you only missing engine? Or other mods as well?
changed name?
also they say it has some kind of ram coating, from what we know they tend to be heavy
I was only missing engine mod but @Dzhkグ was right.
This thing became monster after engine upgrade.
After installing engine mod, i felt so much more confident and went full rocketship mode (dont mind those two imposters).
I managed to unlock PL-12A’s in that game thanks to booster+5k.
Also this thing drinks fuel after engine mod, keep it in mind.

al-31 is a perfectly good engine in my opinion
27M is heavier than 30SM.
Indeed good sir, indeed :)

Another game where i scored 4k.
@Dzhkグ You made me love this thing after hating so much, despite limited CM’s i started like this plane a lot after so much suffering.
It’s Mach limit is also higher which I like, for some reason I’m terrible at bvr though in both sm2 and j15t and I only know how to kill ppl less than 20km away 😔
Got multiple 20+km kills with PL12A’s, GNSS helps a lot for me.
I just climb 20 degress after i reach 1250km on deck until 8k then raise my nose to sling missiles to people from 40km’s.
looking at Fomin book, Su-27M (marked as Su-35 here) is actually lighter than Su-30SM. Which is interesting because i do remember seeing it being slightly heavier.

I’ll try this out soon thanks, I assume this works for sm2 as well since they accelerate about the same?

You’re welcome, this tactic works with anything that has decent flight model, i also do the same thing on EFT’s and F15’s.

Also, judging by this @kizvy , main reason why Su-30 has lower top speed might be not canards, but cockpit. Su-27UB, Su-30, Su-30MKI and Su-30MKK have same mach limit and top speed at altitude in this table (outside of the MKK that has 5km/h less) and the only thing consistent between all these airframes is the cockpit.

i was not aware but the al31f is still a perfectly fine engine.
especially after Flankers stopped bleeding all of their speed in a single turn. Sure Su-30SM might take a bit to speed up, but it would not loose all that speed as quickly. And something like Su-27M could be even better due to lower drag and no TVC to accidentally oversteer yourself into the ground
Does anyone know what these are?
It was posted by a Su-34 pilot, so it’s most likely on a Su-34

I wanna say it’s a Kh-38 but the lack of a Lens and the folding wings are throwing me off.
Kh-35U
It does not have a booster, due to being on a plane
