Sup guys, I have never really talked in this forum specifically, I hang out more in the MiG-29 and MiG-23 forums mainly, and we all know the MiG-29 is underperforming but we don’t really know precisely why as it’s probably a mix of reasons.
So I was wondering if you guys had a good idea on why the flanker is a flying airbrake like the 29?
Also, if anybody has it, do we have flight manuals for Su-27s? Never really seen those, but I’ve seen them for the 23 and 29.

Yes, Su-27SK flight manual is available in internet.

I don’t understand it as well as other people in the thread, and hopefully someone can give you some more detailed descriptions of the problem, but from what I gathered from the discussions while watching from the peanut gallery is that the flanker’s engines overperform in certain conditions which prompted gaijin to hamfistedly just dial the plane’s drag WAAAAY up so that it would fit some graph curve and the side effect of just dialing up the drag instead of properly fixing things is that the Flanker bleeds all of its speed if the pilot blinks too hard.

Does it have an EM diagram in it?
No 6 R-27Ts or 8 R-27R/ERs
What’s S25LD I assume that’s like a laser designated S25?
Yep
How can you prove authenticity of this picture?
The R-27T can’t be suspended at the 11th and 12th point
Moreover, the heat-resistant lining is not the entire length of the stabiliser like the Su-35.

Do you know why AIR to air missiles can’t be suspended in the space between the engines?
The Su-34?
iirc its because they block the fov of the seeker head.
Hmm, that sounds like it makes a lot more sense.
I’ll try to inform myself more, thx.
I assume they meant radar missiles like how the Su-27’s can.
radar missiles between the engines on su34
Because the mounts are not designed for AKU-470/170.
was just asking because in the shooting range it showed it with radar missiles between the engines but in the loadout, it didn’t have those missiles between the engines.
It’s Gaijin, don’t look for common sense.
