Sukhoi Su-27/30/33/35/37 Flanker series & Su-34 Fullback - History, Design, Performance & Dissection
Yep
What does FBW do here? Are you talking about that transonic instability?
If yes, I don’t think that is what is causing it, because both the Su-27S and Su-27SM got the same aerodynamical changes. Su-27SM received more thrust.
What I am talking about is about the small overperformance the FM in sustained turns at supersonic speeds. If I am correct, before the FM changes, Su-27S was underperforming at low and medium speeds and a little overperforming and high speeds. Now it is made to be better at all those speeds, but since there was a small overperformance at high speeds, it is now not small.
If you have time, I would like to hear your opinion on the FM change when you test it.
Comrades, did they really do the unthinkable? Did they buff the flanky?
Yeah, it feels a lot better now.
Yes they buff it, now feels almost like F-16, really.
Ok now i’m reaaaaaaaaaaally excited, i’m going to download the update right here right now

I need to test more, but it feels better than F-15C now definitely
Keep in mind my testing is with J-11, which is approx 500kg heavier than Su-27S
Su-27SM even gets a better engine now.

A tech mod I know told me this
not a direct buff, more like backend improvements to TVC behavior
But it seems there are still issues with TVC

It still lacks a functional radar and actual missiles, but at least it flies now.
At least it’s good news for the future flankers, be it Su35 or Su30.
Now if they could fix the Mig29 as well. I guess we’ll have to wait for an update to the Fulcrum family with a new variant.

I wouldn’t go that far.
Flanker (and many other aircrafts) need fix for radar scan pattern and that will be enough imo
Just waiting for this @Grimtax issue to actually pass to devs

MiG-29 needs war thrust setting added to the game.
I’m curious, what do you mean by that ? Do the N001 have access to other pattern than the current fixed one ? It’s one of my main issue with the SM since the SMT get both narrow and wider pattern which are very useful.
EDIT : oh I read the report and I see what you means. The scan rate is incorrect.
Bro is posting from a future where we have the SM3

I meant that the FBW will not allow you to overload more than 9 in the high-speed mode and 7 in supersonic mode
Wasn’t this improved on Su-35 and Su-30MKK?
Or am I remembering wrong
These aircraft have improved durability and there is no dip at transonic speed
