What ? there is only the su30mk for the russian and its just a demo for export.
India had some in the late 90s/ early 2000s before the MKIs came in
It was tested a year ago

The SM we have in game is basically an SM3. 12 missiles and the upgraded engines.
Only difference is that the 2 extra missiles in game are on dual pylons instead of on on the wing.

It’s honestly disgraceful with the current prices. The fact they think/might price a single vehicle that high is disgusting. It’s funny really there are people who play this game that complain about triple AAA games costing to much but those same people will drop £65 on a single item in a free to play game 💀 yes there both expensive but essentially £65 for a micro transaction 🤢 so the thought of a tier 8 SU or MIG genuinely kills my soul I member when I started playing this game in 2013 everything was so much more chill

Yes they are the same but it got a extra pylon and r77-1 with the same radar but upgraded with extra DL
Dude no one force you to buy it, compare to other games. War thunder is a lot cheaper. That said if you spend money.
Its a option.

Bigger the tree goes the more the need to grind the longer it takes. The more the temptation to buy premium vehicles :(
Besides the lacking 2 extra wing pylons, the cockpit would be rather different, it’d also get access to R-77-1s technically, and of course there’d be a bit of weight added on compared to the regular SM.
No. IRBIS was tested on a Su-30mk but that was in 2008 or smh. But it wasn’t the same IRBIS as Su-35s. It have less powerful T/M. Because that jet don’t have AL-41f1. And these two are use together to generate the power for IRBIS. In some video going around of that test its detected something at 250ish km. While IRBIS is suppose to have 400km detection range in the “long range” mode.
The Idea behind Su-30sm2 its for it to use stuff from Su-35s. But because the current conflict the early variant of the Su-30sm2 don’t have them. And are rolled out with more “advance” ground target capability’s.
We know this because a video/Interview that its from last year around this time. That talk about it and that the Su-30sm2 its being going test with the new equipment. But that the early one don’t have it because the test hasn’t finish. Its was actually quite fun. Because the guy doing the interview (same as the old Combat Approved videos) was really Hype about Su-30sm2 getting new stuff. But the Chief of factory(?) give him bad news and the face on the guy was priceless.
So the idea its for the Su-30sm2 to use IRBIS and AL-41f1s. And that hasn’t change. In a year the test must have be ended. Its not like these are new radar or engine. And its have mostly to do with if the airframe can tolerated the heat of AL-41f1. Su-35s use titanium for that. Well and that Al-41f1 its a little bigger.
The video; minute 12 they talk about it. Couldn’t fine a better version.

Soviets get a good radar and it’s blatant favoritism.

i can say AESA EFT is another example of blatant european favouritism how can they add a much more modern gripen E/EFT when they didnt even add the su35 from late/early 2010s ? clearly european bias. infact they should have added the su35 along with the rafale. (same for F15EX)

Game has to have some semblance of balance.
Or do you just want to farm Tornados and Phantoms in MiG 29s?
Its how the Radar is implemented

Yes complicated to stretch a Su-27 model.
sorry to break it to u bud but even su35 uses ram coating. gl thinking gaijin will be able to model RAM in a realistic manner without sekrit documents , it may not be as effective as the EFT but still.
