Su-27SM: Ferocious Flanker!

Not necessarily but could be true. iPhone battery missile.

The range the missile can be launched at 100+ nautical miles means the batteries for the missile system can run out before the missile has hit the target.

Battery life for BVRAAMs is a major issue.

Because the entire reason for the creation of the Meteor missile was to replace the AIM-120 for countries that import it from the USA to instead have a domestically made and improved missile.
it it became a worse missile i highly doubt that it would have been put into service.

I think it has an updated MICA seeker or something, but the performance of the missile is vastly greater than Aim-120

Yapping about how I thought that was a German flag.

no pod…

What makes you say this? Did they confirm that somewhere?

way too advanced.

Not really.

Typhoon DA2 would be no higher than 13.3 based upon where the F-15C MSIP II is placed

It should be 13.7 with the Advanced Eagles/late f15c for US, the eft has quite favorable properties for war thunder air gameplay

obvious

theres no model of it and they wont bother making it

Bug report :

Su-27SM: N001VEP missing GMTI, GMTT, SSS, SST modes

Created custom mission for dogfight training in SB regime.
I can barely overturn F-4F (stock). Tried to fight in real SB - switched back to custom missions.
Looks like Su-27SM is even heavier, so I will not play it either.

Especially since many forget that it would not have faced a 90s F-16.

the su27 will objectively lose to f-4e in an air RB scenario, mostly because the f-4e’s turn rate is tighter in the one circle, and has more acceleration at lower speeds. In a true 1v1 with both planes on 10 minutes of fuel the su27 will waddle into killing the phantom.
Su27 will literaly fall off the sky the moment you make a single roll, it is super inconsistent to keep altitude during a rate fight. All in all it’s a terrible plane, only winning under certain scenarios against a much worse plane; that is the f-18.

If it can’t beat an F-4 it is not beating an F/A-18.

The Su-33 I have will beat an F-4 easilly not sure why a lighter Flanker would struggle?
