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

Yeah lol, gotta say that the canopy shade they used is cool tho, looks purple-ish.

Has the thrust of the Su-30SM2 been nerfed? Or is it the same as before?

The overall thrust was buffed but also increase in drag and nerfed the Thrust at low speed. Just gaijin thing to nerf the TVC shenanigans.

Instead of improving the TVC because of the power of the new engines, they go and try to limit it. Oh, Gaijin, come on

Now the plane can Float in the air at full throttle. But can’t gain speed when vertical.

And Su-35 and Su-30SM2 are gonna support Su-57s…

does anyone know if the su-30 family can carry fuel tanks ? if no, is it possible / easy to modify the airframe to implement the fuel tank.

just want to confirm some thing i am working on with someone

they cant

but Su-35 can

(Su-35 can’t either, it’s a literal marketing lie)

primary source says it can

so unless you have an unclassified flight manual for the Su-35 it is able to get them

Because there’s never EVER been a time where brochures were inaccurate or said false information (or in this case, incredibly outdated information to attract buyers)

I’d love to see this mystical Su-35 drop tank because surely there’s pictures of it irl.

(it’s kinda curious how that’s the only brochure that mentions drop tanks, at least to my knowledge)

War thunder is a game, what do you want gaijin to do? hire bunch of private investigator to go spies around military aircraft bases just so we can have “realistic gameplay” ? The best they can do is trust the brochure unless there a primary sources “manual” that can say otherwise.

Anyone that would like to assist in finally getting the lift issues sorted on the flanker, well here is your chance.

I thought they were straight up denying the SK manual as a source.

At least they were a while ago.

I’m saying even the brochures are contradictory? So why would they trust it compared to any other brochure?

Especially since compared to other Su-35 brochures, it’s the minority when it comes to mentioning drop tanks…

Get down Mr. President, another bug report has hit the towers.

Won’t this get closed with the Su-27sk != Su27/J11 reasoning?

It’s even uglier than default single sit flanker…
