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

More nations that have similar systems makes it balanced

You know this won’t make any difference to those who play on the USSR, right?

I mean, I think gaijin has made it clear “historical” loadouts don’t much matter in the face of balance and the sort nowadays…

Ngl, I don’t see why so many act shocked that MKM got 38Ms…

i think they are mainly shocked that they got su30mkm in the first place. im fine with kh38s. but now both F2 & su30mkm will bully su30sm in sim. they mostly pissed cus they didnt add a new jet for russia to counter the new eft,j10c,gripen e. i dont know why they are refusing to add the su35/f15ex at this point , both of them will probably end up being inferior to the current additions.

I notice something unique for Su-30MKM, is this supposed to be MAW? If so, this would make Su-30MKM legit better than Su-30SM lmao.

EDIT: Yes, it’s a MAW, I noticed that there’s MAW in the statscard.

Yup, with literally the same loadout (including double pylon that people are allergic to) but with additional MAW and LWS Su-30MKM is indeed a straight upgrade over Su-30SM

I guess more modernized Flanker will coming soon in Q1 2026 update for Russia. Russia still lacks aircraft with MAW in Top Tier. Although one can say that too for US.

US RWR at least has better cover angles. Gaijin also can do a funny and give US Su-35 from Iran because Iranian Tomcat is already in this TT

Tbf I don’t think they will do, F-14 Iran was in US becuase Iran doesn’t necessarily have to be in Soviet side and F-14 is US most “Flagship” aircraft. Like, there’s Australian Abrams in the US and Australian Hornet in the UK. I don’t think Iranian Su-35 would make a way to US Tech Tree, because in the end it’s Russian Vehicle.

Maybe they wont, but this will be icredibly hilarious because Russia air can’t catch a W. Like, first ever actually competitive top tier aircraft Russia got is Su-30SM and we had it for 2 updates before Japan literally got a better version.
Actually scratch that, as the biggest screw you gaijin shoud give China Su-35 before Russia, and when Russia gets in an update later it will be IRANIAN Su-35 instead of domestic Su-35S

The F-15JM came the very same update the F-15C was added lol.

if Iran ever actually gets their Su-35s… That they’ve supposedly ordered TWICE now…

We would fight in su30sm vs f35, and still get Russian bias guys

Photos of Su-35 airframes unloaded in Iran were shown in public…

at the time AAM-4 was just marginally better than AMRAAM. Now, after AIM-120 nerfs JM is indeed a better version of F-15C.

exactly. both su-35s and f-15ex will be inferior to the EF-2000 and Rafaele (especially Rafaele)
there was no reason not to add it now, but we have, what we have.
