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

[I_Phobos_I]

On this moment ( March 2025 ) 30SM2 have updated N011M with increased range for use R-37M, and have AL-31FP. Al-41F still installed only on prototype, but I think after 1-2 mounts we get few serial sm2 with AL-41

There’s something I need to explain to you!..Your link does not indicate at what altitude…
According to my link it is 2.495 km/h in 10.975 m(2.1M)…
Table…

Spoiler

Mach 2.35 at an altitude of up to 11,000 meters is 2906 km/h, which raises serious doubts!
If 2.35M is at an altitude of more than 11,000 meters, then this will be approximately the same value of +/- 2500 km/h…

2.35 Mach this 2450 km/h

Slap or not?

HUD tint changed :D, still needs to look green from the outside tho

[Anonymous4245]

Did they fix the target not showing up on hud?

[Kir]

Every online converter I can find says Mach 2.35 is ~ 2900km/h

Imagine flying 2.35M in common jet near ground

Airspeed Conversions (CAS/EAS/TAS/Mach)

Use altitude

[BBCRF]

Alt=12 km speed of sound 295.069 m/s
2.35Mach= 2.35×295.069=693.41m/s
693.41×3.6=2496 km/h

[Anonymous4245]

Mach speed is variable with altitude

Still the disgusting fm

Changed HUD doesn’t mean they changed scheme

well i found this

@unluckyg

so, i was looking at the current bug reports from the dev server and i found some relevant for the su30sm:

Inaccurate J-11B and Su-30SM afterburner:
Su-30SM incorrect crew ejection procedure:
SU30SM HUD NOT SHOWING RADAR TARGETS:
Su-30 Radar detects and locks onto chaff:

(new bug reports):
Manoeuvre mode forcing horizontal angle and using rudders: - this one is forcing the plane to level the wings really aggressively when the limiter is off, you basically keep fighting against the plane if you are upside down or sideways, making it really hard to aim.
N011M GMTI Does not Slave Sight Stabilization:
Su-30SM N011M Bars Radar elevation missing +/- 5 degrees:
Su-30 incorrect AoA indicator in the HUD:
N011M Bars radar incorrect range:
SU30SM should not have fuel in the vertical stabilizers:

bug reports accepted:
N011M Bars Datalink Channels:
Su-30SM Thrust Vector Control mode incorrect:
SU-30SM HUD Inaccuracy:
Su-30’s canopy is bugged:
R-77-1 seeker range is underperforming:
Su-30SM IFR Training Bar blocks visibility:
Su-30SM wrong pilot model:
Su-30SM wrong dispensers model:
Su-30SM 3D model inaccuracies:

updated again… 2 more bug reports (radar range and about the fuel in the vertical stabilizers) and with the ones already accepted D:

edit: oh, looks like your bug report about the 3D issues of the su30sm was also accepted @ron_2303

edit2: more changes for su30sm fm and radar, this is from today

[I_I_I_I]

Su-30SM wrong pilot model: is accepted
but the fm still disgusting

[unluckyg]

yeah i just edited that D: (thanks)

I’m not sure what folks were expecting with a flanker that weighs an additional 2-3 tons with engines that don’t output anymore thrust than before. It’s like the F15E compared to the F15C FM wise minus the better engines.
