Has anyone or will anyone bug report the double racks that shouldnt be on this jet then? The argument for them on the 27SM from my understanding was that the R-77 was subpar, but the R-77-1 is (in a vaccuum) the best missile in-game starting this patch forwards, and even considering launch aircrafts offers a bit more than parity over all missiles in-game.
There would no longer be any balance related reasons to have them on the Su-30SM, and once on live, gaijin wont remove them.
His calculation are wrong. Yea there is a difference between Su-35s and other flanker but its not by that much. Its barely even noticeable Its more like the engine are tilted outwards. Su-35s has same dimension as other flankers its just tiny thing like the sting on the tail. The engine tilt because AL-41 has bigger diameter. And some diff on the radar cone
Clearly in pic. There its not diff. on Su-30sm and Su-35s.
Edit; I guess in gaijin mind if there its not Clipping on the model its should work just fine.
its funny how wrong the 30 looks in game next to that
The Su-30Sm has serveral inaccuracies in its 3D model as you might have noticed,
so I made this bug report:
https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/jLyP0AcOEhy3
@BBCRF feel free to ping me or to sent me a PM if there are further issues with the model so I can add them to the bug report.
@Gunjob could you please forward the bug report.
Flanker enthusiasts, I would like to ask a question: is there real-world evidence that the Su-30SM can carry the KH-38MT?
I dont know about any but there is Kh-59M evidence.
Thats not double pylons
I saw people saying that it would have the same engine as the Su27SM, is that true? Nonetheless, i am loving this aircraft.
No Su-30SM only use AL-31FP
As i know IRL early Su-27SM also used AL-31F, which is same by thrust
What is the empty weight of the Su-30SM right now?
18.4t according to the datamine
Seems to be accurate then
Su-30MKI is also 18.4 tons empty
@ron_2303 did a bug report about the 3D inaccuracies of the su30sm, might be good idea to also include this (the wrong tail and flaperons)
The size of the flaperon is not correct
