch up on this and “fix”. It still would leave 33 on very low energy state, so outside of very lucky shots and YT Shorts material it not really useful
