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

As you said, the SU-30SM2 is just mostly the engines and avionics from the SU-35.
and if you ask me the SU-30 platform is more comparable to the 15EX tha the su35 is to the 15EX
Also considering both the 15EX and SU-30 are classified as multirole aircraft and the SU-35 is classified as a air superiority fighter

how did you come into that conclusion?
namer is a merkava, and eitan is an eitan? much faster and quicker?

Same turret on a 2x larger chassis

yes, but unlike other wheeled AFVs like the VBCI-2, Type 16, or Centauro, the Eitan prioritizes protection above other aspects, using classified SLERA modules, Iron Fist APS, and a high floor to protect the crew from IEDs. The Eitan is also capable of running on run-flat tires, so damaged tires hurt its mobility less
gaijin ofc ruinied the namer ifv ingame, giving it only 4 spikes, and the armor, god, we dont talk abt that (gaijin: a merkava without the turret but with the same weight? surely the armor is much worse)
(also gaijin: Gaijin: “Namer Tsrikhon and Namer 30 are the same, but TSRK has Trophy, so we must increase the BR.” Also Gaijin: “Even though the Merkava Mk.4M has Trophy, it performs the same as the 4B, so we increase the 4B and LIC BR.”)

Practically every single modern wheeled AFV/IFV has this feature

sure, and the other stuff?
the 90% of the things i wrote?

Meaningless in warthunder.

TLDR great features in real life, in warthunder you’re just a bigger target

Reminder that this is the RnR thread.

and i wrote a response but the guy deleted it
anyway, thats a dumb saying, u can say the same things for any wheeled ifv ingame

The EX’s are assigned to the same air superiority/defence mission as the F-15C’s, that’s what they are replacing. So the Su-35 would be the right counterpart

That’s why I don’t use wheeled vehicles in game. They’re miserable

just not for you,
many people are good in them, doesnt mean it shouldnt be added just cause you are bad in it

When did I say it shouldn’t be added? All I said is its a worse version of what we already have
Also

Why continue

Same could be said about the SU-30SM it takes part in air superiority and defense missions aswell.
Like shown in lots of (failed) drone defense in Crimea

The EX is meant to take over the air superiority mission from the C, which was air superiority only. It’s also meant to be able to operate effectively in a2a with just the pilot, the Su-30’s are meant to have both crew at all times like the F-15E. The EX and Su-35S are both the peak versions of the F-15 and flanker, so it makes sense for them to come together.

Don’t know where this comes from. the SU-30 is able to be operated by a single pilot.

But either way this has nothing to do with the topic so let’s move on

Bro the Su-30SM2 is basically a Su-30SM upgraded to be on par with the Su-35S, not the opposite

That’s what we said yes. It’s a SU-30SM with the engines and avionics from a SU-35
