True and Gaijin likes to combine features from various editions the last Su-27SM is a mongrel made from different components and upgrades.
We are not going to see an R-37M anytime soon

Is it just me who shares the opinion that we should receive the su30sm2 and not the su30sm1? explicitly for the better engines and radar, the eurofighter didn’t come as an early variant, also the rafale dint either and it is literally from 2019… idk… I’m thinking more about the airframe performance and radar, it would even be less of work to keep the su30sm2 competitive in the future, like rn the loadout would be limited to r73/r77 and in the future it could recieve better weapons to stay competitve like r73m/r74m /r77m and etc.
The only difference in loadouts is the ability to carry the r37m
Anyone know if the su30sm can carry more than 2 r27et?
even more reason to add sm2 and not sm1…

T-220 targeting pod noted
Su-35 and Mig-35 can mount this, according to the Russian/Soviet aircraft TGP thread:
Can it be mounted to Su-30SM?

what gen thermals does that thermal pod have
No only 2
The olivia leak says it’s coming so it’s probably a module for the Su-30SM

So we get a good multirole with a good radar and (hopefully) good flight performance? AND FINALLY A TARGETING POD?
Nah, this is Russian bias. Now nerf Su-30SM Flight model into the ground.

Off-Topic will finally MiG-29 be saved now?
The ingame grom-2’s have the same model at the moment

Not sure, In the case of the mig29 and other jets that suffer from the same issue, they pull too much and lose a Lot of speed in the process. I believe they should add a feature that lets you adjust the amount of Aoa the instructor can pull, 29 is an excelent 2c fighter but we can only see that with Full controls…

No. Only Su-35 can carry 4. Su-34 should have only 2
