Possible addition of the Su-27SM in the next update

Japan’s F-15J and F-16AJ cant use ARH’s, they are not 12.7 but they are the best Japan has. Germany wont be getting ARHs until F4F-ICE or EF. If Su-27SM2 or 3 was added it would blow EVERYTHING out of the water and leave everyone except America and china without an equivalent.

Su-27 is already the best BVR plane and now give it the best CAS with even better BVR? Makes little sense to me, maybe in the future / when other planes are added but adding it now would be equivalent to giving Russia another pantsir level advantage.

Is this thing can match the flight performance of modern jet ?

Agree with this but not for ground RB though, i thing it should get ground pound version like the Su-27UBM, split it out like French TT is a good option

No not really, its an F4F with a fancy radar and modern missiles. It would suffer at higher BRs and destroy at lower ones. Similar to the current F4EJ-kai or Kurnass 2000 but at an even higher BR, I doubt it would effect the meta.

The Su-27SMs are not needed in this patch. MiG-29SMT can carry a mix of 6: R-77s, R-27ERs, R-73s, and KH-29TDs, while having a modern RWR and Radar. It’s already a great striker. If you really want to get into the multirole Flankers then surely you would also agree it being time for Strike Eagles as well?

Fair enough

I don’t see how, except for changing targets if a tank happens to die before it hits. Its difficult to defend from SAMs and AAMs while maintaining LOS for the TGP.

I sure hope so, but if Gaijin is gonna treat Fox-3s like they treaty Fox-1s, R-77s are gonna be too good.

13

currently, this Su-27S is the best BVR plane but with the addition of Fox-3s it would suffer due to its poor RWR and radar, and even with R-77s the Su-27 wouldn’t be the best BVR plane, AIM-120A/B and MICA FOX-3s are better over long ranges,

14

the F-15J could use AAM-4s and AIM-120s with some modifications, and I don’t think Gaijin would have a problem doing that, currently, the JAS-39A in the Swedish tech tree uses the JAS-39C weapons
so I dont think they would completely ignore the F-15J issue

15

It’s not needed, but it would definitely be a cool addition, and yes the Mig-29SMT already does the job,

I definitely agree with this one, IF we ever get the Su-27SM or even SM3, the F-15E strike eagle needs to be added

No, i think it would perform like the Yak-141, a good BVR machine but not a a good dogfhighter

17

Su-27SM would be great, a multirole is needed.

18

Is a time for Russia to get a multi role jet. For now yes Russia has a best BVR jet because of R-27er and best AG missles but Su-25sm has 1 main disadvantage AA radar missing, and if not have a support in air or SAMs Su-25sm is just a flying frag.

I assume Su-27SM better F-15E Strike Eagle in 2003 8%, especially close range tactic with 4th gen IR AAM and turn fight 1 on 1 tactic but F-15E CAS and ground attack better 7 or 10%

I guess USAF not integraded AIM-9X and not equipped with the Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS) until 2011 upgraded with the Raytheon AN/APG-82(V)1 Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar,

I don’t think gaijin ready Su-27SM3 in 3 years but similar to F-15E with AN/APG-82(V)1 AESA radar and Shenyang J-11BG

Su-27SM has L-150 Pastel RWR and modified radar.

21

Only difference between 27SM and SM3 for game are cockpit and 2 more weapon points under wing.

Oh sorry, I assume Su-27SM3 armed IR AAM and BVRAAM like Su-30M2 but carries 8x BVRAAM and Su-27S airframe
