We need this beauty. J-16, F-16V are also needed.
+1 x100000

no imperial units for any country except usa and uk! hate from soviet union. >:(
+1 although.

YES YES YES GIB Su-27M 703/709! This can be an excellent USSR TT add-on as a squadron/premium/event vehicle. +1 x 999999 from me.

Fully and completely agree

The fall of USSR killed so many interesting projects it’s kinda sad to think about it, +1 to honor the engineers of this beast that unfortunately never saw the light of day.

If I’m not wrong, some of the aircrafts “live”, 86,87,88,703 and 712 are awarded to Russian Knights aerobatic team and painted in their colors. They are stationed in Kubinka airbase, where still there and other planes from the Russian Knights aerobatic team, but 27Ms are not flyable.

The Su-35 is without any doubt a cool fighter, however we can’t have every Flanker ever and I’d rather see the Su-35S.

Why not both? 😉 For me personally I’d LOVE to see both added as Tech Tree vehicles! One can complement the other, plus I think the Su-27M(aka the Original Su-35) would be a perfect vehicle up from the Su-27SM or the Su-27 regular. It would make sense.

you mean foldering the 27M with another 27? Seems fair enough to me

Yes 100%. 😊 If the T-90M, for example, could be a variant up from the T-90 as well as in the Tech tree as well, I can see how the Su-27M would either be the next version up from the Su-27 regular or Su-27SM or foldered in with either variant.

Thogh the Su-27M has major differences with both Su-27… idk if it can be foldered.

I know it is a heavily upgraded variant, but maybe it could. Otherwise, it should have its own spot in the Tech Tree, in the same way that the T-90M does vs being foldered with the standard T-90.

Definitely should be an event vehicle

I respectfully disagree. I personally feel that this would be a good and natural step up from the Su-27SM/SM3. That said, although I 100% prefer the Su-27M should be a tech tree vehicle, at the same time, I respect your opinion.

Other than bort 710 with the su-35s engines, all of these are pretty mediocre as they’re all 18400 kg, around the same weight as the su-30mkm with the original su-27s engines. So their flight performance is pretty mediocre.

I agree. Id say it would more sense to make the Su-35 a tech tree vehicle, and the Su-37 an event or premium vehicle.

Pov next update when Gaijin will add even more hornets with at least one being premium

I’d prefer to see it in the tech tree but it’s gaijin and they could probably make a lot of money with it
