oh lmao (not close)
ahh okay good good xD
my favourite Ace Combat level FM in War Thunder
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)

it’s not surprising considering how insane the thrust of the f-15a is. that thing is one of the best if not the best in stall fights due to its controllability in em. Though the best dogfight fms can just avoid the stall fight entries
Yeah man I agree, no disrespect to the guy who made the camo, but he makes such cool ones that could have been chosen instead.
Look on the bright side tho, at least it’s not one of those anime wt live camos😅
Tremendous flanker buffs! Wish the J11B or J10C got a skin with the crate but whatever. The ‘same skin slightly different planes’ thing has been happening with all the Chinese flankers for some time haha! Low vis for the 11A and 11B
If yall are wondering where the buffs came from, here are the relevant pages from su-27sk manual.
Basically the amount of gs it could pull while in a dive was underperforming according to these charts.
