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

Good point, but Gaijin can easily just ignore this and just slap the raw thrust numbers on it

The most gaijin thing to do for sure. Su-30SM still has incorrect 3D model so making it even more wrong wouldn’g be that far fetched. And we have plenty of fake stuff all around the game anyway.

5% thrust buff.

from translation?

maybe you should mention that it is for the Su-30SM

as a native speaker, BVVD said that it’s something about spooling time buff that gives it around 5% thrust increase

Ah ok, thank you.

He also said something vague about “bigger buff” so we might cope about SM2 with AL-41 i guess

question is if it also will aply to the Su-27S

no info, he only said it in scope of Su-30SM. I’ll check as soon as dev will open

so will I

It doesn’t have special mode on engines IIRC

@GitGood said it is the spool time

so it has nothing to do with an engine mode

And old plane like Su-35s VS the most modern nato jets… Sure. I sound really balance. These thing should go against a upgrade Su-35s. That was talked at the start of this year. Sadly There is 0 news about it. With only 4 month left in this year. People said that Russia usually reveal new model in the latest month of the Years. But I don’t think it will happens.

Of course it will be. AL-41 have bigger diameter. You can’t just install them without modifying the intakes.

Well, that ends that then, people were panicking for nothing

Well, stream ended, hope dev opens soon

the Su-35S is from like 2010

that is what we are talking about, not the Su-27M

Then we’ll check on the Dev Server; if someone can quickly verify the Su30SM FM after it updates, that would be great.

From 2008 if you count first flight or 2014 if you count military service entry

Frame its like from the 2000 or even older… Tech its from same time. At most 2005-8. IRBIS was tested on a Su-30 in 2005-7ish. That its why the system were only used on early T-50. And Su-57 don’t even use most of them. And them Megapolis project was launch for Su-57 so it can get even more modern upgrades.

Edit; Well Su-30sm its already fighting 2020’ jets like the Rafale in game. And its enter service the same year as Su-35s.
