Yea i have hear that Su-35s have bigger wing. Turns out its was just Khibiny pods.
Ye most likely KnAAPO on their old brochures counted Khibinyy pods to overall wing span. It was 15.3m

This is one of the main reason. People thought that Bigger wing = bigger space between engine. So that was the Reason for Double pylon. When IRL The wingspan its the same. And the space between engine its also the same. The only difference i notice its that on Su-35s the engine its slightly tilted outward.
In the report that was accepted the Pylon are also Tilted outward compare to the in game that is straight. But that its not indicative that the Su-30sm couldn’t use them.
I’m totally okay with gaijin remove them. I was even against R-77-1. And i would love to see Su-35s. Its not that i don’t like the Su-30sm. But its was FAT and Slow. for the current meta of the game (Right now is Okayish). I’m also against gaijin add Su-35s with thing like F-15EX, Eurofighter with AESA etc. But how thing are going that will be the case.

The manufacturer of the dual pylons cite Su-30 and Su-35 as two of the platforms.
I forgot to save that cause I was on my laptop instead of my desktop when I saw it.
It’s the same distance as between Su-35’s intakes. Su-34 is the only complete redesign of the Flanker, which is one of the reasons it’s not called a Flanker.
This is also the case on standard Su-27s. It’s likely for improved stability.

It’s pretty hilarious that NATO still gave it a reporting name that starts with “F”. Sure it’s a fighter-bomber, but in Russian classification pretty much everything is a fighter-bomber or fighter-interceptor nowadays.

If they call an su-24/17/22/20/7 a fighter then an su-34 is more than enough to also be considered one
Oh yeah, i totally forgror about even more hilarious “Fencer” and “Fitter”

Entirety of NATO trembles in fear. I mean, Su-39 can carry grand total of 20 missiles that can attack aerial targets, no fighter jet can come even close.

Radar change feels nice, HMD is almost insta lock in most cases, hope it doesn’t come with bugs on live tho.
To be fair Su-39 can be outfitted with R-27 or R-77, just need a radar pod
My “favourite” time was a bug when Bars randomly locked whatever it felt to when you tried to switch between ACM and HMS modes. Made close combat with Su-30SM almost impossible.
HMD lock auto switching from IR to PD is by far the best bug they cooked for radars

And gaijin going schizo between allowing you to fire Fox-3s with IR lock and then removing it, and then adding it again and then removing it again…

Funny cause both the Eurofighter and Su-30 can do that IRL, but they were like: “Nah let them have the annoying bug again”…
They should have just left it as it was :/
could you please post an image of the Su-30SM or Su-27SM carrying the double pylon? Not going to read all this nonsense until you post it, thanks

It’s time for algerian subtree for 🇫🇷.
Yeah France desperately needs the Su35 ngl
No, it wouldn’t make sense and it’s also highly disrespectful.
Would be like adding Korea to Japan or Vietnam to France.
