Yep, probably
Unless its coming with an AAM advantage, like R-77-1?
Considering that’s as ahistorical as the R-77, sure, and give it an Irbis-E radar too, because that thing is useless without it.
Ah… Figured it would at a quick glance at the wiki which states " Developed from Sukhoi Su-27" But actually reading the wiki, yeah, its like FGR2 into the FG1 or Harrier Gr3 into the SHar FRS1. A naval upgrade
So yeah, that would suck. Make a good filler though, but not a great end of year aircraft
Also, now that we have Namer with ‘Chains’ ingame, I really hope they go back at some point and add them to the Merk Mk4’s. They look wrong without them lol.
Spoiler
no, just a canard su-27 with more weight, better low speed mobility and 2 more heavy hard point

My ideal scenario if EFT and Rafale come:
- Su-30SM w/ R-77-1.
- Su-30M, and it’s just not the top dawg, but it’s “filler+”. Maybe something cool like a next gen R-73.
- Su-33 “WarThunder fake history edition” where the canards do more than help you lift off the deck of the Kuznetsov, and you can magically launch R-77-1’s, and the N001K actually performs the way the N001 should, in other words, modestly.

Like 700 comments in the past 5 hours to sift through lmao
Added wing surface area, and reshaped LERX’s and radome. Not even sure that makes up for the near-useless canards and robust navalization that’s really heavy.
Leaks does that to R&R everytime lmao
I haven’t even @ him yet.
too late, i did it first

Will this presumably be after Yak141 in naval line?
(Well, i say Naval line. There’s like two Naval Yaks and that’s kinda it lol)
Yeah. And frankly, it’s stupid. Russian Naval aviation line should be:
Yak-141
Su-27K (no need to call it Su-33)
MiG-29K
Su-30SM
Su-30SM2
[END]
Edit: You want Su-33? Great, it’s a new Squadron/event plane, add it in whenever you want.
They just need to add the Nikolay Chiker to the soviet coastal tree :P
hee hee

It would be only slightly less useless in Air RB at 13.7 than the Su-33.
