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

i know, what i am saying is:

  • i think its a mka flanker

  • i asked if the su30 export ever had a fuel tank

  • its maybe a local upgraded

  • its algerian because they the only one that have both su24 and soon su34 fuel tanks ( maybe part are already in algerian for future su34)

  • and only the su30mka got a dark belly camo unlike all other flankers.

It’s quite obviously not an MKA though? no MKA or Su-30 for that matter in existence has a long tail like that?

I believe I stand corrected on this part after a bit of looking, seems like only the centerline tank for Su-24M is for 2000s, whateva.

And no, no Su-30s have ever been given drop tanks on export or in RuAF service.

It’s always gonna hold a place in my heart, since the Su-30SM is what really got me into planes years ago, but I’m probably never gonna touch it again.

If they raise the max br it’s gonna be good to play, but the SM2 is just straight up goated at the same br.

14.7/15.0 when…

There’s no way the new jets will be 14.3 max, it would be absolutely ridiculous considering how much better some of them are

I’d still probably play the SM2 more, my main complaint with the SM was the engines. The AL-41s are a big upgrade.

Hope for a surprise tomorrow when update drops, but if they don’t it’s ridiculous.

AL-31FPs finally getting to rest after dragging that heavy airframe through it all

Cool one yeah, maybe in a few months from now.

If I’m not mistaken the GE ones for now are the Belarus and Tricolor one.

And yet they’re still doing it irl…

Btw, is the J-11 report gonna impact the whole Flanker family if corrected? Or just the J-11.

Excuse my ignorance.

Yeah it will. J11/su27sk is actually heavier than the normal su-27s by around 500 kg, so if j11 gets buffed, its gonna buff the su27s even more

Eject it straight into the plane on your six. Kinda like how some lizards drop their tail off when under stress.
