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

Yeah, I’m just thinking if we could just press the airbrake and have it work like this, so we wouldn’t have to maneuver manually to reduce speed like we do now in the game.

Oh nice, another plane that wont have airbrake in WT once its added.

Yeah, hopefully not the Rafale situation.

Rafale does pretty much the same, minus rudder.

I don’t mind if gajin decompression battle rating to 14.0 and add R-73M on Su-27SM sometime next year (uploaded image later)

I’m not sure if I can post something related to another game here, but it’s about su27 too…

man…i wish the flanker was like this in wt :( i just want a good fm, If we had this su27 i could deal and accept the r77 being horrible and the radar being bad, but the combination of everything being bad/average is just sad

Meh, just do an few S turns and you already loose enough energy and speed for a safe landing. Ever more so on Sukhois and it flight model

That’s incredibly depressing but unsurprising

The Su-34 does not use

DCS Su-27 still isn’t accurate, but it is much better than what we have right now.

Keep in mind that other planes such as F-15A and F-16A outright overperform in War Thunder as well, which exacerbates the issue with the Flankers.

I don’t know how incorrect the flanker in dcs is, but it’s insane to see in this video that there are several times that he isn’t even using afterburner, try doing some duel with the flanker in WT without using afterburner to see what happens, immediately you start falling from the sky

Su-34 doesn’t have any airbrake method in game, at least when engaging the airbrake function (typically “H” on the keyboard".

I love how the 10G wing rip on the F-16’s gets “fixed within a patch”, and the F-15A on dev wing rips so hard that it releases with no wing rip, and the community just has to complain, not even mention why or cite documentation.

Meanwhile we apparently have multiple hard proofs that the Su-27’s FM is incorrectly modelled, and we’re at over a year since it’s introduction now.

HOLY SHIT, GUYS, THIS IS NOT A DRILL - FM CHANGES:

Su-27S changes:

Su-27SM also gets thrust changes (alongside the changes S got above):

Su-33, Su-34, J-11, and J-11A got those changes too (except for thrust).

What does “takeoff” mean?

In short, what does it mean? Performance improvement?

It not only that we have have hard proofs, but that Snail actively refuse to take them, opting out on their own stuff. Honestly, at this point, thats the point of bugreporting if Snail can make a U-turn and claim that they prefer/believe their own source or claim that your source is “marketing pitch”

Edit: Holy sh*t, I did not saw the post below

the take-off weight became 95 tons
They also increased the thrust of the engine, although it is already too high

You can’t post this shit the same day i have analytical mechanics exam lol, now i want to test everything but need to relax until this afternoon lol.

Still looking at the changes this stuff looks REALLY promising!
