Idk, su-30sm is like 3 tons heavier than the 27
thats just a heavier Su-35S at that point
yes maybe a good folder vehicle
Su27sm3 would be a great folder vehicle.
we basically already have that
The su27sm3 would have 10 r77s(irl it had 8 but it didn’t have the double rack pylons, so it would be 10 in game) and it would have r771s instead of the normal r77s. Plus the vastly, vastly superior bvr performance of the original su27 compared to the su30, it would be a great vehicle.
ehh depends, it’s still stuck with the N001 though
wut i hope you are sarcastic
You can already try out the su27sm and see how much better it is than the su30 in terms of climbing, acceleration, time to speed, etc. su30 is just so dman heavy
Sure, but BVR perf is limtied by its avionics
i know its a heavy brick but the radar on the su27sm is so 13.0
it works ok at visual ranges good even if you havent enjoyed xESA (its like moving to OLED or a mechanical keyboard you dont want to go back ).
but bvr its terrible and don’t even get me started on the tws of the su27sm
TWS on the su27sm is more than enough for BVR >20km. And within 20km, you can just use your hms.
for starters its missing a flight path calculator (plane is moving but the tws just list the last known location until the radar is searching the airplane location again )
that is if its sees the plane at all which is also very luck based behind 20km
it would have the 2 extra wing pylons
inert R-73 on the right
R-77-1 is theoretically better than 120, except it’s bond to Su-30sm for now, and carrying base is trash and doesn’t really press anyone until enemy is bunch of typical Typoo/Ravioli fans which can’t notch. Having 120 in F-16C for example I can both do sniping shots at the beginning going mach 1.4-1.5 or slam enemy in some close range fights thanks to maneuverability which allows me to compensate aim-120’s turn.

SU-30 does it better…
Being a bit heavy is not the issue people make it out to be.

I hate Russian mechanical radars with a passion
(IDK, maybe they are better these days after recent bug fixes … Haven’t flown them in a while …)
It was 5 games before I realised that the SU30 has all the unguided bombs and rockets unlocked immediately from stock…
No other 14.0 has this except maybe the F18?
Every other top tier has to unlock dumb bombs/rockets
