Although i prefer the mig29k i’d be satisfied with the su30
Sukhoi Su-27/30/33/35/37 Flanker series & Su-34 Fullback - History, Design, Performance & Dissection

That’s what i’m thinking aswell
Best CAS jet in the game, 3rd country is a stretch
It’s also pulling FAR more power on the later 9.41 alongside its weight loss.
Engines are still the same, though the canards could help to give an extra degree of stability at low speeds and high alpha
Seeing as Su-30s do full backflips and Su-33s have been documented to breach 120dg… I don’t quite see the issue with a full disregard for realistic tolerances leading to higher performance.
MiG-29M/K/35 are heavier than regular 9-12/13.
Su-33s engines has emergency mode giving a bit more power for carrier take-off

You’re right on that, for some reason I was thinking of the M vs the K, not the other way around
Common sense, the Su-30 does it with thrust vectoring and the Su-34 can’t do Cobra at all

Which aid… How? 600kg of total thrust increase is effectively nothing when that’s offset by a few hundred gallons of fuel.
Can you state any difference it would have on gameplay?
All gen 4 fighters in the game have overrated thrust with the exception of the MiG-29, which has underrated thrust.

The Su-30M doesn’t have thrust vectoring?
“they didn’t do it at maks so it’s incapable of doing it at all”
I’m talking air RB…
And yes it is a stretch, when you compare what ussr has at top tier, it’s far from being the best, yet still somewhat competitive
Su-30MKK,M2,MKV,MK2,K,KN
have no thrust vector
Thrust-vectoring Su-30s are the Su-30SM, MKI, MKA, and MKM.
What advantage will Su-33 have compared to Su-27SM?
Not much. Pulls harder thanks to canards and carrier based (which is basically a SIM thing anyway)
Lower stall speed, because of carrier adaptation its wing area has increased, and canards are there to help low speed stability. In War Thunder look at the Su-34 for reference, I bet Gaijin will make it pull insane maneuvers.
In pretty much every other way it is inferior to the Su-27SM. It has a worse radar, cannot fire R-77, is heavier and has lower thrust-to-weight ratio, and worse RWR.
And only has 48 countermeasures.
