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

Someone mentioned a change of Oswald coef in the last patch, being now at 0.54like all other Sukhoi, did that change anything ??

Would it really though?

I havent had time to hop in and test since the recent update and extension. But i could tell you i have no clue what the Oswald coef is or does.

Of course the Su-30 would have superior kinematics to the F-15E
With 12 MRAAMS a better Radar and TVC

Typhoon and Rafale have had flight model changes. If the Typhoons Radar is still tragic the Su-30 will supercede it in BVR and Medium to short range.

Not really? There is an interview by TASS with gen director of Irkutsk aircraft plant in which was said that they have plans for modernization of Su-30SM2, which also include the installation of AL-41 engines

How the FUCK this going to help in ARB or ASB like serioulsy ? This is litteraly “Kill me” button

This slow piece of bullshit can’t even speed up how it’s going to compete against other 14.0 planes ?

its just funny and will help with 1 circle fights where you just need to throw a r73

Because you can use it at high altitudes too to turn harder. Or you should be able to.

You are not just depending on the wings to generate the lift and change of direction.

issues related to the new “maneuver mode” mechanic (this may affect all planes that received this, but I only tested it with the su30sm and f18)

If your going slow enough at high altitude to use the new mode your dead before you even get to use it. If you do use it your fucked. Aircraft already struggle at high altitude with turning what you think is gonna happen the moment you use the new mode lose all your speed go into a stall? It’s a death sentence

Is there even enough air to turn in great altitudes?

Raptor can use TVC at supersonic speeds
Can the Su-30 not?

The thin air reduces lift, the Su-30 has canards additional lifting surfaces and TVC

it can

TVC yes but the new mode isn’t TVC it’s removing the limiter

You can’t use the new limiter removing thing at Mach speeds you have to be slow and slow at high alt is death sentence.

Is statshark using the updated figures for the Su-30SM’s flight model?

ahaha I was once again convinced that FM is full of shit

The Su-30SM of the Republic of Belarus still have different software and their display is slightly different.
