because the tail is shortened for carrier landings
Feel like we should dampen the expectations
While better avionics is good
Trust vectoring is a Mixed bag
Yes it lets you pull off Insane maneuvers at low speed but it removes alot of Forward Trust which could make the speed bleed much worse
Surely it’ll be toggle able though?
And weren’t there talks here about getting an SM with upgraded tvc engines?
Also I am all for the extra supermaneuverability considering how insane Flankers already are at low speed!
It would use the same engines as the su27sm/su34 while being heavier… so its probably gonna be mid unless the thrust vectoring gimmick is actually useful

There is a variant of the Su-30SM that uses the AL-41, producing 2000 lb-f more thrust and being better suited for supercruise. It produces more dry thrust, has a variable bypass, and more afterburner thrust (especially dynamic) as the temp limits are greatly increased.
That of course is also the engine used on the Su-35. Without the addition of game mechanics like jamming and electronic warfare there will be few reasons to go after the Su-35 after the Su-30SM except for reduced weight…

I think instead they’ll just give it R-77-1’s are call it a day.
I don’t foresee those coming without the addition of AIM-120C-5 for example because it would simply trounce most other ordnance in the game. They should probably fix the current R-77 first and then re-evaluate such a decision.
Its already in the files, and definitely not gamebreaking like people think it will be.
From memory, I think it was a bit more reach than the AIM-120A at high altitudes, but less at low-mid altitudes, something like that.
The in-game performance is not realistic. There is information that may be useful in buffing it after the addition but we cannot report it prior.

Did the Su-27S get a buff or something? its pretty damn good with R-27ER.
Only FM buff 2 weeks ago, nothing related to its weaponry afaik
No, AL-31FP have standart AL-31F thrust 12500/7600.
What stops Gaijin from putting TVC M1 into 30SM?
2000 kgf, not lb
