Initial versions had the FP. 37FU wasn’t ready when the Paris Farnborough Airshow happened
i see, so they never even tested the 37FU?
They probably did with internal testing up until it crashed

I wonder if the su37 will make it to WT at some point and what engines gaijin will put on it, lol.
but for now, i’m hoping for this:
Hmm seems like it got the ordinary AL-31 in the latter years of its life.
Su-37 is essentially what I want for the Su-30 without going all in on the avionic upgrades of the Su-35, also it looks cooler than the 35 because of the canards

Not true.
isnt the su37 also lighter compared to the su30sm? tbh i just wanted the su35 engines on the su30sm D: a little bit more of thrust would be awesome
It is
Being a single seater tend to do that
In War Thunder it is a bit more than a gimmick.
TVC is literally one of the biggest gimmick in game. Unless you actually enjoy losing all that energy
I do not agree. R-27ER is still very useful especially on SU-27SM and older Flankers but R-77-1 is more versatile and safe to use.
SU-30 IS a heavy machine especially if a whole missile arsenal is hanging on it’s pylons.
But that is not an issue.
There are situations in which it carries the whole plane.
Irl. it tends to be more of a gimmick due to range and aerial warfare tactics and formations but in game things are different.
Even in merges it’s usefulness is questionable at best, cause again, losing all that energy is not necessarily good for survival
:( when gaijin stop being lazy, we still dont have a “clean” config for the su30 either, lot of stuff need to be fixed related to the 3d model

R-77 is more versatile and efficient currently when it is paired with R-27ER.
MICA is better unless you shoot at afk players on the other side of the map.
R-77-1 is a straight upgrade.
Merging in general is not good for survival.
Your view is to simple.
In a merge with Rafale thrust vectoring as well as R-73 and R-77 are what may save you from a Rafale.
I think a report about the flame color was even made already xD, but since the afterburners are copy n pasted textures… no wonder it hasn’t changed.
And yeah 3D model still looks kinda off according to some reports

You win matches by pressing your advantage, not by playing it safe.
Too many players play it safe by rippling off all their missiles at the start and running back to base.
