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

Did the su34m exist?

Yes

That’s where ppl have been getting from that the su34 ingame should have HMS

Those bug reports were shut down since the sources were for the su34 and not the base model from what I remember

no

wouldn’t that be algerias? looks slightly different to the normal russian ones

cobra notch

Look how close it was

Would be cool to have the ability to guide in multiple Sarh in game on more advanced radar sets.

Would definitely bring R-27ERs on my su-30 then

They are quite useful even now, N011M has very generous horisontal angles and tracking is quite powerful.

Yep they work extremely well now that they can be paired with a good radar main issue is just you are limited to guiding in one at a time, so you can just be completely overwhelmed easily by enemy fire

Does anyone have a comparison of the silhouettes of the Su-27 and Su-35S? The Su-35S with regular camouflage looks very old.

The red one is the su27

Hell yeah
Btw what variant is that?

IRST looks to be centred, so maybe Su-27S, not sure tbh.

That’s what I was thinking as well but I don’t know flankers that well so not sure

Have they just painted a gate guard to look more modern inline with the Su-57 scheme?

It has the SPO-15 receivers on the front of the intake, so.

Most likely Su-27S.

Ah yeah, there’s also that.

Either S or P. Both have SPO-15 and R-27 only. iirc it’s almost impossible to differentiate S from P externally.

Mounts are different i believe

anyone know if any of the newer flanker models can carry more than 2x of the R-27T/ETs? (except the Su-34 which can bring 6x in game)
