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

L-150 is the full system suite, SPO-30 is the initial designation given to the digital RWR while SPO-32 is similar, though also tied to the aircraft’s FCS to assist in target identification and attack.

L-150 contains SPO-30
L-175 contains SPO-32

no they didnt the AoA button wasnt a buff

with its addition the flankers started to stall asymetrically in a symetric manouver

i’ve never heard about such way of naming RWRs. And every source i looked specifially says that L-150 is the name of RWR

yeah they made wing stalling easier, but i like the aoa button, its much easier to control and get a shot than manual. sim not that big of a different but rb yeah its big

same

the su30 in the first dev works better except in ratefight

iirc in the first two days of dev the Su-30 got:

  • Reduced thrust (from 12400kgf-ish to 11650)

  • Reduced tilt angles for the TVC

  • More wing stall coeff

  • Weight increase

yup

It was clearly way too dominant.

it is becasue it made the FM even more inacurate

why do you think flankers do so many cobras on airshows?

it is to show that they arent loosing lift asymetrically when pulling a symmetric manouver

(i only pulled up to engage the cobra once it started pitching up, i didnt do anything)

how it is supposed to look like:

i know, i have the mod for DCS

you can do whatever’s shown in that maneuver no? at least that’s what it looked like when i tried it

you are not supposed to use either elevators or rudders during the manouver

especially since your rudders should have zero controll since there is no airflow over them

you can definitely see him using his elevators. ill do one with no rudders then

he only starts using his elevator once his AoA stabilized, if you were to pitch down during a cobra IRL you would enter an inverted leaf stall

yeah you’re right
shi just spins out without any rudder input.

6x r37 was only on mig31m sadly, and base r37, mig31bm has 4x r37m only

While MiG-31BM can’t carry 6 R-37 under fuselage, it can still carry 2 more on inner wing pylons, retaining 6xR-37 loadout capabilities.
