Sukhoi Su-27/30/33/35/37 Flanker series & Su-34 Fullback - History, Design, Performance & Dissection (Part 3)

ok, man that made this layout should be banned from kitchen, he can’t cook

Well it was to be expected, I remember that last december when they buffed the FM they went and did their thing, pretty much ignoring the fact that the report was for low speed lift.

Instead they just decided to increase it even at high speed regimes where it wasn’t really needed, and the result is this.

Let’s see how they handle this patch.

There’s also Kizvy’s roll rate report, which I think got totally ignored so far.

they adjusted the high speed performance after that
it did not stay the same

Yes they did adjust it like a few days later, but IF I’m not mistaken it still resulted to be a bit better than pre-buff FM.

would be hilarious if those “composites” are same as “titanium” in a MiG-25

Jokes aside, the J-16 would be no safer than any other flanker, perhaps it being quite light and with a lot of thrust wouldn’t put it in a bad spot.

still heavier than the J-11B and Su-27SM

True true

bbut, MUH COMPOSITES

Hopefully they buff underperforming lift

they already buffed that a while ago

It still doesn’t meet the 8G mark during a dive recovery ad idle thrust (10%) at 500KPH, at min fuel

Right now it reaches, about 6.25/6.5G

Mikoyan super composites vs Chinese super composites

both are Nickel Steel

That reminds me, another plane that is overperforming is the superhornet in STR and acceleration, and it should be nerfed!!!

it also not bleeding enough speed in ITR

a rookie mistake, you forgot that in War Thunder it uses AFTERBURNER

Was looking for the old charts and I stumbled upon an ancient gem:

Perhaps he was just visionary and predicted ram coatings
