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

China has been eating good since the j7e, the little energy monster

china bias?

Only then it gets a somewhat strong CAS (since every “[X-nation] bias” is mostly GRB and CAS by extension)

It’s not bad, it’s just not as maneuverable as ppl thought it would be, if you put canards and increase the weight of the plane while maintaining the same engines it’ll perform worse, unfortunately it is what it is… It’ll be enough for BVR, if you find yourself in a 1v1 TVC+r73 combo can do some crazy stuff.

Just don’t look at CN ground lol
Not to mention missing CAS loadouts.

Pretty sure it’s just gaijin modeling being crap

The moment I saw the WS-10s on the J-11B and confirmed the Su-30 would get the AL-31 was pretty much just confirmation that the Chinese flanker would be the better one in the update

One more year* before Gaijin actually decides to check the Su-30 FM. If they ever decide to even remember about it (like the MiG-29)

Typhoons top speed is mach 2.35. In game it can reach around 2.25 atm.

Are you confusing it with the Rafale? That one has a top speed of mach 1.8

The Su-30 was not even nerfed. It wasnt even modelled before hitting the dev server, somehow.

There is already documents that show it goes upto Mach 2.3 lol

now we get the brand new tupolev30 xd

We have Mach 2.0 quoted by the manufacturer.

We have mach 2.35 quoted by the germans.

We have Mach 2.3 to stop derailing and trying to make the typhoon look worse for no reason. We have stuff explicitly saying it does Mach 2.3 now stop it

Not trying to make the Typhoon worse. Confused why the manufacturer would play down the top speed.

Su-30SM(E) should be 1.75 mach, as stated by rosoboronexoirt
So, near to 1.8 wing rip
Reports not accepted yet

I wonder if I understand this right. The Su-30SM has a similar turn performance to an F-15E. With that said, F-15E beats it at time to speed lol

I wonder if statshark was updated with new data
