That’s not how you spell “remake the entire model from scratch and get it right this time”

That would be great, even tho I doubt they’d do that. Pretty clear that the Su-30 is a mishmash of previous flankers models, but at least it would be nice to see some proportions and minor fuselage bugs get fixed.

The pylons, the irst, the proportions, the canards, etc… there’s so many inaccuracies in the model even I would’ve done better
Let’s not forget the flight model

How could one forget the most important thing
*A bad mishmash of previous flanker models
If it was any “good” they wouldn’t screw up wing root (which looks nice and clean on other canarded Flankers, like Su-33)

I don’t know quite what’s wrong with it.
But it just doesn’t feel right.
It’s like an F-4C but it can do a cobra.
Still it’s a heavy boi, so the fact it feels a bit like a brick can be understandable.
Yet Su-33 doesn’t compress so it’s weird
Too much drag, not enough lift
Those are the main problem with it.

So like every other flanker…
I mean yeah the 30SM is a H E A V Y boi, but still, those wings, canards, and every other maneuvering bit is MASSIVE, so I’m surprised it’s so sluggish. Not to mention the modern FBW.
Plus they got the ingame model wrong, so I’m not surprised if the flight model is screwed up too.
Yea the fm is basically the same for every flanker, only thing that varies is the weight and thrust
The Su-35 has MAWS correct? If so where are the sensors for it?
Is the missile detection range known? Like at which distance it will start to warn about a launch.
Here’s what I found, Not sure how accurate it is since it was left in the comments of the article:
“has 4 SOAR /IR MAWS modules and 2 LWD SOLO modules. SOAR detectors can detect incoming SAM/bigger A2A missile from 50kms,smaller A2A from 30kms and MANPADS missile from 10kms. SOLO detector can register laser beam sent from 30kms. All modules are for full spherical coverage.”

I was trying to find some info on it in my su35 book, but the best I could find is just a mention of it in the overall explanation of the ECM modules, sadly no specific data.

I mean tbf with how new the Su-35S is it’s probably classified or something of the sort.
