Su-27SM: Ferocious Flanker!

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?
