yo guys, about 4 years ago I saw the news that the su30sm would receive Irbis E and AL-41F engines, can anyone confirm if this happened in later batches?
its a TVC on/off button basically

Nice :D, do you happen to know if the nozzles require their own key bindings tho?
well, i know wiki is not a source but
it looks like the su30sm2 already got the al-41, not sure how many of them

It’s only Su-30SM2 that uses AL-41F. No Su-30 has Irbis sadly, the 30SM2 has same radar as 30SM, but upgraded

No
Even more now with the absurd radar, su30sm Will be pretty competitive
As predicted it’s going to have an FM more BS than the Rafale and the Typhoon.
PESA Radar, 14 missiles…Will this be enough or will Russia keep suffering?
Yep and Typhoon can carry Meteor why the hell are you getting an R37?
He’s not saying It should get, just asking that if it carries the missile IRL or not, which It does
that’s what I hope, but I’m still traumatized by what happened with 29 and su27 (it was great in the dev server, people cried over it and it was nerfed) D:

Tbh i kinda understand the 29, they corrected the plane but left the f16 a little ufo able to pull insane amounts of aoa which made the fulcrum appear to be bad.
Su-27 was total BS tho, they just showed how lazy they were by using t10 documents to model it ingame, however i don’t expect them to screw the su30 apart from the TVC which i think it’ll suck at least for the first months…

Did you not see the above video TVC Su-30 is going to be cracked.
I have some doubts If it’ll be broken by making the plane more op or if it’ll just worsen its performance because of the energy bleed… Whatever it does, i don’t think it’s going to work fine, but this won’t surprise me cuz since the t10 fiasco i gave up on gaijin in the sense that i don’t believe they’ll ever pick quality over quantity in terms of new content…

Energy bleed is a factor, but in the short/medium range engagement envelope being able to just pull turns like that is going to be so strong.
Even when defeating SAMs in ground battles (not that Russian jets need to get close to SAMS with all the wonderful FNF missiles they get)
TVC is frankly a gimmick that bleeds your plane of a vast amount of energy, and is really only useful at incredibly slow speeds, it seems like just another way to kind of access Full-real controls from mouse aim haha. I’m sure it will be fun and somewhat useful but it’s not a genuine gamechanger in the realm of HMD + High-Off-bore missiles. Personally I may just mostly keep it toggled off so I can maintain speed far better.

Its flight model is 2 dimensional lines jerking around at best. It will not act like that in game.
