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

The primer color, most likely. But I have my doubts about this method, since the F-15EX uses both green and yellow. The yellow is most likely zinc chromate, and the green… Well, that’s also an anti-corrosion primer for aluminum, but why they use a zinc-containing primer and not one is a question.

Well, this seems to be Su-35 airframe.


compared to MiG-35

Or Su-57

true, all aircraft with RAM have a massive increase in weight, imagine a plane the size of the flanker, does anyone know if the SM2 will also have RAM?

lmao for real

“allegedly”

WE ARE SO BACK FLANKER BROS

Now I wish they’d fix their camos

Yep. Apply more salt water.

They did that the last time already

I uh… i actually kinda like the weathered look personally.

Anyone got the link to the original report for the Flanker 3D model? I just wanna see what else is missing.

At least it looks a tiny bit more accurate, I don’t know what the depth of field of the real image under here is, but in WT at least, the IRST still looks as big as a basketball xD

EDIT: front landing gear is definitely inaccurate

I know this video is two weeks old, but did anyone else notice the Russian Knights skin for the base Su-27? (timestamped)

It was a twitch drop reward

I forgot about that.-

Waaaait a moment, is that a CLEAN WING on Su-30SM in-game?

Edit: nevermind, pylons just blended with background, saw them after looking closer.

The War Thunder version lacks cable?

Looks to me like it’s missing some hydraulics parts and maybe the cable yeah, other than that, after looking into the model report I’d say the model inaccuracies are:

  • Vertical stabs still have wrong modelling
  • IRST is most likely too big (probably because it’s pasted from the Su-33)
  • Clean wing configuration is not possible, since the pylons stay in place all the time

What’s wrong with them? They seems to be accurate enough, no?

The persistent pylon is so stupid honestly, I mean, F-16 used to be the wing pylon can be removed when you don’t have a missile, now every F-16 have that persistent pylon.
