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

I don’t believe the pictures, because you could have already turned your nose up a little from the very beginning
A few months ago I saw WRTI showing exactly 90 degrees AoA, my friend tested it

It’s because he is stuffing words into the developers mouth.

Neutrally stable, but in order to meet the correct pitch rate and AoA overshoot it becomes slightly unstable depending on fuel loads and other conditions. The peak AoA in pitch-up is approximately 60 degrees.

You can even see in the developers video that the plane makes a cobra at 110-120 degrees. Even the announcer says it, compare my video and the developer’s video

You mean maintaining level flight? What real pilots do before a cobra…

Yeah

Better make a video, I can’t make a cobra at 110-120 degrees right now (95-100max)

Initial AOA will be slightly up to maintain level flight.

Just compare my video and the developers video

Why did you send me this? I know that the Su-27 should do a 110-120 degree cobra IRL

American mains are a caricature of themselves.
Guy can’t even go 1:1 in the F-15C.

Hold on, how this relates to the topic at hand? It barely related to that thread, but the heck it doing here? (Besides trying to pull of a gotcha)

Gives you the conditions for the Cobra

It’s related to the current balance of the game and how USA mains loudly demand to be handheld at every minor inconvenience. Like removing G limiter and unrealistic AoA limits to ensure their planes perform better in War Thunder.

You missed the point

If structural G limits are extended, then the same thing should happen with fbw G limits.

The AoA limit and the fact that MiG-29 had it’s energy retention gutted in the same patch is what basically killed off the viability of USSR flight models outside of “cobra into r73 spin gambit”.
