Well it’s more of an Su-33 that was strikealized for ground bombing and target suppression, I think it should go right after the Su-33 when it comes into the game since it carries fox 3s and R73s compared to the only R27s and R73s of the Su-33. The Su-33UB is an Flanker-D on steroids
Bug report:
Su-27SM: N001VEP missing GMTI, GMTT, SSS, SST modes

This radar is present on the Su-33UB, would be nice to see it in-game because of its BVR capabilities…
Indeed it would be
So what I’m hearing is the Flankers are just gonna be doodoo forever.

Probably. I think if we don’t see major improvement by the December update then the flankers are done for. That’s why I started grinding France recently. I can do well in the SM but it really isn’t fun when you’re outmatched in pretty much all aspects.

They know that the Flanker is underperforming in turn by about 0.2g, yet they think it’s “close enough.”

0.4G not 0.2

I recommend giving up on that matter, the issues regarding FMs were already exposed, the devs will add/change stuff when (and if) they want, unfortunately…

They will add a good flight model of the flanker in

Anyway aside from dying inside from the gimped Flanker FM.
Does anyone have data on the Su-34?
More specifically about it’s targeting system, like the zoom and if it has thermals like the SM3.
Also can the 34 carry Kh-38MTs?
I’m sure LATER models had stuff like this, since it did come out during the immediate Post-Soviet Era, but all I can find on the most trustworthy unbiased and informative source in the world (wikipedia) only has the original Su-34 loadout and I couldn’t find anything on optics

Not even newer modifications?
Too bad, why weaken the maneuver of the flanker?
Good question. I dont want to invoke malice, so probably insufficient data with existing one being “close enough”. The Snail might elect to change/improve the flight model if they decide that Flankers under-perform game wise. But they probably, if push comes to shove, just slap R-77-1 on them and call that a day (note it for Soviet/Russian Flankers. Chinese J-11 are cursed to suffer until J-11B at the very least)
Edit: And yes, the overperformance of almost all 3rd and 4th gen fighters in the game (IIRC only one tuned like IRL is MiG-29)

because its russian, if was a US fighter should be overperforming like 30% in some conditions, like the f16
