I won’t said its good. At that point the missile has almost the same speed as the F-15 any slight turn and he could have evade it. I still want to see what the Su-35s would be able to do with better speed and able to launch two at the same time.
I maintain the lock on him from the 80+km. I usually do that on player that are flying thing like F-15/EF/RAFALE. Just to piss them off. Some time even shoot some R-77-1 just to force them going cold.
He wasn’t. IMO he thought that he still have time to launch at some people. You can see the contrail of third missile he launch on the second pic.
1 ton. And imo that its too much…
Idk about that. You can see pic of Chinese flankers without paint and the amount of Al-Li/Composite and Titanium its the same. IMO what make the Su-35s heavy than other flankers its the Digital component. While its was the best Russian could build at that time. Its aged really fast. To the point that they change them on Late T-50 prototype. So the advantage of Chinese flanker on weight come from the electronic and in some case like J-16 its the absence of the Gsh-30-1 and it ammo.
No, it isn’t. The Su35 has extra fuel tanks, that’s what makes them heavier. Over 2 tonnes more fuel capacity in fact. As for extra avionics, the radar is lighter than N001, by hundreds of kilos.
I mean it’s up to interpretation, cause different colour likely means different material usage, but well.
Yea it have a new fuel tank where the airbrake was suppose to be. So its a trade off. Also is not like that fuel tank have fuel all the time. Its just an option for more fuel. That Area of the frame its a bit large on Su-35s compare to a su-27. But compare to an J-16 that its a two seater?? which add more weight??.
Yea IRBIS its heavy that its true. But that its a component or system that can be change at anytime. And its not part of the Frame.
I know about the weight of IRBIS. But its true that Su-35s has more system than Su-30sm. Like the L-band radar on the wing. the IR maws… etc. So for me yeah su-35s its lighter than Su-30sm but end being about the same weight because of all these new stuff on it. I also still believe that the Knaapo brochure have Khibiny pod weight include. So the Su-35s don’t weight 19tons but close to 18.5tons.
Edit; Also note that that old Brochure talk about RAM on Su-35s and that also add weight.
That its now. He was talking about the past. Before India even “leave” the project. So technically both are correct?
Yea and Su-35s its suppose to get a new update this year. But we don’t know what update will be. I just hope its not just a software update to use new R-77M missile or something in that line.
Right now? yeah i does nothing. If gaijin do modele it correct in the future it would mean less range. But the points still stand. No Nations with Typhoon in game has AESA radar installed on them. In the Future when Germany finally start producing that AESA it could be installed on the Quadriga Eurofighters.
Probably MLUs that just gives better lifetime/hours to the airframe. Unless Russia finally figured out a cheap way to make AESA which would honestly be a possibility since they started equipping pantsirs with AESAs now
No one was clowned, Eurofighter mains can’t accept that their version of supercruise shares no parity with the F-22. Instead they continue to push that the Eurofighter has similar or better kinematics to Sukhois which is laughable.
