If you can see the tanks then its fine.
Having much better AGMs massively outweigh having better zoom.
Sukhoi Su-27/30/33/35/37 Flanker series & Su-34 Fullback - History, Design, Performance & Dissection
Cause tanks will out in the open? ;)
AGMs aren’t “much better”, they’re still limited to 20km like everything else, and still IR guided.
Still defeated before launch let alone after launch.
KH-38 > Mavs
Kh-38s are much faster and loft a bit more (less time for interception or interruption)
Kh-38s have 3x the explosive mass (Almost guaranteed kills whereas a mav has like 60-70%)

AGM-65s are so inferior that they kill as many tanks as KH-38s. ;)
It’s a cool fact, and it doesn’t matter; tanks die either way.

But would the su-34M/su-34NVO bring HMD and or thermals?
Crazy how they died ;)
Same match btw and there were more fails like that
No, because it has none
They ae not adding su-34M this uppdate, but the su-34M varient, would it bring any of these 2 things I listed

Probably yes, Russia started replacing OG su34s with the new ones in 2020 and seems kinda dumb to spend a shit ton of money improving the vehicle while not giving such an essential thing like thermals.
I’ll make some research to be sure.

Thank you, i tried myself but to no avail, was asking if any1 knew anything about this, since i really would like seing the su-34M in the game, since its just a middleground between AIR RB and GROUND RB, not being better than the best in eithe category, except fo carying the most ammount of kh-38’s.
But i guess it would be to op rn, but for a future update!
Guys, can someone check what engines with what thrust the Su-34 has on the dev?
Also, @BBCRF, @ID_Heaven, or anybody else, do you know if the Su-27SM has ever flown in the Russian Air Force (in service, not just testing) with AL-31FM1? Or are all of them stuck with the AL-31F?
I have been seeing some sources stating that AL-31FM1 was installed on the Su-27SM and Su-34. Apparently, it does not require any modifications to be installed on the Su-27 airframe (if the airframe used to have the basic AL-31F) and there were plans for it to be installed on the Su-27SM, Su-27SM3, and Su-34.
For anyone that does not know, the AL-31FM1 has a thrust of 13500 kgf, compared to the 12500 of the AL-31F that originally installed on the Su-27S. An improvement of +1000 kgf / +8%. It also has a slightly lower fuel consumption.

12500kgf static with AB
Do you have a pic with the name?
weird
Do you know which journal/book this is from?
IIRC “Взлёт” picture was sent by Fantom2451 on ru-forum
Yeah, but the variant is the Su-34E. Also, the M1 should be easily swappable with the usual 31F, so it could be that they want to keep the M1 for themselves and export the basic version.
The brochure could be inaccurate. Or maybe it does indeed fly just with 31F.
Thx, will try looking for it.
