Yeah I was trying to tell them apart as well and came to the same conclusion.
I love how even the ID marks are identical, they just took the SM and lowered brightness
Su-35:

Su-30:

They’re correct in the fact that the serial ones haven’t been fitted with the 41F-1S yet, but the SM2 has been tested with those and they would give the plane an actual reason to exist in-game. So yes, but actually no
If that bug report got closed I doubt they are even considering it.
Just gonna be some copypaste slop like almost all the jets of this patch.
Yeah I honestly cannot tell if there is a difference. They don’t look exactly the same, but they do look extremely similar.
Does “subject to change” mean nothing to you?
It’s a placeholder.
Just gonna post this here rq to respond to someone on my bug report (phone I can’t copy and paste images on the community bug reporting site for some reason)
Nothing proves that they weren’t assembled with them.
The report management is so much of a joke that I don’t even consider any worthy of use for even guessing. They could add the 41 tomorrow or they could add it never
the Su-35 dosent have the peto-tube at the front of the radome to measure airspeed
the Su-35 radome also goes straight for longer until it starts goint together into a single point
because the IRBIS needs alot of space to be able to move around in there

for visualisation:
not to scale or anything, just so you get the idea
red - Su-35 and Blue Su-30

±65 degrees of mechanical movement needs lots of space lol
Tbh you can even see on pictures that the Su-35S has a bigger radome
I just need them to fix the speed of all flankers. They’re severely overperforming
Not even the bug report managers fault imo, to me the worse part is that the devs think that adding 3 copy paste Euros, a copypaste Rafale and 2 copypaste Su-30’s was the way to go for an interesting update.
In 2 weeks with all the hype gone down the drain these jets will be boring asf.
Props to the MiG-25 tho, the only original of the bunch.
Yeah I’m most excited for gripen e tbh
It’s the fault of both devs and bug report managers. They’re both doing a bad job. But that’s not really the matter here
At least that one is actually different from the C, so yeah, I hope they add it.
And it looks absolutely gorgeous
