Well that could extend to several years too bad we about to get deleted from every air battles
in the next update.

Don’t get too excited it’s still coming with same weaponry and same FM it will suck but maybe just maybe slightly less

If it just has a better radar, then I’ll be able to live for now. I’ve been spoiled by how my F-15’s radar contacts aren’t 8 seconds out of date.

It have MiG-29SMT radar but you have to meet with enemy that have everything better than yours. Maybe it will have thrust vectoring but speed bleeding is horrible and dogfights in top tier is rare thing

Since when did su30sm have thrust vectoring?

Since the start. SM variant is based on indian MKI which had TVC, India got their MKI in maybe 2002 if i remember correctly and Russia just used it as based to modifie it for their air force.

Oh yeah you’re right. For some reason I thought the su30sm was the first su30/confused it with the su27ub

So let’s see how crappy Gaijin’s FM will be

Instantly stall in one turn and become a windmill is what I expect.

Are the su30s capable of doing what the su37 was doing at air shows?

After all, I am also a developer

Dev of what? The Su-30SM DCS Mod?

No.

MiG-29SMT uses N010 Zhuk, Su-30SM uses N011M Bars.
Zhuk is Mechanical, Bars is PESA

It’d be a better comparison to say that the Su-30SM will get the Su-34 radar, but even then, the Bars radar should be better than the ground-attack focused V004.

Su-30SM should have a radar comparable to the Rafale irrc

Please keep it on topic, enough with JF-17

Is the SPO-15 accurate enough on directions to notch with? It certainly doesn’t feel like it

Not really, no
