It’s only for balance or historical buff?
I dont know if its historical but its a nice change

They must have changed it as the initial SU-27 still had 10km hmd when I tested it earlier.
I think you were looking at ACM PD not HMD PD.
No, I was testing the SM and normal 27 back to back after i noticed the SM had a 20km HMD.
Only SM has that improved hmd?
No, they both have it now, but it wasn’t that way earlier.
Now i have even more question, like why? Gaijin has any sources why they buffed it?
They also must have messed with the FM too, as earlier i was able to pull 12gs above mach and bleed speed a lot quicker, but now it barely holds 10gs and can comfortably stay above mach while pulling.
Interesing…
Range limit isn’t really a thing irl… It’s pretty much just a lock like you would do from search mode

For reference, I was in the dev server about 15 minutes after it opened and tested everything I wanted within the first hour.

There is no limit IRL. Gaijin just plastered the same 10 km limit that is on the vertical ACM.

I’m not sure if it’s just my impression, but the FM of the Flanker on the dev server seems better. I can pull 14~15 Gs in turns there (with normal Mouse Aim Controls), but not on the live server, even with the same fuel and payload settings. How could this be explained?
The HMD buff will be most useful with carrying and using 4 ERs, like other people said the R-77 struggles at hitting people from 10km in the slightest of cranks on deck, nevermind 20km
Placebo maybe? I just tested the dev vs live Flanker and they pull about the same.
Yeah, no changes to the FM in the datamine.
