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

Here’s an amazing clip of me and my friend doing a sim dogfight in the 27SM with R-73s.

I cut out all the VC, but I lost him and yelped like a girl when I found him.

I also had to cut it in two to make it fit on the forums. :p

Also those first two R-73s really are a testament to how floppy they are.

That’s also the reason why I like to put a guy next to each model I make for scale

Gaijin could’ve just place a pilot model close to the cockpit, little effort but gives a lot better perspective

This 100% should’ve hit but it decided to break its ankles instead.

R-73s are just bipolar from my experience.

That first clip won’t load for me, the second one is very impressive.


Has anyone else noticed the spring-loaded AOA reader in the SM2?

Some interesting stuff I found browsing the RU Forum

Some info on the Multifunction AESA IFF of the SM2

It’s from 2022, so most of it is speculative. But supposedly it’s to talk to the Su-57 and Drones.

Man I ever since I became member of IASM I forgot how wt’s Rita actually sound like.

He’s Rita VWS feels much more authentic and real tbh just like other VWS he made.

Although these are hit by OWAs easily

So probably against AA boats

Su-30M2 Cockpit footage.

Can’t really see much of the cockpit, but it’s a nice view behind the HUD.

Didn’t the SU27M Bort 710 (serial 79871011002) get AL41s in 2006/7?

It did, but it was for engine tests. I don’t think airframe would be in any long term operational shape, you can even see reinforcing struts on the bottom

Oh huh, I been looking for photos of the install. Would love to see it in game stilll

Even just a regular Su-27M would be a welcome addition. It has some interesting quirks if you collect all of the hardware between prototypes into one “what if” version

me when the su35 comes out
