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

The irony of this statement being that the Rafale that was added IS the Indian one, it was just added to the French tree xD

i mean sure, but at least it was added to the french tree lol, im hoping that gaijin hold the su30mki and the rafale from india, at least for maybe 2 updates, EF is enough for now and if/when the ef got the radar fixed they wont need another 14.0 jet for some time

Hope someone do the Digital T-50 skin. Like the one in the market for Su-27

That engine its for Single engine fighters like the J-10. Rostec info.

Pretty sure that there is not reason to even build more AL-31FP when 177s Has better life time (2000vs6000). Consume less fuel and has more Thrust. But yea there is no proof that current Su-30sm or sm2(maybe) are using them Right now.

I hope this color scheme ends up being at least the grindable skin like on the Su-34 (or even the base one maybe). It just looks too good on the su30

I’m a bit worried about how they’ll model bars considering the negligence towards the captor m

If we base ourselves on the su34 radar, it should be enough to at least have something good on the su30sm

Is the 100 meant to be the range it searches? can someone explain better the MFD display.

What is this from first of all?

Kazakh Su-30SM, backseat central MFD

Since the update is coming soon, I hope Gaijin doesn’t forget giving the Su-30 its much needed targeting pod. Damocles would be nice and the Kazakh variant with Litening would be exciting too.

Am i right that the Su-30sm will come with the french Thales 3022 hud ?
Or did it get replaced with a domestic one ?

Knowing Snail? They are just gonna copy Su-27SM HUD (and I know not only 27SM uses it, it just the closest jet in TT)

Is that the same HUD as the Rafale? cuz if so, thats pretty exciting for sim players.

  1. The Su-30SM for the Russian Air Force was produced until 2018…All of them are also Belarusian/Kazakhstani/The Armenian and Malaysian Su-30MKM are equipped with Thales HUD 3022 (CTH 3022)…

Except it isn’t the same HUD. It is closer to Su-34 HUD

To be frank, does it matter? (well, unless it academic interest, then sure) We dont see the instruments/screens for the second crew member anyway (Would be very based to actually be able to play from their perspective tho)

Well they will need to do that for Sim. And also generally I just like it better when planes have clean cockpits rather than a bunch of dials. Radar screens and RWR are really important.

Ok thanks. I read that France stopped delivering HUDs due to sanctions in 2015 but I couldn’t find any information on whether Russia has been using the IKSH-1KI or IKSH-1M since then, apart from this image:

Alright, So with us (hopefully) getting the Su-30SM next update, what skins do you guys hope come with?

I personally hope for one of those Light-Blue camos, with the black around the cockpit.
