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

Why tho?

It’s quite enjoyable at 13.0, sure it gets touched by the ARH Su-30’s, but it suffers them way less than some other jets.

Anyone tried TVC Flankers on current dev version? Statshark shows zero changes to the performance, but TVC controls feel… different. Can’t put a finger on it. Or maybe i am just coping

No BBC POCCИИ inscription included i don’t like it

I don’t like ahistorical camos in general (this one as well), sometimes they are good looking, but can’t beat a good old real paint scheme.

Same for me, and i don’t like this wolf in tail

Man I wish, a well made one that doesn’t look old

Seems like Su-30SM/2 now automatically deploys flaps and slats at low speed, at least in maneuver mode. And it feels more controllable in this mode as well

About base flankers, just got the J-11, gotta love the new reduced prices and Rp costs

Oh yeah, reduced cost is so good, my progress trough US tree significantly increased, especially considerning how consistent performance of many US Jets is. Flying F-4E right now and getting 2-3 kills even in constant uptiers to 12.0-12.3 is pretty easy

My F-4E magnum opus, i didn’t even had half of the performance upgrades and only basic 7Es

Love the fact that old Rank 8 jets are now 320k rp, 80k “discount” is almost 1/4 of what you needed before.

I feared that Rank 9 would only bring more and more to grind, but the change they made is just spot on.

dont forget to gamble the extra money you get.

these sweet 10 game 20% rp are good for grind. and also 300%

Undoubtedly a huge gaijin W, as rare as it happens

Exactly

I’ll boot up the dev to test this, got me curious.

I hope i’m not delusional about the behavior of TVC Flankers. Because i remember how they were doing on live and i struggled to do supermaneuverability tricks in some cases, something like this, for example.
awesome-dat-supermaneuverability
on Dev it is much easier in my experience
Or doing 360 degrees kulbit. Su-30SM could absolutely choke in a position with nose pointing down to the ground and struggle to complete the loop

It definitely feels like the rudder helps it close the spin while pulling this maneuver, it usually freezes in place.

yeah, it also can remain in a position parallel to the ground at super low speed without dipping its nose (while still slowly loosing altitude)

i feel like the tvc control in game are too agressive unlike irl.

and we dont have soft control ( maybe controller user do )

Try it right now on the dev. It’s still quite aggressive, but feels more controllable

also i wanna have a conversasion with you is it okay ? ( i wanna ask first bcz it might take a bit time )
