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

Yeah, I don’t really use any other radar mode other than HMS PD.

Flanker family have a nice future in war thunder, but i want to see the fulcrum back. It has been a long time since the last variant.

What fulcrum can they even add? THe mig-29m? That would be fantasy flight model

And besides, the flanker series clear the mig 29 series

Not really, there’s enough info available to make a decent vehicle, we compiled them on this thread Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29M (9-15) - what the fulcrum would have been

I just hope that the Fulcrum gets its wartime thrust setting. MiG-21 and MiG-23 have it currently iirc.

It depends on the variant tbh, mig29 got his bad reputation from monkey models in Iraq and poor maintained ones in Serbia being swarmed by the usaf modernized fighters

I fear it’s going to take a long time for them to improve the fulcrum. I consider this sad cuz it’s my absolute favorite plane but well, it is what it is…

M, K, 9.18, OVT, 35. I wish they gave the og 9.13 its r73s tho. I’d trade the ERs for em

Same but that’s not going to happen tbh, they feel the plane is ok at its current spot. We need to wait for the K, S, SM, M etc

I’m speeding up the process by researching the german tree :)

It pretty much is, since F16 with superior radar and RWR, but 7M and 9L sits at same BR, Mig29 in contrast has R27ER and HMD. Although I would take R27ERs over R73s, cause they get me kills and killed more frequently than R73, even with HMD it is still, IR with moderate IRCCM capabilities especially against uptiers, not really going to make a difference.

Well i won’t disagree with you, it really is balanced, the thing is that imo a mig29 without archers is like a house without a door and the SMT is too heavy to be enjoyable… I’m waiting for a new variant.

I still hate the Mech enough to tell my friend to grind for that instead of Su27SM, although Su34 is probably the best choice in my opinion.

Mech?

Mech aka N001.
That said what does that translate to? Any one know?

Radar I think

I just saw it, it means sword.

Oh, okay. Sorry for the confusion. Was not trying to be a jerk.

I literally just took a glance at wikipedia, and it says it there :P Not a sharp sword by any means.
