without new engines?
Getting accepted doesn’t really have anything to do with the dev team. It is all (or mostly) dependent on whether a tech mod sees it and accepts it. Ever since Gaijin moved onto the new bug reporting platform the number of bugs has went up a ridiculous amount (I will try to find the number, but it was nuts), because of the ease of reporting it provides. There are so many garbage and low effort reports (or reports done in good faith, but still of low quality because of lack of knowledge experience). A lot of times reports just don’t get noticed and you have to ask a tech mod to look at them.
However, it should be noted that a major (or even key) reason is simply the number of bugs this game has. There is a shit ton of reports on small yet somewhat important bugs. Before, bug reporters would simply not reports small bug that is not game breaking and/or easily avoidable, because they would rather spend the time/effort or more important bug reports. Now that reporting is easier, a lot more of the smaller bugs get reported. While they are still important to report, it increases the overall time it takes any sort of bug to reach the devs.

I could’ve sworn I heard that there were new batteries in the SM, so I’d imagine perhaps even better batteries in the SM2? Maybe it can draw power better because of that?
The old man in the interview may have been referring to the SM2 once it’s equipped with the AL-41F’s.
Lastly, based on the condition of the airfield they were flying out of, and the sortie location, I think the age of the footage puts it at 2023. The news I’ve read from 2024 says they now have AL-41F’s, so who knows I guess.

I don’t understand what we are talking about here. Su-30SM2 is already undergoing modernization, AL-41 engines and avionics from Su-35 are being installed. In fact, two maximally unified aircraft. Identical engines and on-board electronics. Russia have already made more than 30 aircraft.

Thx, I am in a no youtube nation RN.
Coulda swore the SM3 was a modification to bring older Flankers up to par with the Su-35 standard-
You can’t really bring the Su-27 to Su-35 standard. Despite looking similar on the outside, there are many internal differences as well, that can’t be changed through replacement/refits.

From all that I’ve read the SM2 standard incorperated the IBRIS radar and the SM3 standard further upgraded the airframe-
Though, many of my sources are mainly hearsay, so I am unsure.
The dimensions of the Su-35 are entirely different. The space between engines, size of the airframe, the wings, etc it is all larger than the Su-27 slightly. They are totally incompatible and share few parts.
Does su27sm3 share the same air frame as the earlier 27s? Ik it has extra pylons on the wings, but but other than that, im not sure the differences in the air frame.
It is modified, it is not an entirely new and incompatible airframe as some parts may be reused unlike the Su-35.
Yes, I did not say they were the exact same on the outside, but similar.
Which is why you cannot bring Su-27 to Su-35 standard.
For all intents and purposes it would be like trying to upgrade a legacy F-18 to Super Hornet standard. It isn’t possible, they are not the same plane.
Yeah, Super Hornet is much larger than the original Hornet, not to mention aerodynamic differences.
