Testing AoA for F-15 and Su-27. Both seem correct currently.
F-15 can peak at ~40 degrees briefly and sustain 28 degrees.

Su-27 is fully capable of the Cobra (90 degree AoA, 120 degree nose pitch).

Guys who has the Chinese Flanker and the Soviet? The J-11 is much more maneuverable and can pull 90-degree aoa on a dime compared to the Soviet.

Is there a technical reason for this I am missing?

Both should be 1:1 identical, weird

They are

I am testing them again looking at fuels. Will post videos in about 30 if I find out I am not just tripping.

What’s the RWR fitted to the Su-27 at the moment?

No J-11 is heavier and has to maneuver worse

If it turned out to be better in the game, ask the customizer

Roger that bro, stand by for vids. For all of you guys to determine if they are correct compared to the Russian.

I was wrong, a single line is changed between the two flight models which is the empty weight. Doesn’t seem to noticeably affect FM performance.

I should have figured, the BVR fight gets much harder if you don’t know when the missile is launched, especially if guidance of AIM-7F/M is properly on HPRF/MPRF. Though I expect that not to be an issue with the snails basic SARH missile implementation.

Performance is the same. HOWEVER.

The Soviet nose bobbles more than the Chinese at low speed and low altitude performance (Post Stall). It is affected trying to regain control at low latitude. Chinese is flush with full control of aircraft after high alpha maneuvers.

the Chinese Flanker’s post stall control is superior at moment imo.

Su-27 (VKS) High alpha roll and post stall control. - YouTube
30min internal, 900km roll and pitch, 90° alpha and return to level flight. This Flanker demonstrates less control post stall. Notice the excessive nose bobble and I did not sustain the same alpha any longer than the Chinese.

30min internal, 900km roll and pitch, 90° alpha and return to level flight. This Flanker demonstrates superior control post stall.

I am just getting used to flying the jet will conduct better test as I get better, getting used to weaknesses and strengths.

The IRST seems the same strength in as the Mig and Yak. Clearly this thing is gigantic for a reason.

The FOV should be greater as well but seems to be exact copy as well the same when using HMS. Of course, WIP but we need to note it.

Yes, it should be ±60 instead of current ±30.

I believe radar elevation is also incorrect right now? -35 degrees negative elevation is very little
