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

By definition it kinda is a “cruise missile”, though I guess the range is not quite that of other cruise missiles, it does vastly exceed that of any other weapons seen in-game.

couldn’t have said that better. Maybe “most western” since F-16C and F-15C are fine FM wise, but yeah the. What I don’t understand is why they have become so strict with FM bug reports compared to a year ago.

Well i think it’s kinda the same treatment that the phoenix got when they released it, “it’s a fox3 but it’s not”, i agree that it’s annoying that the other side doesn’t get a counterpart for it for fun reasons but the equipment doesn’t seem to be good, will have to look in the devserver to make sure tho.

Tbh, the GBU-39 SDB’s are gonna be the much bigger deal for sim i think, I was more going about it as a capabilities/fun side of things.

As it currently stands, I think the Su-34 will be superior in GFRB/GFSB as it has access to the Kh-38’s which have no counters among the GBAD seen in-game and can either be F&F or laser guided depending on the variant.

The F-15E on the other hand will be a monster in sim air due to being able to complete large amounts of ground objectives in a single sortie while also being quite decent in air to air, and having a nicer cockpit to work with.

If the Patriot/S-300 sites are added as objectives in sim though, thatd be in favor of the Su-34 as itd be the only jet in-game thatd be able to engage such types of long range GBAD relatively safely.

The SU-30MK, SU-30MKK, and SU-30MK2 all do not use ESA radars.

What kind of mig can carry it? Only M35?

How will it be useless when the Su-25 using an older version of the missile clears up teams…You have 6 on a far more capable airframe.

Was about to submit the report but just saw that you used wrong weight for the test: when adjusting mass with FM commands load out is already taken into consideration. If you set 18184kg the total weight will be 18148kg, not 18184 + ordinance.

750kg difference in an heavy aircraft like the Su-27 (especially at higher speeds) make relatively little (certainly not 7 full fat seconds) difference but devs will obviously answer that wrong weight was used

no K/M/35

No SMT :(

Pretty sure the R-27 loadouts are kinda off.

It is less weight than the scenario shows and still underperforms, but I will still run the correct weight and try again tonight.

I blocked squishface cuz hes spent the last 3 years hunting me down on every new platform he can find to harass me simply because he didnt like a reddit post i made about sparrows back then, its creepy, not conducive to a good discussion, and irrelevant to this thread lmao. If this wasnt the internet, id just get a restraining order for stalkers like him. Feel free to keep insulting me while off topic tho i guess xD

I guess the Su-34 is the first russian jet to get access to more than 2 R-27ET’s?

If something is wrong please make a report

Dear God… Now I really wish I did install DEV and had enough GE to just rush mods to just taste the this absurdity

I can not
