We’re not allowed to have the SU-30SM, an actual counter to the PESA carrying Rafale and the new best dogfighting EF-2000. We get the SU-33 that is going to be a heavier SU-27S with two more missiles that are not going to make a difference.

That’s what happens when the devs don’t actually play their game

Can’t wait to fight PESA radar with the best FM performance in game with my shitty Su-33 with a radar that should be in a museum, à RWR that is pain in the ass and 48CM

And wise FM performance ofc….

I’m glad typhoon and Rafale are added I love them irl and they are a cool addition although a bit OP I assume…

But USSR a major nation is now a third word country…

I mean i will switch from playing F-15C to playing the EFT. I’ve got very little time to play this year, not going to waste it on boats like Su-34 and 33

I’m just waiting to see how tf the devs will describe the su-33 in the devblogs, what they will say trying to make it interesting enough to bother researching.

Coming in the next update, the Su-27 Su-33 is one of the main top-tier jet aircraft that does the update name “Air Superiority Storm Warning” justice! Let’s start with its flight characteristics. This aircraft itself is quite large and heavy, but its powerplant, consisting of the powerful Saturn AL-31F engines accelerate the Su-27 Su-33 at altitudes to speeds close to 2500 km/h. Combined with an integrated airframe design with a lifting fuselage, this turns the Su-27 Su-33 into a true aerial acrobat — it’s not for nothing that maneuverability is rightly considered the calling card of a fighter aircraft!

Did su27 ever have BOL pods?

6344

BOL is a nato western countermeasure system why would a Russian aircraft have BOL?

6345

So Russia stuck with 96 cms

6346

He probably meant a similar system on which you could install more CMs
