It was first posted on the Rumor Round-Up and Discussion if i’m not wrong, a bit after Dev was updated, to be sure it’s better to wait for the Dataminers to do a full post of the stuff they found
Sukhoi Su-27/30/33/35/37 Flanker series & Su-34 Fullback - History, Design, Performance & Dissection
2010
12 missiles + 20km HMD for the Su-27SM is a very nice buff wow
Wait it gets 20km HMD?
Yes sir. N019, Zhuks, N001/vep gets 20km HMD. So all the MiG-29s, Yak-141s, All Su-27s.
It’s only for balance or historical buff?
I dont know if its historical but its a nice change
Yeah it is but i am still mad about that FM
They must have changed it as the initial SU-27 still had 10km hmd when I tested it earlier.
I think you were looking at ACM PD not HMD PD.
No, I was testing the SM and normal 27 back to back after i noticed the SM had a 20km HMD.
Only SM has that improved hmd?
No, they both have it now, but it wasn’t that way earlier.
Now i have even more question, like why? Gaijin has any sources why they buffed it?
They also must have messed with the FM too, as earlier i was able to pull 12gs above mach and bleed speed a lot quicker, but now it barely holds 10gs and can comfortably stay above mach while pulling.
Interesing…
Range limit isn’t really a thing irl… It’s pretty much just a lock like you would do from search mode
For reference, I was in the dev server about 15 minutes after it opened and tested everything I wanted within the first hour.
