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

It does, yeah

Not nearly as pretty as the F-15.

Doesn’t even compare to the beauty of the Su-27SM.

That Su35 camo is very nice, judging by how many are already available for the Su-27s I’m pretty confident the user made ones when the Su35 drops will be this good too.

It was the main camo I used for a while before swapping over to the 1988 Debut camo.

Here it is if you wanna take a look at it. The detailing on the elevators is super well done.

This skin is available on wt live and is very easy to adapt to the SM2. There’s a version for the Su34 as well.

Why Su30SM/2 and su34 didn’t get the kh-59?

bc gaijin dosent want to

they acted on the su24 report but not on the su30/34 one

Pretty low priority for a gimmick weapon

they added it for the Su-24

i made all reports on the same day
and they gave it only to the Su-24 because they dont want to give the Kh-59 to the Su-30SM and Su-34

One tech tree plane, because its almost 0 priority

Does anyone know why Su30SM uses N011R radar when it should have the N011M radar? And why is the N011M radar on the Su30MKM 90x80 when it should be 140x90?

This would be better with the ±70 azimuth as the MKM would be better at notching.

Did you find the primary sources on the N011M radar yet?
And where did you read that the Su30sm uses the N011M-r radar? having trouble finding it

The website isn’t loading but it basically states that su-30sm is the only one that uses modern bars that has the upgraded limits.

N011m for su-30mkm only 40 degrees each way

N011m for su-30sm is 45 degrees (much newer)

Right but doesn’t that mean that both the SM and MKM should be able to scan ESA lets say -70 to +10 for the MKM and -70 to +15 for the SM?

Yeah it does in game do that.
The esa scan area changes as you move the radar dish left or right.
Also does the same for su-30sm2 but it’s 120 degrees instead of 90 degrees for sm or 80 for mkm

So both the SM and MKM should be nerfed to ±70 azimuth from ±90 we have in game

They’re already ±70
I think you’re confusing ±45 with ±90. ±45 is 90.
±40 is 80.

Switched to few games in Su-27 after my F-15A. Gaijin did not appreciate that and PL spiked me into the ground

Wait no im getting confused. Right it should be buffed from ±45 to ±70
The radar on the MKM has 90x80 rn though, am I missing something?

Ohhhh.

The radar of the su-30mki variants are not 70 degrees ESA.
It’s ±45 or 40 degrees ESA then it’s 30 degrees horizontally mechanically driven.
So largest scan zone is limited to ±40-45 degrees
