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.

Should be specified in here

Yep, I’m pretty sure it doesn’t impact the FM ofc, but it just looks ugly, as someone who takes screens of jets, they are annoying if you wanna recreate clean-wing configs…

Ah, antenna layout, gaijin worst nightmare. Still funny that a jet with so many photos is so hard to model correctly

If you guys wanna give this a bump, maybe it will have more chance to be looked at.
