SM2 can maintain 9G turn at Mach 1.4 at 9km?
No.
It did on last dev, nothing was changed so far.
And well, even F-15E cant do that now
Gotta try it out, i am quite skeptical about this.
It’ll pull like 13G instantaneous at 1.4 mach @ 9km, then drop to 9-8G and start losing speed pretty fast (in a flat turn, no weapons, and min fuel)
At 2.5km it’ll pull 11G at mach 1.4 and it can sustain that speed pretty well, so that’s impressive.
F-15E could MAINTAIN 9G turn without loosing speed at around mach 1.4 at high altitude
Yeah, and the SM2 can’t.-
yeah, that’s why i said i am skeptical that it has F-15E on release performance, that thing was an absolute space shuttle literally uncounterable by anything other than another F-15E
Yeah, and that’s why I agreed with you.-

Only photo i could find of AL-31FP and AL-41F-1S together for comparison. Barely any noticeable difference visually, aside from pointy cover on the intake
It’s so nice to finally have a meta plane with decent TTW again.
su-30sm was pretty good on release, def not the eurodeltas but best of the rest
The Su-30SM is still good, I just HATE the Thrust To Weight.
It was all hands no legs. But yeah, R-77-1 carried that thing HARD.
radar was pretty good
i was born with N001, raised by it, molded by it. Bars was good, and welcome, but it didn’t impact me as much.
tuff or smtn
