I wonder if the Su-33 might be Russia’s $80 premium? With that viggen bringing SPAMRAAMs to the table for premiums, then the Su-33 and its R-27ERs doesn’t seem as crazy for a premium anymore.

99% that MiG-23-98 will be premium

I hadn’t noticed mig-23-98. Depending on the BR it might be more viable than the Su-33.

The main russian attraction for the next update Will be either the 33, 30 or the 29k. I’m 90% sure it’ll be the crap 33 now that it is in the files.

I was expecting the 33 before the datamines. People have been hyping up the F-18 for ages. At a surface level the Su-33 thematically makes sense as a russian counterpart in that they’re carrier based aircraft. But man that power gap.

Does someone have classified Su-33 documents to share?

MiG-29K is a carrier jet too, but has access to FOX-3

29k would be a much better addition tbh, crap 33 not only offers nothing for bvr but will have a slightly modified fm due to bigger wings and slightly improved engines while having canards and being heavier than the regular su-27, guess what’s going to happen when trying to turn with that plane.

But AFAIK it has not so much CMs.

I think the ruskies don’t like CMs

In their defense, how often IRL does a plane need to defend against the missile swarm unleashed in the average 16v16 air RB furball?

Su-33s tail boom looks different from Su-27, I think it is have less CM. Am I right?

This is the one we should get as for next top tier.
