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

I thought most SM2 also had uprated AL-31s, no?

Yeah Super hornet on paper brings more, but it’s just not really worth using compared to already existing options from what I’ve heard, and SM2 brings more smaller changes instead of a couple larger ones

More flares
More detection range
New RWR (I think, swore I heard smth about it using L-150-35 but maybe i’m tweakin)
New HUD
The possibility of longer range AAMs (if F/A-18E got them at least)

Either way I think 30SM2 really only could’ve came with 18E, nothing really else to add it in with.

SM2s just use AL-31FPs, same as 30SMs.

Yeah they’re still FPs, but I thought in that MOD documentary they mentioned uprated engines.

Not new ones, just uprated (I guess they just spin faster?)

It shouldve got a bit more coverage, but seems like gaijin are lazy

Probably run hotter, who knows

Gaijin? Lazy? Nooooooooo, they’d never

in any case at least one SM2 got Al-41s, so gaijin can slap AL-41 on all of 'em.

When? I’ve never heard of even one getting them? nor have I seen either.

sure, if you want to play legacy hornet at 14.3 and potentially face 15.0 5th gets without limit of 4 per team

We dont know if it was SM2 or flying laboratory

I believe it was a while ago, just to see if it’d fit.

I’d rather have the FM of a Late Legacy-C and the radar of an E, than an E.

Wow man, that match was crazy, how many enemies were left? They kept seeing more and more.

Was there any pics or vids of it? or just some mention in an interview type thing?

That last kill was impressive- with the 77-1 lofting like crazy.

Only 6 chaff left to dodge he’s PL12

I think it was the guy who hit me in the start of the game. Bro got in my RWR blind spot and spooked tf out of me.

Does legacy hornet still have “channel gain” instead of “channel loss” in the game?
