I just realized, if you look near the bottom of the radome…

Kinda looks like they forgot to reshade a bit of the SM2.

This was done in a rush; even in school I never left everything until the last minute.

Rare moment of TVC working as it should
(It’s a miracle my plane didn’t turn into a brick and get stuck in mid-air as if it didn’t want to go where the thrust was sending it.)

Simply beautiful.

TVC will certainly be more interesting on a plane with a more favourable TWR

Yes, but even though the Su-30SM is almost the size of a B-17, we know it performs very well with TVC have several videos, like in airshow videos. In War Thunder, the closest it came to reality was on the DEV server when it was released, albeit with some changes. It should help in War Thunder; you would lose energy and speed while using it, but it should help in some situations and not leave your plane stiff in the air. It’s poorly modeled, and the plane seems to simply fight against the direction the engine nose is pointing.

Maybe it’ll look good from his point of view too :D, that first shot of mine was awful, every time there’s a DEV server I play very little, I spend most days on the DEV server.

Not sure TVC would allow you to climb like that, you are still a heavy underpowered Su-30.
the flip around 100% but the cheesy tail side while combat loaded…Not buying it chief

I was already out of missiles and low on fuel; that match had been a big one, both the enemy team and mine had played very well.
As far as I remember, the replay isn’t from today; I had 4 minutes of fuel left, I usually take 35 minutes on all the flankers, meaning I was much lighter.

Lol, with that much desync you could fit another Eurofighter between him and the bullet stream, gotta love the Snail’s servers.

Regardless, that was a great bit of gunnery.

its was on the replay.
replay are not 100% good. stop complaining.

su30sm2 dosent have maws the most notable and easiest to spot naw sensor on the su35 is the one in front of the cockpit next to the irst

the su30sm2 dosent have those sensors

The SM2 has upgraded RWR right? I read somewhere that it got the RWR from the Su-35, but that source also said it got Ibris and AL-41, so I’m not sure.

Irbis, no, or maybe it’s planned for the future, but it has a better N011M. The AL41, besides what they say they’ll implement as it works on the platform, and it might have R37M, we’ll probably have it with improved AL41 bars and a better RWR, I think.

IRL I know it has R-37M, And I know it has an improved Bars and Uprated AL-31FPs. But I’m just interested in the RWR it has now.
