Sukhoi Su-27/30/33/35/37 Flanker series & Su-34 Fullback - History, Design, Performance & Dissection

Nu uhh.

For me its the J-10.

That’s a fair point. I don’t doubt that the Su-27 (and many vehicles in the game) perform(s) very different from real life, be it too good or too bad.

This is the best video regarding that matter

Hello everyone.
Could you please help me to understand if it is bug or normal for R-27ER/ET AAMs.

Case #1. R-27ER
Target was about 15km away. Tried to do notch, but the lock was stable all the time.
As the result - R-27ER went way below the target and did not hit.

Case #2. R-27ET
Missile blowed behind the target.
Looks like trigger that measures the distance was not quick enough to initiate missile explosion.
As the result target was not destroyed nor even any damaged.

R-27ET Case



  1. what was the altitude of the target? if he was too low something called multipathing will cause the missile to miss
  2. it likely lost lock and self destructed because warthunder’s IR handling is fugging bullshit

i feel an argument can be made for the upgraded engines to be given to the SM now the 15E got its engines. it wouldnt help as much but ill take every little bit at this point.

About 200-300m above the ground. I know about this issue with low altitude.

No, it did not. It blowed right behind the target.

then for both cases, simple answer.
you got gaijined

Well, these issues happened one right after another.

bold of you to assume the snail has limits if it comes to cucking you out of kills. send the replay

Looks like it was notched lost track and couldn’t reacquire.

does anyone have anything that gaijin will actually accept as a report if it comes to the 27SM’s engine upgrade
if not i suppose ill just rip through a few more cans of hopium for next update. still waiting for the su 33/30 or mig 31

How often are you feeding the snail?

Su33 will suck, it has no arh missiles. J15 is lighter and much more modern missiles

Considering we cant even get Gaijin to adjust the Challenger 2’s turret rotation speed based off a video of it doing a 360 degree rotation, I doubt we can do the same in this case.

Unless bias is involved.

Oh no don’t get me wrong, i was just pointing out the flaws because some ppl still think there’s a possibility of this atrocious, piece of shit, lazy made fm being accurate, i don’t believe the devs will do anything in the short term.

There’s no such thing for any country ingame.

bug

You mean like our reports requiring 2 primary sources to just get anything passed to development, but some rando on the Russian forum is able to get a bug report passed and implemented within 48 hours using only a very vague statement about a British aircraft, in a US document vehicle that was poorly translated/interpreted, super-ceding multiple primary sources that stated otherwise?

The bias isn’t about any particular nation getting any particular buffs or nerfs, the bias is who’s reports get prioritized, and only if they suit the developers narrative and idea of “Balance”

Tell that to our su27 fm report that took 1 month for them to even recognize its existence, or the report made towards the f5 overperformance but got ignored because it has been “too long since its addition”

If i cherrypick enough i can make gaijin look biased to absolute any country.

It doesn’t have to be a new top tho. Besides, with the state of R-77 as of now, it barely an issue (unless you play aggressively, spamming them via HMD targeting)
