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

Last I heard the Kh-38MT, the ones with the thermal sights, are fake.

In game they have Gen 3 thermals, that must be based on reality?

Biggest issue none Russian players have is it isn’t just isolated incidents it’s everything Russia has at the higher tiers.

Su-30SM2 with IRBIS is just another example of blatant Russian favouritism.

what ?? oh dont be stupid. usa tree has been the favorite child for years now.

And Eurofighter with Fake AESA radar its BLATANT RUSSIAN FAVOURTISM. Su-35s not in game must also be that.

Holy Cope.

Edit: For me; Remove Su-30sm2, But also remove Fake Eurofighters. Give Su-35s instead.

Radar is real it is flying it is being evaluated and CAPTOR-E is operated by other nations.
You literally have the Su-35 now you don’t have MAWS and the airframe will marginally lighter.

Fake Eurofighter, brother you are using missiles that exist as mockups. You are using LMURS when only 4 can be carried by anything other than the Ka-52M you have a BUK system using a missile that has never existed in that format and was designed for surface ships.

Test flying on an Airliner. Its not the same as in the Eurofighter. ECRS mk0 must be some really bad radar that its why what they are upgrading it to MK1 and MK2. Mk1 its not ready for the next 2 year. Mk2 maybe never.

Fake ass Radar. That shouldn’t be in game. You got AESA out of pity. And still come here crying Russian Bias. With what face.

Not recently Russia in ground battles has constantly been given amazing tools. Which is why the win rate is so high. When I say favouritism I mean IRBIS was added and is automatically the best Radar in game.
Yet head to head with Captor, APG-81 on paper it is not. Better in places sure, but not better across the board.

We are denied systems because they would be game breaking (Typhoon has a MAWS and a DASS system) DASS has protected me from a missile…0 times in the game

It’s flying in a jet and Mk1 will be in service with Germany this year…How many Su-30SM2 are flying with IRBIS?

We received an AESA because Gaijin wouldn’t fix Captor-M

The radar is installed on Eurofighter FGR4 with tail number ZK335

Mk0 is installed on Qatar eurofighters and in service
Mk1 is for Germany and Spain
Mk2 is for Italy and Britain

Mk0 was made for export nations and is in use

Mk1 is a German devolpment and will be in service next year

Mk2 will be in service in 2-3 years and has already been flying on Eurofighters pictured above

To call the radar bad because they keep upgrading it is silly as that is the case for every radar

No its not. And the radar that was tested on UK was Mk0 for Qatar.

they added the test bed su30sm2, not the actual one in service, plus sont expect to keep the su30sm with the current new planes. and adding the su35 would break the game.

No it was mk2

we dont even know, maybe the current sm2 are with ibris, maybe some are upgraded bars other are ibris. maybe there was shortage of ibris radar for the sm2 project as the su35 has been the top fighter seller in the russian export.

yes the ibris was intended for su30sm2 but due to the huge su35 orders, they limited some to just upgraded bars

Su-35 wont change the meta unless it gets access to tools other nations don’t
Gaijin do not model RAM coating so that makes no difference to how easy it is to find
They do not model suspended ordinance drag in the real world not having recessed weapons adds to a lot of drag (reason NATO use ejector pylons)
We don’t have ECM/EW and we don’t have TRDs modelled.

While R-37M and R-77M are impressive so are Aim120D/Aim260 and Meteor it is still a 70s legacy design and now gaijin have pretty much added it in all but name.

I just wish they’d model Su-30SM2 properly… no AL-41F-1S and N011M-R instead of N035. :(

You would think the 35 would take priority with the role it performs in Russian security.

Again I have no issue with IRBIS being added and the engines my issue is Gaijin using the marketing lie for Captor mk 1 and 2

Maybe you get an Early/Late

Maybe that’s your tier 8 premium?

Won’t be getting another one for long is my guess.

France is missing one.

And other nations could get better options to be fair.
