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

knowing it has a dual pulse motor is just slightly more useful than knowing it can fly, its just a design choice which suggest very long range. i think r37m is more probable in the future as its not a particularly special missile

US has nothing to counter r-37m though maybe the telephone pole size aim-174 missile but for f-18 only.
I think we can give russia novator missile first maybe next year

Well, speed up to Mach 6 is quite “special” imo. Sure it will pull like 20-25Gs at best, but with speed like this and big warhead it might be even harder to deal with than a Fakour

aim174b is slower but it outranges it, its fairly balanced imo, all things considered these missile need a reword of fox 3 gameplay as right now bvr is still a meme

agreed, I think there too many player, map is too small to defend properly

its so obvious that map are too small when you play sim, its why i dont enjoy the mode, its just massive furballs.
you kill a dude and in a few minutes hes back shooting at you. just boring

BVVD wants quicker matches, even in sim apparently

Gaijin(and by extension bvvd) is still under the absurd delusion that war thunder can ever be a esport, it will never, it sucks as a spectator and its way too inconsistent and janky for a comp player.

I mean… we just got/about to get Super Hornet and Su-30SM2, the confirmed carrier of R-37M with PL-15 was “guessed” prior (even if not confirmed/included for the next update).
Call me a conspiracy theorist, but it doesnt look like a coincidence

Europe gonna get cucked? We could get Meteor ofc, but in WT meta this thing might be absolute garbage

That else they can or could get anyway?

Hmmm, MICA-NG? But i think it is still in development.

Most likely new engines. A bug report was accepted for the SM2 to get AL-41s.

Then we will get new engines… after 2-3 major updates

more like 5-6, gotta let the 5th gens come out first.

i still kinda want the only difference between SM2 and SM on release to just be 14 more flares. Just for it to be the biggest prank gaijin ever pulled on Russian mains in history of War Thunder since MIG-23M without flares and with a flight model of a WW2 bomber VS F-4E and F-5C spam

I think you mean giving the Su-27 the flight performance of the T-10 and not fixing it for nearly a year.

Nah, this is not near as bad as having old not mixed lobbies where your top tier is MiG-23M while US has 2 of the most dominating aircrafts at that time.
Thankfully i wasn’t present during that time, but some people still have PTSD from those few months before MLD and R-60M was added

And then… A few months later…

you don’t understand, i can’t get 6 guaranteed kills with Phoenix spam, this means F-14A was bad
