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

the fact that the ITR which is the Sukhoi signature is underperfoming is wild

Is the Christmas one for the 20000kg for the su27sk manual or the 18900 kg of the prototype

Can’t wait for gaijin to remember it’s over performing and nerf it and make be like the fulcrum tier of flight models

Christmas buff is the current FM loaded to 20,000kg.

so, it overperformed even before it got buffed?

Tune it down to the level of everything else, SM2 accelerates fast enough and can be at 1800kmh the entire match.

IMO every Jet should spawn at 500-600kmh.

The F-18s/Flankers spawning at Mach 1.2 isn’t fair to the J-10, JF-17, or EFT that spawn below Mach 1 or slower. Then you have the F-111/Su-24 spawning at 600kmh for some reason.

these ones have sweep wing, fine
ig they might break if you will spawn them at higher speed

Are you talking about when a Rafale started behind a Raptor and shot it down during an exercise?

Key Term: STARTED BEHIND.

But the Tornados or Mig-23s spawn above/near Mach 1. The F-111 does have wing sweep limitations with certain bombs, but AFAIK none exist for the Su-24.

An equal spawn speed for all planes will eliminate this discrepancy, and would make everything more fair.

I remember this.
How ironic.

This is actually a myth alongside the one that also started about how the F-22 had drop tanks. The F-22 and the Rafale started side by side facing the same direction and the F-22 didn’t have fuel tanks. You don’t have to take my word for it either, there’s a former US F-16 and former US F-18 pilots who analyzed the video and broke it down for their viewers and they arrived at that conclusion.

It’s been overperforming since December last year

They merged there is a video breaking it down.
However I wasnt there the point is a Rafale being able to stay saddled on an F-22 shows how agile and capable the airframe is. This is also real footage not just consulting charts.

If only it were applicable to Su-30SM, there’s probably something else out there about whatever it’s IRST is called (I’m far too lazy to check)

if it doesn’t apply to su-30sm, it would at least apply to su-30mkm

Idr but does MKM have an LD built in, in game I mean.

nah (it should tho)

Ic ic.
