Sukhoi Su-27/30/33/35/37 Flanker series & Su-34 Fullback - History, Design, Performance & Dissection (Part 1)

No

I don’t disagree that the Su-27 could still perform it’s intended role, but from what they envisioned it, it was still lacking, if it weren’t the Su-27M wouldn’t have been developed.
Also, you say that Soviet doctrine was WVR centered, but also used the majority of their interceptions with GCI?
That isn’t really a coherent doctrine, because it wasn’t like this, the Soviets also wanted long range missiles on their fighters, the only real fighter meant for true WVR and dogfights was the MiG-29.
The Su-27 at the very beginning of it’s introduction already had R-27ERs, which IRL could hit targets at a distance of up to 100km, the Soviets knew that if they coupled these very good and advanced missiles, with powerful and advanced radars, it would’ve been a big leap forward, the problem was simply that there was not enough time to develop them before 1991.

@BBCRF worked on the flight model of the Su-30SM DCS mod, all you need to see is their reaction to how the War Thunder one flies when it is added to know if it is accurate.

Dude, I know)

Then idk, you could ask them on how to model TVC and actual fly-by-wire effectively.
Knowing Gaijin they’ll probably screw up the TVC implementation badly.

I have almost completed the CAD model, and will soon begin the CFD stage for more accurate modeling.

If only gaijin would do that

Su-27SM HMD activation boundary/gap too wide (cockpit)

What radar have Su 30MKK and MK2? Only N001?Or were there planes equipped with N010 zhuk?

N001VEP

N001VEP
So same shit the su27sm has?

Yes.

I read, that late modification have zhuk ms

There was never Zhuk on the Flankers.

Okey, thank you

Yeah if I’m not wrong the Su-30MKK/MK2 only have the Myech, the Su-30SM/MKI have the Bars, and the Su-30SM2 has the Irbis

The Su-30MKM use’s the bars Radar from what I’m able to find there’s also a page about it on the forums as a suggestion

All Irkutsk Su-30 with Bars IIRC.
