Lift is the wrong term, but the effect is the same. Reason aircraft cannot turn in thin air is the lack of lift generated due to the thin air.
TVC help to mitigate this by directing the thrust

Yes just helps point the nose
Indeed it does
Yessir but there is no increase in lift or generation of reaction control like the Harrier lol.
The soviets admired the Harrier greatly.
The SUs basically tried to copy what the Harriers discovered on accident.

You must really love the harrier. But stop with the Nonsense. Engine nozzles on the harrier are on the middle of the body. Compare to the end like F-22 or Su’s. They don’t work the same. In the F-22/Su- Case the nozzles push the tail In thus increasing the Nose AoA. While harrier push the whole fuselage up.

Harriers also have RCS jets throughout the fuselage.
Do they not cause the same change in pitch and attitude is what I should ask.
they buffed TVC on the Su30

Sorry for my ignorance on this, do these numbers bring the TVC similar to how it was when DEV opened?
I’m a bit excited to fly the su-30sm once it goes live, i only tested it without the fm improvements.
some of them might but i can say for sure that tvc is alot better for YAW now

Dev is open btw :D
Su-30SM still doesn’t have HUD Markers
Bad?
Su’s recieved flight model buff not to long ago, they are not as bad as they used to be.
Especially SM since it recieved better engines and additional 2 missiles.

Worse engines than 27SM, better radar and missiles though
Also NCTR got nerfed, doesn’t show on the MFDs now. So useless in IFF (until gaijin adds IFF in STT)
