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

It will have more drag and less lift than Su-30SM because Russian bias

I just want it because it’s iconic, I know it most likely is a suffer machine, I’ll have fun in the test drive lmao.

Let’s be real here, if they had it planned it would have been on the list, but I’d be happy to be proven wrong.

He’s from the future, he have seen Su-75 in combat and Russian Ministry of Defence have ordered another batch of Su-35SM as the stopgap.

/s

Thank you, gonna watch those later.

Well how many missiles can J-10C carry ? If it only 4 then it could explain if they adding it only to J-10C.

Yeah but both terminator and mig-25 has been predicted so many times it makes prediction by it self unreliable.

Broken watch is correct twice per day…

6 or 8

Too little, Need J-15T.

It will have the same amount of ARH

45 CMs

If it will not have something like Fakour or MICA seeker it won’t matter a lot.

It have AESA seeker, so.

Doesn’t mean it will be modelled correctly tho

Oh well not the first time things getting funny

I agree, but I still maintain that the vectorization in War Thunder is complete garbage, totally poorly done. I wonder how the devs think this is useful.

This video of LongShot in a dogfight in Su30 shows the vectoring working as it should, and this isn’t an official game mod. There are several videos of the flankers in DCS by LongShot Growlingsidewinder, and you can see the big difference between FM there and here. I watch them occasionally, and when I go back to War Thunder I get quite discouraged. Honestly, I only don’t play DCS because my PC can’t handle it, but when I make some improvements I’ll definitely leave War Thunder.

Game engine designed for WW2 prop fighters struggles with supermanevuerable jet airframes with TVC engines, totally unexpected. I think you also expect from WT something that it never aimed to be, it is still a session based simcade with realistic elements designed around head to head combat. It is not a full fledged simulator with detailed flight models, even in sim game mode. Sure current Flanker FM sucks and TVC is broken, but i doubt it will ever be fixed.

Impossible, as it has 70 degrees azimuth, which not even irbis achieves through only electronic beam steering. Considering that its elevation is locked at 45 degrees as well, it’s irlit had 45 degrees beam steering and then 30 degrees mechanically. (In game it’s models like it has ±70 degrees beam steering which is wrong)
Also what are you referring to by modeling issue
