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

Sitcom watcher memory level. Don’t remember what happened “past season” so whatever goes right now is how it always was.

Gaijin will act according to “player performace” as per usual. And because AIM-120 is widespread between all sorts of platforms - there won’t be any changes to it most likely. Unless gaijin will rework loadouts of like 75% of Fox-3 slingers in the game. Even if half of the US mains population will hop into F-15E and throw game after game to tank its statistics - it will get br decrease at best, not armament changes

finding out this place has bad managers is like finding out waters wet, I actually know one of them in real life and honestly a guy like him has no business being employed anywhere

Yeah this thing stays at like 1800kmh for the entire match haha, unless you need to heavily notch.

on devserver su-30sm2 was actually accelerating faster than su-35 at normal weight, though since they increased drag when it came to live server, idk if it still beats su-35 or not. normal fuel is 50%, so half of normal would be 25%

well, you will probably can reach 2.35 in War Thunder still

oh yea, 1.1 multiplier lol

almost Mach 2.5 with the multiplier

yeah. though it should still be limited to 2400 kph anyways

Aint going to do those speeds with the payload it carries.

No Russian VKS/VVS jet operates with 14 missiles so the top speed stats for the airframe will not be 14 missiles mach 2.25.

IRL? yeah, even the su-27 should be limited to sub mach 1 with full missile loadout at sea level.
But gaijin doesnt model this kind of stuff

Physics, fuel burn all say it’s not possible. Su-30/35 has limited to no super cruise capability so you are in burner the whole time. You then have the drag from the suspended payload.

Yes in War Thunder it will achieve ridiculous performance but IRL it is not possible unless you just plan to climb to 45kft and sit in burner run out of fuel and RTB

What’s the moon runes say?

basically its saying which loadouts implement what speed limit.

Should be 1.05, if gaijin treated it same as rest of planes
