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

Because you said you want Typhoons engines
With Su-35 you will have similar TWR
An PESA/AESA Radar
14 missiles and a great Fm

On an unrelated note. Anyone played with a base 77 lately? Does it also wobble like hell like the 77-1?

Thats fair its a cloee battle between those 2!

Didn’t say that, I said the Typhoon has its own advantages over the Su-30, the incredible flight performance.

Which is primarliy its TWR. Does the 27SM have AL-41s ingame?

No, it has Al-31F somethings. So again, nothing to do with the Su-30 and Typhoon

30 never flew with none TVC engines?

What?

That’s not how it works. You have to consider a lot of stuff before calling something unbalanced or so. Back when they added Apex Predators f-14s had 6 radar missiles while MiG-29 had 2, would that mean that the game was unbalanced? Not really (in fact it was unbalanced towards american jets cuz that 2 missiles the 29 have are monsters).

In the case of the su-30sm although it gets a absurd amount of pretty good missiles, the platform isn’t that good (it’s a much heavier su-27 with the same engines), and that accounts a lot for the performance of the missile you’ll launch.

It does the problem is team size and late to mid game a Su-30 just dumping loads of missiles at a single target.

F-15s do it too. I struggle to see how when we come to F-15EX and Su-35 how we are going to balance the game for Typhoons, Gripens etc

My fear is we increase missile quality.
R-77M, Aim120C5

And maybe new IIR missiles

Meteor missiles, Typhoons will do perfectly fine at minimum

30MKK has no TVC afaik, but that’s the KnAAPO Su-30 not the Irkut one

They couldnt make Meteors work on the map sizes we have game needs to change a lot

Unfortunately it is what it is and nothing can be done about it, it’ll only get worse in that sense (missile spam). That’s why i prefer to not go beyond 90s tech, i find early 4th gen aicraft combat more interesting.

I do enjoy the Tornado least the Radar works ha ha

Unfortunately it also has to do with Airframe sizes. Do understand the likes of the F-15E and Su-27 family are heavy multiroles in the sense and this ofc mean they’re also massive, and being massive means more hard points and therefore pylons

sure just give the su35 6xr37m
