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

Su-34 22.5 and Su-30 ~18.8

By the way this gives more credibility to your theory that the flanker has too much drag and that the engine is overperforming @Giovanex05

bbbbut cobra 180 deg = super maneuverability 🤓🤓🤓

Warthunder wiki is mostly bs, 29M is far superior to the SMT. The SMT was born as an attempt to include some of the avionics and festures of the M into older A airframes.

Date has everything to do with how much information you can find about this stuff.

It would entirely depend on how gaijin models it lol

I was comparing Su-27fm to what Su-30 would be… of course the Su-30 will be better than the Su-34 lmao.

Again Su-27 is lighter and has same thrust

Bu bu bu but canards!

Canards give advantages only on large AOA

the canard was in compensation for heavier radar it gets, which also complemented with double wheel nose gear (although canard omitted on Su-35S as the TVC (also better thrust from AL-41F1S) itself already able to solved the heavy radar issue)

We have now MiG-29smt 2014.
And Su-30MKI it’s 2000 year plane

Is this a lift/drag chart for Su-27?

more like Su-30, cus of canards

And the bug report for this is where?

Just because Eurofighter is on the horizon people go for thrust vectoring? Meh.

At 14.0 base Eurofighter and Rafale should be fine.

Thrust-vectoring might just mean even more speed bleed. I worry about how Gaijin might screw them up.

I’m 100% sure they Will lol

Thrown into the trash can as gaijin is satisfied with its current performance cuz it follows the g charts

Because many variants of the SU-30 get a FLIR pod.

The Russian version, in theory, would get the T220. But that seems a long shot, because Gaijin doesn’t seem to want USSR being able to multirole as effectively as other TTs.

I keep on reading about Su-30M2. Does it actually exist?
It might be a decent multirole for Russia.

There’s this: Sukhoi Su-30M2 Flanker-G: An Idea realized way too late

Oh god… It’s still using the N001 according to this post.
Granted I don’t know how accurate that is.
