im going to assume that the software does not account for the benefits of thrust vectoring?

yeah, cause technically the su-30sm variants can have a min rad of sub 30m (by doing back flips/tail slides using tvc etc)

Datamine made mention of a switch button for tvc, maybe completely off?

Gaijin technically removed thrust vectoring outside of maneuver mode in this update, now nozzles are not engaged even at low speed, apart from split second during initial pull

@kizvy looked at F-15A vs Su-27 graphs? I didn’t check before, were they always this close at low speed?

Can’t test rn, how’s the SM2?

f-15a always kinda beat su-27 at all flight regimes due to its thrust, now idk what will win at low speed. I’ll wait for the dueling goat willie walrus to make his verdict

yeah, that one i remember all too well, but i think before F-15A also handily outturned Su-27 at almost every speed, at least from my experience.

15a still out turns except for very, very low speed (and very very high speed). Though f-15a has insane stall control

Somehow aircraft with mechanised wing and LERX has worse stall control than “muh dogtooth stabilisators”

what really disappoints me is that there are so many good camos to choose from, including a bunch of historical ones and yet they keep recycling the same old choices from the past

Im very late, but there is not a pattern, but a study (I know it says delta wing, but canards are also mentioned)
