I’m here to present some recommendations for enhancing the Su-34 in the game. The current payload limitations do not fully reflect the aircraft’s real-world capabilities, as detailed in the Su-34 payload documentation.
FAB-500M62 Bombs:
The document indicates that the Su-34 can carry 16 FAB-500M62 bombs, potentially even 20.
Currently, the game allows only 2 bombs. This should be updated to allow 4, as shown in the documentation.
Additionally, it can carry 4 bombs on each wing pylon (pylons 3 and 4).
R-77 Missiles:
The documentation shows that the Su-34 can carry two R-77 missiles on each wingtip and one on the underbelly pylons.
This setup suggests the potential to carry up to 14 R-77 missiles, akin to the Su-27SM and Su-30SM configurations coming in the new update.
It is also reasonable to assume the Su-34 can carry two R-27 missiles on the underbelly pylons.
Gliding Bomb Kits:
The Su-34 is capable of carrying the FAB-250 UMPK, FAB-500 UMPK, and FAB-1500 UMPK gliding bomb kits.
Given that the game already includes the FAB-3000 UMPK kit, these additional kits should be incorporated to enhance the aircraft’s versatility.
Maximum Payload:
The documentation specifies a maximum carrying capacity between 12,000 and 14,000 kg.
In contrast, the game currently restricts it to 8040 kg. Adjusting to the accurate maximum weight would improve the aircraft’s realism and performance.
Service Ceiling:
The Su-34’s maximum service ceiling is 56,000 feet, not the 44,280 feet currently represented in the game.
Correcting this would enhance the aircraft’s effectiveness, especially on larger maps.
P-800 Cruise Missile:
The recent discovery of the P-800 cruise missile in the dev server suggests the potential to include this in future updates.
While it is estimated the Su-34 could carry up to 3 P-800 missiles, this would need verification.
Incorporating these adjustments would significantly improve the Su-34’s capabilities, making it a more formidable aircraft. This could potentially elevate its rating to 13.7 while maintaining its effectiveness.
What do you think? Do you believe these changes would enhance the Su-34, and is it worth submitting this suggestion to the forum? Please let me know if there are any additional tweaks or fixes needed. Let’s make this aircraft truly outstanding!
Feel free to make any further adjustments or additions. 😊
Wikipedia is not accepted as a source. If you think there are inaccuracies you can create a report here: (Gaijin.net // Issues) , note that one report per issue is needed and the required sources for changes are listed in the historical documents section:
1- Wikipedia is not a source.
2- The R-77s in-game are already correct. There is no such thing as “wing-tip R-77s”.
3- That document is not official.
4- As for 56,000 feet [17,000 meters]: Yep, that’s in-game.
but if its able to carry 3000 UMPK glide bomb there is know reason the devs cant add FAB-250 UMPK, FAB-500 UMPK, and FAB-1500 UMPK gliding bomb kits it would really not change anything besides adding new bombs to use though right
yea but when u put as a suggestion there is 85% u will never see that posed again tbh I’m still waiting on 3 forum suggestions on the su-34 but for different stuff i would rather see what the people think now so i can at least see if they would like it or not to make it worthier to post as a suggestions forum post that all
If the munitions already exist in game you need to prove that the aircraft can carry them IRL and make a historical bug-report.
If they don’t exist in the game yet you need to make a suggestion to introduce them to the game.
If you have suggestions rejected you can ask a Suggestion Moderator why it was rejected and ask for a copy you can rework and resubmit. All teams are Volunteers with jobs/school/families/hobbies/etc , it might take a while for them to get to your suggestions in the queue depending on how many suggestions they have to look through, my personal suggestion i made took 3 weeks to get looked at last time i sent one in.
(you should be able to see a “pending” category on your profile if you have suggestions still in the queue).
