Sukhoi Su-27/30/33/35/37 Flanker series & Su-34 Fullback - History, Design, Performance & Dissection (Part 2)

the su30 in the first dev works better except in ratefight

iirc in the first two days of dev the Su-30 got:

  • Reduced thrust (from 12400kgf-ish to 11650)

  • Reduced tilt angles for the TVC

  • More wing stall coeff

  • Weight increase

yup

It was clearly way too dominant.

it is becasue it made the FM even more inacurate

why do you think flankers do so many cobras on airshows?

it is to show that they arent loosing thrust asymetrically when pulling a symmetric manouver

(i only pulled up to engage the cobra once it started pitching up, i didnt do anything)

how it is supposed to look like:

i know, i have the mod for DCS

you can do whatever’s shown in that maneuver no? at least that’s what it looked like when i tried it

you are not supposed to use either elevators or rudders during the manouver

especially since your rudders should have zero controll since there is no airflow over them

you can definitely see him using his elevators. ill do one with no rudders then

he only starts using his elevator once his AoA stabilized, if you were to pitch down during a cobra IRL you would enter an inverted leaf stall

yeah you’re right
shi just spins out without any rudder input.

6x r37 was only on mig31m sadly, and base r37, mig31bm has 4x r37m only

While MiG-31BM can’t carry 6 R-37 under fuselage, it can still carry 2 more on inner wing pylons, retaining 6xR-37 loadout capabilities.

mig31 can carry r37m in inner wing pylons? pics pls

i mixed it up with something else, on the right inner pylon.

Kh-31p

well we all know that the best loadout for the Mig-31 then will be
8x r60 and 4x r37
