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

Probably has best RWR

So, at best (and if gaijin is willing to go into a bit of fiction) we are getting Irbis, AL-41F1S and 28 more flares.
At worst - 28 more flares, more range on radar (useless) and a bit more thrust.

A bug report for Al-41s were accepted, but the SM2 never used Irbis nor was it planned to.

So it looks like we’re getting:
AL-41s, 28 more flares, and (should) get an upgraded Bars.

It’ pretty good after all, much better thrust will help with this fatty

14, iirc?

Close, it gets 2 new dispensers, each dispenser carries 14 countermeasures.

It’ll be a welcome upgrade. It’ll also ensure Russia stays having the best Su-30 this update.

It would be nice to have MAW and LWS but ye more powerfull engines are more tempting

Got my current favorite Su-30SM skin ported over to the SM2.

And a link to the original, incase anyone is interested.

Two additional ones from the bottom and one from the top were removed. 14+14-14=14

I’ve always found those to be kind of annoying, but I can see why people like them.

And yeah, but then it’ll be a tradeoff between the MKM (MAWS, Al-31) and the SM2 (No MAWS, Al-41)

Huh, well, alright then.

At least it’s more than 100 CMs at last.

102 acfuali 🤓

The SM2 will be the first one to have more than 100, right?- Since the other Flankers have 96 and 98-

background is blurred, but if this is a SM2 assembly line (considering that documentary is about SM2) then this might be that “upgraded Bars”

Goddamit, so it is 420k RP for 14 flares then. And maybe new engines.

Well we know that it has dual pulse motor. And maybe dual mode seeker. But yeah, wanting even R-37M is a stretch
