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

i think it would just add more time wasted as you will need to take decisions and talk to your weapons managment guy but where alone it will be more faster

We’ll see

wdym we’ll see, your about to launch a war ?

i mean hes talking about the future lol

I was, but the implication I’m about to start a war to win a war thunder argument is too funny

what about the B-21. recently there have been talks of assisted flying so its fully controlled by 1 pilot and the other guy is WSO instead of a copilot like other previous bombers

B21 Is way too secretive of a aircraft, what we know is that its smaller than B2 but allegedly can do alot more than bomb. That’s it there has been speculation about pseudo fighter capability but that’s it.

They weight more than a late war B-17 Bomber

where is the hit at “200 km” from ? nothing has been confirmed the truth could be anywhere from 100-200km.

First few matches after the vapor contrail alt got increased, you can be very sneaky since you aren’t spotted by your contrail and you got a good radar to spot others. Also the average speed at those alts is around 1700kmh and it gives quite a lot of boost to the 77-'1s.

Imagine Su-30sm with 16tons engine.

hoping for a export r77m mention

Ain’t gonna happen methinks. Russia just started using them on their own aircrafts, selling it outside, even as reduced performance version wouldn’t be a smart choice. Although if that Su-57 loadout picture is correct - it is the only A2A missile that can fit in weapons bay.

Airflow…

made a report on r-77 lacking maneuverability

Probably a no factor. Intakes of Su-30 and Su-35 don’t have noticeable difference in scale, despite having significant difference in engine thrust values. And on high speeds you are trying to actually reduce the airflow, not increase it.

There are dozen versions of L-150 exist. With different frequency and elevation coverage.

This one doesn’t say anything about different elevation coverage tho, only about different versions.

Different elevation is different in specific plane sources. IIRC Ralin has posted sources about Su-25SM3 has much better elevation coverage than other ones.
