Will SM3 be also heavier?

Huh that sucks, I thought it would get newer radars and shit.
Does Russia have any decent heavy fighter pre su35? Like a good su30 variant or something like that.
yep

This is because they are built from heavy Su-33 airframe base?
No. The Su-33 has nothing to do with them at all

@_Fantom2451 While researching for Indonesian stuff, I realized that one Flanker variant is missing in your List; Su-30KI, the only single seat Su-30 built. It was offered to Indonesia, though I am not sure whether they tested it or not ?

Su-30SM/SM2
What version of the Su-27 is on par, avionics wise, with the F15C and F16C we have in game? And how soon before they are added to the game do you guys think?

Su-27M maybe?
It seems the Su-27 we have right now may be the one we stick to for a few months.
I know the Su-27SM2 has technically the Irbis-E radar, which is the one on the Su-35 if I’m not mistaken (correct me if so).
The aircraft feels pretty okay-ish for the most part, radar is atrocious tho and FM and instructor are schizophrenic ;)
The radar problems and the lackluster performance of the R-77 are issues no matter how you look at things. The main problem around this BR is that EVERYTHING with spamraams is just head over heels outperforming everything. I guess there are some exceptions for the F-4 ICE and the harrier. The problem is that basically all of the spamraam planes should be at a higher BR.

I checked and yes, Su-35 may be the best bet xD
Flanker are a bit sad RN
They are definitely issues, and they need to be taken into account, however I do think that since the Changes made to R-77 and all other missiles, the missile feels better to play overall.
F15s are the true powerhouse tho and Aim-120 are overall better suited in a ARB match.
I don’t know how the balance may change, but what I’m mainly hopping for is a rework/buff to the main USSR planes, MiG-29 and Su-27.
Su-27 radar probably won’t change, except if we get sources on how the N001V performs which seems unlikely. (I wish it was different)
Mig29 SMT might stay as the best russian plane for bvr until the addition of late mig29m or the super flanker, If they give it the r77-1 it might be able to compete with the western fighters.

Btw I knew that Russia was behind the West in terms of avionics but damn… The fall of USSR really killed these companies.

Could the R-27EA in the game be a good choice?
