This might be the best loadout so far. A common Su-35 loadout. ETs are actually very advanced IR missiles that GJ decided not to prop up but rather the R-27ER. A shame imo.
Stupid so he sticks to the 50 degree (+/-25 degree) investigation radius. In other words, if the target leaves the range, the lock-on will be interrupted lol.
ET is horrible in the game in terms of IRCCM, 9L for real ignores flares more often

If you get a good launch, the ET is basically a 10km stealth kill
Or the enemy might pop 1 random flare and flare it even when it’s 1 km away, without even knowing an ET is coming.
Btw even 9B/9J is a free stealth kill from 2 KM if the enemy doesn’t know it. That argument is invalid.

Has anyone noticed the engine problem of the Su-27SM in the game?
In fact, according to the official website of MMPP “Salut” and interviews, we all believe that the Su-27SM should be equipped with a more powerful AL-31FM1 (99M1 or АЛ31Ф сер42) engine. But in the game, it is shown as AL-31F and is the same as the regular Su-27. Since the Su-27SM is heavier than the standard Su-27, its flight performance must be reduced.
I tried to submit an issue, but it was rejected due to lack of information. I wonder if anyone in the forum can help me?

If only the documents for the plane.It is said from open sources that the new engine appeared with the SM3 version
Could it be that some SM versions upgraded to M3 models and recieved new engines or used as testbed for new engines?
ZVO_12_INCH and Fantom2451 mentioned before that Su-27SM that came in later batch had the upgraded engine

Of course, the factory aircraft tested the engines
Isnt that enough to make a bug report for it? New engines will increase the efficiency alot.
👌
Please report this to developers. I can’t read Russian so I cannot report this.
Why would the SM be heavier? it received digital avionics etc. I would assume it gotten lighter.
However, it seems to perform much better because of no longer having to be strapped down with R-27ERs.
So maybe it is heavier.
It’s not nonsense, the Oswald coefficient is not linear by any means in anything but an elliptical wing.
An example of an aircraft that in game currently has a de facto (talking about what the Oswald coefficient calculated with lifting line theory would to be, the “Oswald coefficient” in the game files has nothing to do with it) linear Oswald coefficient is the gripen which has a clearly wrong flight model

Reinforcement like on Su-27SK might be a thing. But Su-27SM is modifiocation of old Su-27S/P frames.
