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

Oh I know, its still nutty in RB.

But my opinion on the EFT is kinda like…

“I don’t just not wanna see it, I want it taken out back and shot”

Fair enough, to each their own.

There’s a whole batch of “regular” 27SM that received the new engines before the 27SM3 saw service

It’s more so missile count that makes it Frankenstein not engine

not really, it is the way those missiles are mounted and not their amount

Does the SM2 not lose the radome pitot tube when mounting the Irbis radar (like the Su-35), or is the Irbis not bring mounted (yet or at all)?

no it dosent

you can see that it is a SM2 due to the different antennas in the wings leading edge

5% thrust? It’s like giving mineral water to a corpse.

For the Su-30SM I’d take any thrust i can get lol

5 percent can make real difference.

How ? Rafale or Eurofighter has 2 times more only thing it’s going to do is spook west mains

Both planes already superior to Su30 in both ingame and real life, Su30Sm will still be worse even if it recieves AL-41 engines.

These planes sits at different leauge dude.

Hope they give it the AL41s it’s the weakest 14.3 atm of the 3

No, Su30Sm with AL-41 engines will be nice, SU35 should be added with EFT Tranche 4/5 and Rafale F4/5.

Su-35 with R-77M is gonna be absolute cinema

Su30sm with only the AL41 and non of the other upgrades will be yet another Frankenstein plane

If it receives the Al-41 it should also get a different RWR and a better radar

On top of that gaijin would need to make adjustments to the 3d model (even more so than they already have to)

Since radar and RWR is already pretty good i dont think they will change that.

It will either be thrust buff or AL-41 engine.

I hope they show this in the dev stream, even tho I think the BUK will have the spotlight (rightfully so)

Hope so too.
