It is true that the naval Su-33 is more unstable than Su-27S with the addition of canards, but once AOA exceeds a set limit the flight control system automatically reverses the direction of the control surfaces to prevent complete loss of lift. In War Thunder, however, this would not be modeled and I would say that the maneuver shown in the video is within the realm of possibility for a WT Su-33. However, the Su-34 being able to pull anything remotely close to that is completely ridiculous without it going into an unrecoverable stall.

No you’re wrong, to perform the cobra maneuver you have to disable the AoA and G limiter as well as the stability automaton
Man, high internet packet loss in Su-34 is like a death sentence. It stalls itself so much that it is hard to recover.
Least you have already managed 6 kills with the KH-38ts…
Do you have packet loss as well as me?
I still haven’t used it in Ground RB since I’m busy grinding for modifications in Air RB.
One time, my internet was so laggy that my Su-34 pulled too hard, causing fuel starvation and free-falling.
I live in dormitory with public wifi and can’t have my own internet router. It sucks.
Last I checked the AIM-120 is not exclusive to the US tech tree

SU-34 is my fav russian aircraft. Very cool. BUT, why is it 13.3 when it’s US counterpart, the F15 strike eagle is 13.7? Explain?
Well, recently I played SB (EC mode).
It took me 5 or 6 Kh-38MTs to kill single standing tank.
I do not know about other modes, but in SB EC it is nearly impossible to play USSR assault planes.

Because the F-15E is much better fighter in Air RB.

Because fat
Do tell me how 6 KH-38MTs managed to miss a stationary target… It’s definitely not like there are mountains of evidence showing they are more than capable of hitting 6/6 against moving targets
There were no misses. Always hit…but just hit :)
5 or 6 times in a row.
Tunisa map, flat. Launch at around 1000m above the ground. Distance - 13-16km. Tank did not move (battlefield zone).

And I’m sure you think it would have been a different result of you had fired AGM-65s… Right…
In opposite team there were 2 players. One did 50+ kills of ground units, the second one did 20+.
I do not recall which weapon was used.
I have heard about problems with mavericks too. But I do not recall the same problem with them I faced.
Also, opposite team in SB EC always outnumbers you at least twice.
Makes you to conclude about the efficacy of different nations in this game.

How many times do we need to say it’s the US equipment and that it doesn’t matter whose coat of paint is on it?

Because the Su-34 is a fat cow of a plane with horrible energy retention and no HMD, while the F-15E is the best plane in the game by such a large margin that it arguably should be 14.3
