Probably. I had a lot more success with VEP than with Zhuk, but that’s just a matter of taste i’d say. On paper Zhuk is much better than Sword in pretty much everything.
Doesn’t it get two more pylons though?
no A2A missiles on them

I wish not, after that whole sh#t storm with VT4 they shouldn’t have any wester/russian vehicles if they wanted chinese vehicles so much
True. Anyway, a fulcrum would’ve made more sense as a premium but oh well
impossible. copy paste = cheaper.

The fulcrum would’ve been copypaste too… anyway, whatever they add we can already bet the model will be some poorly assembled mashup of existing planes with a ton of inaccuracies
i wont be surprised if they copy paste the physical model of su33/30 and rename it.

the Su-30MK2 isnt copy paste they have to change the 3d model for it

Nah this one doesn’t have canard it will be a copy of the 27
Also what’s fun is China is the original operator of the MK2 but they probably won’t get it
iirc they copied a lot of stuff from the su27 or su27sm for the su30sm when it was initially released. im sure it even had the spo-15 antena marking on the sides of the intakes.
Don’t use past in your sentence, it’s still the same poor mashup while we’re speaking

it still isnt a copy paste
the mig-29s would have been a 9.13 with r-77s no changes to the 3d model needed
for the 30mk2 they have to create a new 3d model and a new cockpit
yea i get what u mean but lets see what they do.
How many thousands do you wanna bet that they will? It’s gonna be fun
But China is not the only nation who operate them…
Yep but they still do and are the original buyer, so it’ll be fun to see them not get it
Also Russia could’ve gotten the M2 that they themselves operate instead
It would be the best punch line ever after drama with VT4

I mean yeah but it’s gonna be a very mid plane so no one is gonna care, what would make them freak out would be not getting the Su-35S for example
