Sukhoi Su-27/30/33/35/37 Flanker series & Su-34 Fullback - History, Design, Performance & Dissection (Part 1)

I wouldn’t go that far.

Flanker (and many other aircrafts) need fix for radar scan pattern and that will be enough imo

Just waiting for this @Grimtax issue to actually pass to devs

MiG-29 needs war thrust setting added to the game.

I’m curious, what do you mean by that ? Do the N001 have access to other pattern than the current fixed one ? It’s one of my main issue with the SM since the SMT get both narrow and wider pattern which are very useful.

EDIT : oh I read the report and I see what you means. The scan rate is incorrect.

Bro is posting from a future where we have the SM3

I meant that the FBW will not allow you to overload more than 9 in the high-speed mode and 7 in supersonic mode

Wasn’t this improved on Su-35 and Su-30MKK?
Or am I remembering wrong

These aircraft have improved durability and there is no dip at transonic speed

I see.

Oh, ok.

What I was talking about is very low speed bleed at supersonic speeds.
About -10 km/h each second while turning at 12 G at ~1200 km/h (sea lvl, 20 min fuel, pylons with no missiles).

Not as close as actual F-16, but I must say, it can contest F-15 now instead of failing after one circle.

Still only part of the problem. No vertical tracking in TWS is another one.

Got sauce? Link to a thread or a screenshot of the DM (if the other person permits).

now that the Su-27SM has the new engines, it is the Su-27SM3

Not exactly. Apparently later Su-27SM’s were refitted with the same engines.

Plus the SM3 would have extra pylons.

Is it not sm3? It has 2 more missiles which means it’s sm3 no?

it has 2 more missiles already, the only difference is that they added them with the double belly pylons which are fictional on the Su-27SM, rather than adding extra wing pylons like the Su-27SM3, at this point it is effectively an SM3 in every aspect but name

Makes a big difference for munitions other than the R-77.

the only difference would be being able to take 2 more R-27ER if you choose to instead of only extra R-77

I’m talking about Kh-29TD’s in a CAS role.
