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

knew it

Doesn’t F-15C, MiG-29SMT and etc have slotted antennas? And Su-27M too.

yup, missprint on my part, edited it

27M was never completed though?

It is series of prototypes, but completed ones

Do like the thrust vectoring that the SU-33 got.

Smin said this patch they wanted to focus on these nations that were left behind in Top tier, part of me thinks this is BS, Gszabi’s leak included J11B and J10B if i’m not wrong, but it ended up not coming, most likely this was a rushed update, to them the Eurofighter, Rafale and Su-33 were enough. But now with these new 14.0, we know that Russia will get something aswell very soon, as from what i was expecting and with the leak from Olivia, RUS will get Su-30SM, i feel like it’s gotta be coming in March Update.

Wanted a bit of feedback since the FM change of the SU-27 !

Afaik it has less speed bleed and the SM got better engines right ?

How well does the Su-27S fair against the SM with better engines ?
I assume low speed performance it’s good now.

negligible difference id say. smhas more power sure but its also a little heavier

Noob is right the difference between the two is negligible, like mig29 9.12 vs 9.13

Gotcha, is low speed handling better ??
iirc it was on the verge of stalling during low speed loops

It is much better, less speed bleed makes it very satisfying. It’s possible to dance in the air around your enemy, a beautiful sight i’d say.

The only issue is the supersonic overperformance but laziness won’t allow the devs to fix it.

nope

Yeah, gaijin tends to make everything overperform by a good metric or the other way around, at least it’s a good change ;)

Thats how most people who dont know expect the flanker to fly

in war thunder canards gives some kind of superpower for the planes that have it

And this is how it must fly.
