No, this is a real video

But this video from Su-27SM HUD, not Su-27S
Does su27sm have any structural differences from su27S? or better engines? idk tbh
Yes, they have better engine AL-31F M1 with 13.5t thrust
no
I don’t know how big the difference would be, in the case of the su27 bug reports that we have in war thunder, people used the su27sk flight manual(in this case this would represent the j11) which is 600kg heavier than the su27S…soo Idk, it might be acceptable to compare the performance of the su27sm with the su27S
Yes, this one looks real to me too.
I chatted about it with Squish yesterday.

The second video is real. However, without knowing the configuration, weight, exact type of aircraft, atmospheric conditions, etc. you cannot compare the performance in the game and reality
You can definitely compare, there generally doesn’t seem to be a realistic weight in-game where the aircraft would perform as well as the one seen in the footage.

I don’t know the weight, armament, engines, atmospheric conditions, airframe condition. I can’t tell much from these two videos, except that the HUD markings are a bit different.
he did it with the su27 using min fuel and couldn’t match the numbers…that should say something, unless the su27sm is extremely light in comparison to the su27s… i think that even if he removed the missiles and still had min fuel, that wouldn’t make him achieve the same numbers as in the real video
Afaik the SM3 has an extra pair of wing pylons. Don’t know about the SM-Null, SM1 and SM2 though
SM3 has two more pylons than the current Su-27S in-game and SM. SM2 doesn’t exist.
SM3 spotted with the additional 2 pylons

Turn piloting technique, G level. WT is a game, it does not simulate well any jet aircraft.
What’s that on the wingtip station? ECM pod?
yeah

It look more like the HUD of Su-27U dogfight with another Su-27PU in a practice fight.
The HUD also show that the radar being jammed.
@FeetPics made another video, sharing his opinions and doing some more tests and comparisons with the su27, in case anyone wants to see…
Try it without missiles

SM2 more or less became what Su-35 is, Russia chose Su-27SM3 at the time because it was cheaper iirc (prolly wrong though, just guessing since that’s what happened with T-72B2 and B3)
