If they share it for long enough it will gain credibility by slowly becoming 144p

or the R-77M

without there being any known R-77M carrier on that list

Well OBVIOUSLY the Su-27SM3 can.

N001 is definitely the ideal FCS for R-77M.

and we totally dont already have what is the Su-27SM3 ingame already

R-77-1 and a further upgraded cockpit would be nice though.

UNLESS gaijin thinks that SM3 also has Irbis installed

we don’t, SM3 most likely is heavier than SM. First airframes were literall Su-27SKs if my memory doesn’t fail me. Reinforced wing, reinforced landing gear, it all adds up

Eh, unless it also got AL-41 or, at least, Izd 177 (provided it have some power generation) I doubt it even physically possible (30SM2 at least suppose to get AL-41 engines (or even already did?))

Physically it is possible. Su-30MKK was a testbed for Irbis, albeit only in a half-power setup. This exact version of Irbis was offered for Su-27SM2 program.

Don’t care if the leaks are fake, need the Tu-22M2 or 3 asap so I can red storm rising Backfire larp by firing off Kh-22s at carriers.

Su-27SM3 stil uses Al-31FM1.

theoretically you can slap AL-41F1/F1S onto an older Flanker by modifying the mounts.

Most Flankers can’t use Izd. 177 due to the stresses put on the airframe by the engine, Even though the Izd. 177 is meant for the same mounts as the Al-31 (This might not apply to Su-35S, since it’s an reinforced airframe).

Who could possibly be flagging them lol

I assume you got this info from somewhere? 177 has type 99 mounts so it shouldn’t be a problem for the airframe

we do

the Su-27SM we have ingame has 12 missiles, upgraded engines and the N001 VEP

what we have ingame is basically the Su-27SM3

only difference is that we dont get the 12 missiles from having extra wing pylons, but rather through gaijin adding r-77 double pylons

isnt that the mythical 27SM2 tho

Weight, big guy. And probably the ability of SM3 to slap R-77s on the R-73 pylons similar to Su-30SM.

Who said that SM3 can’t be with SM2 parts? I am not talking about us, i am talking about gaijin logic.

Well I THOUGHT George N. Said it, but looking it up on his profile makes it apparent 177 can be fitted to older Flankers.
