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

Medi Ogre

I think it’s pretty safe to say that it’s the best 13.7 rn, it was second to the M2K-5F, but that one got moved to 14.0 for a while now.

The 14.7 decompression should help the 27sm even more, since it won’t face as many (currently but not for long) 14.3’s.

In top tier sim??

Specifically around takeoff and landing, I find it’s kinda hard to control.

(again, I’m new to sim.)

U gotta use SAS Damping mode

the what???

Search ur controls for “Toggle SAS mode” and bind it. Set it to “Damping” and enjoy smooth flying

Press the SAS button and cycle through the modes, damping works well on flankers

I see, I’ll try it out! Thanks a ton, I was having a ton of issues at ~200-400kph trying to land or take off.

SAS makes even carrier landing easy

I see. Well I might try the F-14 or Su-33 in sim then.

I just hopped in a test flight and this is so much easier omg.

They’re not great. I’ve actually never seen them perform well even at the top of their brackets. Early flankers still being 13.3 in sim will always baffle me

SAS activates the fly-by-wire in planes that have it. Most planes that have SAS damping benefit from it, but in earlier planes it can sometimes pull u up or down at certain speeds, especially if u’re carrying ordnance

That… would make sense as to why it felt like my plane was trying to kill me at low speeds.

Thank you so much .

you need to use that bc the flankers all have automatic flaps

they are deployed until ~ 700kph and until that speed you will have to fight the flanker constantly trying to pitch up, without SAS modes

Hope u enjoy sim now! We’re a growing community. Even helping out guys on the opposing team with gameplay tips is standard practise; much less toxicity and sweatiness

That’s what was happening to me and why I was trying to Trim it.

Thanks.
