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

It over performs. The whole point of the report is that it over performs pulling little (accelerating), and underperforms when pulling hard.

I have had basically 4 interactions with you over 3 years. And 3 of them are basically in the last few months since you have gone around trying to be the subject matter expert on the state of sim.

  1. You complaining about German F4F not having Aim-9L because you claimed Germany win rates were worse than ever. (They were not.) This is over 3 years ago.

  2. You claiming that the Su-27 flight model is actually very good and people that complain about it do not know how to use it. I tagged you in a mutual discord and told you that you were wrong about the flight model.

  3. Aim-9M being easy to defeat in Sim and when you were coping about the Su-27SM being the best plane in the game before it had even came out. Yes…I made fun of you for this because it was another instance of you misrepresenting your in-game experience.

  4. Your claims about top tier red side in sim. You practically made the exact same claims about red side in sim a few months ago in the warthunder sim discord.

Aside from those…I have maybe replied to you only a handful of times on the forums.

This seems pretty one sided and kinda weird you just knew all of this off hand. You constantly post bait and then act surprised when people call you on it. Right now you’re trying to derail the conversation conveniently when discussion that would lead to a potential report on the Su-27 was taking place…

Both the N001 and N011 are PESAs.

N001 is Cassegrain antenna… N011 is slotted array from Su-27M… Su-30MKK, MK2, M2 use N001V(EP)
PESA is N011M that’s used by Su-30SM, MKI, MKM.

Which doesn’t exclude it from being a PESA? You understand that phased arrays can consist of many different antenna designs and methodology, right?

Again, the aperture does not define whether the radar is or isn’t a PESA.

Ah, checked up on it. I’m an idiot

Is it not?

MythicPi is making accusations so I think it is fair that I should be able to defend myself.

I have a fairly good memory as far as my interactions with other people go and I can also just go look at my own history to get most of the facts straight.

And when people have routinely bad takes I tend to remember them. Heck I remember killing you with an Aim-9M and the A-10C on Denmark probably a month or so ago while you were trying to dogfight an F-5E near the island.

Heck I remember you claiming that the F-14 was the best plane in the game around 2 years ago and claiming that the MiG-29 needed the R-73 back then in order to be competitive in Air RB. This was before the flight model was nerfed to it’s current state by the way.

I also remember you claiming that the Su-27 flight model was accurate or even over-performing when other people were saying the opposite.

He still believes that Raphael defeated the Su-35 in Egypt with the help of EW. Although this has never actually happened

The even more funny thing is that the Flanker seems to lose to the Eagle one-circle at similar fuel conditions currently

It is in regards to sustained turn rate, all the other takes are still accurate.
How are you gonna do a 180 and defend him all of a sudden? Oh, and of course you’d remember if you shot me down. I’m notorious.

At the time you seemed to believe that it was accurate in terms of specific excess power.

  1. The flight model has not been changed since this conversation.
  2. There have been at least 3 bug reports that have been made using the manual as a source and showing that the sustained turn rate does not match the manuals.

The reason that you are kind of infamous amongst the War Thunder community at large is because of your inability to ever admit that you are wrong.

Who am I defending? Myself or MythicPi?

In all fairness to Mythic Pi, he fell into trope that Su-27 flight model is actually very good in sim. This is a common enough occurrence that any time it comes up I offer for the player to prove that it really isn’t and that it’s pretty reliably beaten by NATO flight models and exploiting its lack of specific excess power is pretty straight forward.

Also I made mental note of killing you with A-10C because I was surprised you never weighed in on A-10C and Aim-9M being at 11.3 in Sim. And I was wondering if you would stick around in a game where you were not doing well in.

At best they are roughly equal and it just results in mutual head-on in the first turn.
