No it won’t, reporting name has nothing to do with aircraft actual designation. It’s just an “official nickname” for the sake of convenience
I mean get real, it doesn’t even look like a Flanker.
Even the thing it’s based off, the Su-27IB doesn’t look like a Flanker.
Spoiler
at least at that angle it almost looks… normal.
head on that thing is the ugliest bastard

It’s the Ugly Duckling.
The Su-34 is just it after hitting puberty.

What can I say, yanks have sight issues (and memory issues, calling 69420 different versions of Sukhoi peak just a Flanker, or having dozens of M1 equipment)

The funniest part of this back and forth is that the Su-34 is included in the title of the thread specifically for Russian Flankers.

The radar and IRST screens are pretty nice, like the mini jet silhouette that pops up on modern ESA now
Also the zoom ability, helps if there’s bunch of targets cluttered

Anyone tried the new TVC switch btw?
I was wondering if that copletely turns off the automatic tilt of the nozzles when you fly with the AOA limiter ON
I tried. With TVC on and AOA Limiter on you will get tilt during roll or initial stage of a turn like on live. With TVC on and AOA off you will get same result as disabling AOA limiter on live. With TVC off you just become a regular flanker with canards with and without AOA limiter.

Hmm that’s interesting, that could be somewhat useful to not bleed all the speed instantaneously, and maybe last a little longer in turn fights.
Probably will be most useful on Su-35 because it won’t have canrds that make you bleed a lot fo speed regardless of TVC.

TVC isn’t all that useful right now, because current IR missiles can be decoyed pretty easily in a dogfight. But maybe in the future if they get better IRCCM the extra AOA will help with HOBS shots.
True, at least the canards on the Su30sm/sm2 don’t seem to tilt as much as they do on the Su33 or 34, but that’s just visually, the datamine numbers might as well be the same, and therefore the bleed rate would be the same.
