Squadron Vehicles: Su-33

Cool! This’ll be my next squadron vehicle because I am close to completing the research for the Jeff!

What N001K makes different from base N001 is the FCS as far as I know. While not supporting R-77s, it supports Kh-41 AShM:

AFAIK ASM was only mockup and Su-33 cannot use it.

The later SU-33s should also have access to the SPO-L150 Pastel radar warning receiver as well.

Su-33 has L-150 antennas on screenshots

Then we’re getting the Late SU-33 which is excellent, Early SU-33s don’t have any visible antennas possibly hinting to the lack of radar warning receivers.

“yes instead of developing the naval jet line for Russia let’s make this iconic plane a squadron vehicle”

Could you add the F/A-18 as a squadron vehicle too? Silly Gaijin.

So you just going to ignore that the su27sm has a better wr than all 3 us 13.7s. It doesn’t even matter it’s all mixed battles at top tier

Respectfully Gaijin, this vehicle should not be squadron, instead being situated after the YaK-141. It makes 0 sense for it to not be in the tech tree, its like making every F-14 a squadron vehicle.

Not really. It would be like making an obscure, alternate F-14 a squadron vehicle, with the other F-14s in the tech tree.

Or even an event vehicle like the F-14A IRIAF.

Well theres still Mig-29kr in the furute

I’m sorry the Su-33 is literally the main naval multirole aircraft of the late Soviet Union and Russian Federation. It is a pure disgrace to put it anywhere but the line of its predecessor the YaK-38.

Not really, its just an old abandoned fighter project put on life support with small modernisations like the L-150 RWR. Not particularly multi-role, or the main anything.

The Su-27S is the tech tree version, the Su-33 is the obscure alternate version.

It’s so clear that you have 0 idea what you’re talking about and pay no attention to the military happenings of the Russians from like the 80s to present. The Su-33 has been on continuous deployment for literal years. It is not at all obscure.

Nothing obscure about the Su-33. It is the navalized Flanker. It has no Western equivalents.

If Gaijin wanted some Flanker variant as squadron vehicle filler they could have used something the Su-27UB or an early version of the Su-30.

Not exactly a big deal.

Why the hostility? Have a calm discussion.

Ok, I don’t understand his perspective either, but no need to be harsh.
