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

They don’t have Su-35S, their variant is called Su-35 or Su-35SE. S in only operated by VKS

export Su-35S is just Su-35

Venezuelan one can carry Chinese missiles, maybe that’s why? Or just because Gaijin loves to give stuff from different countries as a premiums? We already have 2 Su-25s from different countries and an Su-22M3


Ok, Gaijin, where is my tactical plushie!? It’s definitely standard-issue 100%

I know but it’s the exact same plane
I’m used to saying Su-35S to avoid confusion with the Su-27M since some people freak out when you don’t

Ah alright didn’t know it was that different, in my defense not a single source I ever found mentioned differences with the 35S

am i dumbt or are most of these just from having slightly different angle, pylons off and the lights off lmao.

Minor or slighly differences in sensors and thats it imo

So Su-30MK2 will be just glorified MiG-29 Sniper?

Nah, its more interesting to branch out to other nations for premiums like this

First Venezuela vehicle ingame I believe

Why not? A Venezuelan MK2 is more interesting, unique camos and roundels, first vehicle from Venezuela

The Su-30M2 can still be added in the future as a tech/event/premium/squadron

LWS sensors are missing in the chinese version.

My copium take is that since it was just made as a trainer, it would worse avionics. Somehow

M2 has same avionics as 27SM or MK2. Ir’s one of the reasons why they are used as trainers for 27SM.

Nothing stops gaijin from adding camos and roundels from another countries, and they did so for pretty much every single top tier Russia jet. All flankers apart from Su-33 have unlockable or purchasable camos from other countries. In terms of uniqueness, i heard that Venezuella tweaked their Su-30s to be compatible with Chinese missiles, but that’s about it in terms of uniqueness.

And nothing stops them from adding the aircraft themselves instead. Its cool having a wider variety of nations represented ingame

Some players made a map of every nation in War Thunder, camos don’t really count for it

That’s not how game development works.
Even IF it was copy paste:
1- Pay for research.
2- Pay for 3D modeler[s].
3- Pay for skin artist[s].

Of course, it’s not copy-paste, so the 3D modelers cost a bit more, but research and skin artists cost the same or more whether it’s copy-paste or not.

And somehow they still don’t get the flankers right

Clearly once we get the su35 we will be able to perform this manouver without losing altitude
