I mean i will switch from playing F-15C to playing the EFT. I’ve got very little time to play this year, not going to waste it on boats like Su-34 and 33

I’m just waiting to see how tf the devs will describe the su-33 in the devblogs, what they will say trying to make it interesting enough to bother researching.

Coming in the next update, the Su-27 Su-33 is one of the main top-tier jet aircraft that does the update name “Air Superiority Storm Warning” justice! Let’s start with its flight characteristics. This aircraft itself is quite large and heavy, but its powerplant, consisting of the powerful Saturn AL-31F engines accelerate the Su-27 Su-33 at altitudes to speeds close to 2500 km/h. Combined with an integrated airframe design with a lifting fuselage, this turns the Su-27 Su-33 into a true aerial acrobat — it’s not for nothing that maneuverability is rightly considered the calling card of a fighter aircraft!

Did su27 ever have BOL pods?

6344

BOL is a nato western countermeasure system why would a Russian aircraft have BOL?

6345

So Russia stuck with 96 cms

6346

He probably meant a similar system on which you could install more CMs

What does the Su-33 even offer over the current Su-27SM ingame?

All I can think in terms of improvements of are canards, slightly larger wings, x2 additional R-27 slots and… nothing else. It’s kinda a downgrade overall and at best a sidegrade for top tier no?

Nothing beyond capping naval/Yak line?

SU-33 is a lovely addition especially since it should not be ate the absolute top BR.
Both SU-27 we have in game currently are great fun.
My biggest issue these days are friendlies not minding their missiles.

6351

It’s exactly that, it has a slightly improved engine but it’s insignificant, it’ll never make up for the 4 ton weight increase.

Are the canards on the Su-33 moving or fixed canards?

6353

Someone here said fixed canards, no idea how true

6354

I believe it moves just like the su34

6355

It can potentionaly have S-8PM chaffs what is additional 80 chaffs (20 per B-8M).

Correct me if i am wrong but the Su-33 not only has less countermeasures but also moves them to a different location right?

6357

48 cm without S-8PM (which are not in game - +80 chaffs). Probably in naval line.
