I believe there’s a chance of these planes being modified on the next devserver, usually the game recieves significant changes during new updates.
What makes me a bit hopeful is exactly what you said about “modern flankers being derivatives of the su-27”, it’s actually like that for almost every 4th gen fighter. I have a glimpse of hope that these planes will be corrected in the near future because the devs will just have to work with them all the time given the amount of variants they have.

I talked to the developer about this. And the R-27T/ET missile has good protection against interference.The logic block allows you to filter out false goals.But the developer said he doesn’t know how it works and won’t add it to the game.
And the SM3 puts in all the other avionics from the 35, such as Thrust vectoring engines (though, it may have just been stronger engines)
And the only difference between the SM3 and Su-35 is that Su-35 is used for brand new airframes while SM3 is used for older frames upgraded to the new standard
