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

Huh, Im surprised nobody picked up that Su-33 is a SQUADRON vehicle. Doesnt it make it first 4th gen squadron in game?

And it also means Russia doesnt getting anything TT this update (if BMD-4M is prem)

We’ve already got the JF-17 in-game as a squadron with SD-10A ARH missiles.

Pretty much, it’s not the first “special” 4th gen tho because of the mirage2000 and f-14a iriaf but yeah it’s the first squadron one

I mean, is it 4th jen or just glorified 3rd?

The JF-17 is a more than capable 4th generation aircraft which is closer to a 4.5th gen aircraft than to 3rd gen.

There’s nothing glorified about it…

I mean, considering the program started from J-7 which is MiG-21 in terms…
Oh well, no arguments I suppose

What is the su33 br in air sim?

Too optimistic dev knows about Su-27SM performance they already said that it’s sucks but not enough to do anything about it and sub top Su-33 not going to change it

it seems SU-33 has a modern degital RWR, shouldn’t it be SPO-15?

Nope, the rwr is the only improvement over the su-27

su33 went from no rwr to l-150

we might win these

From the dev blog. Hard to see (there’s a better angle screenshot, but quality is too bad), but it does look like wing sensor of L-150 (at least it the same as with Su-27SM)
