Bu bu bu but canards!

Canards give advantages only on large AOA

the canard was in compensation for heavier radar it gets, which also complemented with double wheel nose gear (although canard omitted on Su-35S as the TVC (also better thrust from AL-41F1S) itself already able to solved the heavy radar issue)
We have now MiG-29smt 2014.
And Su-30MKI it’s 2000 year plane

Is this a lift/drag chart for Su-27?
more like Su-30, cus of canards
And the bug report for this is where?
Just because Eurofighter is on the horizon people go for thrust vectoring? Meh.
At 14.0 base Eurofighter and Rafale should be fine.
Thrust-vectoring might just mean even more speed bleed. I worry about how Gaijin might screw them up.

Thrown into the trash can as gaijin is satisfied with its current performance cuz it follows the g charts
Because many variants of the SU-30 get a FLIR pod.
The Russian version, in theory, would get the T220. But that seems a long shot, because Gaijin doesn’t seem to want USSR being able to multirole as effectively as other TTs.
I keep on reading about Su-30M2. Does it actually exist?
It might be a decent multirole for Russia.
Oh god… It’s still using the N001 according to this post.
Granted I don’t know how accurate that is.
M2 would be DoA. Pretty much the only decent Su30 choice to be added after the F15E’s introduction is the SM
uh huh, sure buddy
The devs literally said that they are comfortable with the plane’s performance as it is following the g charts on the reports that were previously made here by the community.

It was that the devs acknowledged that there was a deviation of about 0.4g of underperformance but they think that 0.4g is close enough, and they don’t see the need for them to fine-tune it. In the meantime, F-15A and F-16A are overperforming, the eurocanards will likely overperform because of lack of documentation, so this exacerbates the problem.
To conclude, Su-27 is indeed underperforming, but not by an incredibly large amount. But a lot of other aircraft are overperforming so it makes the problem seem bigger than it is.

I’d say the most egregious would be F-16A Block 10 and Gripen. The J-10 seems correct to data that I’ve
found regarding instantaneous turn but is probably overperforming slightly in sustained turn. The Gripen can currently outrate the F-16 including the Block 10 which is pretty ridiculous. The Gripen has a much lower thrust-to-weight ratio compared to the F-16 and J-10, and plus the Gripen isn’t using a far-coupled canard like the Eurofighter which would be more ideal for energy retention.
I’m not sure about the specifics for F-15A, but I think it is overperforming in instantaneous turn.
