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

Drag hasn’t been implemented to the Chinese tree it seems. Their missiles the same

17-18% lighter than earlier models with a 90’s designed wing and flight control system. The aerodynamics were greatly improved.

Yes it likely overperforms but as you said - no data

M2K is extra weird tbh, especially at high speed and roll is pretty agit which it’s not supposed to be.

you mean like irl? thrust vectoring high AOA maneuvers nuke your energy state.

Even the F-22 is vulnerable to this as shown in numerous air show demonstrations.

Yeah, I know it costs a lot of energy. I was exaggerating. I was picturing something like the coyote from the road runner cartoon dropping straight down after running past a cliff’s edge.

R-73 isn’t a “win dogfight” button in the 27 or 29, because you literally cannot keep a F-15/16/Gripen UFO in your gimbal limit of the missile if they have more than one brain cell. After a few seconds, you will be going 400kmh with them right behind you. Even if the R73 was completely 100% unflarable you have 0% chance to win after the merge, because of the flight model

Another bug report.
This time about airborne radars failing to update the track file for a spotted target. Seems to be happening much more with radars that scan slow (mostly Soviet).

It could also be an overall issue with bar spacing being too high (bars usually spaced so that there noticeable overlap in the scanning beam, if there little/none, targets might go unnoticed when they are in between bars)

And another one about contrails not rendering if you don’t have your radar on.

Aaand, the last one for now, about radar getting stuck in acquisition/locking.

It’s not, but it gives you a fighting chance despite the FM weaknesses of the 27 and 29.

Thank you. Is it ok if I get some more footage of these bugs and send them to you? The videos I provided are pretty short, so I just wanted the demonstration to be easier to understand (especially the bug with TWS missing targets).

Ofcourse, shoot me a DM.

Could you check this one too please? It was made more than 10 days ago and there has been no response yet…it is also related to the su27

Su-27’s fate is to be forgotten in the game

Well then lets hope they dont fk up Su-35/37.

Well we can hope but like @Malekitth said those are all based on the og su27, if the su27 fm sucks then late flankers most likely will suck too

Every time, like clockwork:

The Su-35S has a slightly modified airframe. The Su-35S also lacks an air brake behind the cockpit. It is stopped using flapperons and rudders.
