Unfortunately, the SU-30 wasn’t modeled with the proper engine thrust. The SU-30 is said to have up to 12,500 kgf. With full Afterburner it is 14,000 kgf. In game it is only 7220 kgf without after burner and with afterburner it is 11,660. The plane is severely underperforming in the stall fight and it shouldn’t struggle this much to maneuver. Please make a solution to fix the engine thrust. Thank you!!! :)

12500kgf is stand thrust, 11660kgf is with channel loss of 6.72%. Ducting around the engines makes it lose some thrust (all planes in game have this)
14000kgf should be the AL-41s which it doesn’t have

14000 is with full AB on the AL-31, which they plummeted to the ground leaving the aircraft with nearly no thrust contradicting its “ Super maneuverability” role.
Source?
Not saying we need the SM2 upgrade (even though it’s the same aircraft) but they at least need to bump up the AL-31’s power because it is very lack luster.
117S is AL-41

The engine has those thrust amounts in-game. Static thrust =/= maximum thrust.
117C it is AL-41 code.
AL-41 only on SM2.
