also as i’ve somehow passed “2 battles barrier”, wanna join the happiness that came along Soviet FM fix. didn’t expect quite significant part of abroad audience to stand for SU’S unique features, though i’ve seen how much Seek and Karma were talking about that. truly inspires

Well, we all knew that the former FM is BS.
Flanker familiy aerodynamics is crafted from decades of experience.
In War Thunder it was a complete farce before this update.

They refuse to acknowledge the issue with drag.
And besides, most aircraft in War Thunder are overperforming so I don’t see that much of an issue.

It would be nice for them to spend a day or two to actually fix the plane by adjusting its drag/thrust to make it stop overperforming in supersonic speeds but since they are dumping a shit ton of content they now also have to fix the eurofighter/rafale while preparing the rushed content for the next update lmaoo

Unfortunately, I think they are dead set on the drag.
Even after such pushback they did not investigate it further.
It’s difficult to convince them otherwise.
true. i wish Soviet 80-90s being kinda common to Mirage, excellent in defending capabilities while some Western jets, US specifically, would focus on some kind of hit&run. speaking of now, i honestly think the only thing Su lacks is good radar. 73s somehow were really fixed from spinning out in many cases, speed bleed became less of an issue, and now it’s good mid-close range fighter with it’s unique gameplay (though 12 missiles, along >12 people teams is a bit overkill)
well, at least good turn on supersonic speeds helps in defence
Good radar will come soon for the Flanker.
SU-30SM was leaked and that uses Bars radar instead of Mech.

i mean current SUS family except 34)) but anyways i can adapt to current one, because it’s sufficient for lighting up targets and all Flanker’s missiles are usually launched at HMD range
Yeah, I don’t really use any other radar mode other than HMS PD.
Flanker family have a nice future in war thunder, but i want to see the fulcrum back. It has been a long time since the last variant.

What fulcrum can they even add? THe mig-29m? That would be fantasy flight model

And besides, the flanker series clear the mig 29 series
Not really, there’s enough info available to make a decent vehicle, we compiled them on this thread Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29M (9-15) - what the fulcrum would have been

I just hope that the Fulcrum gets its wartime thrust setting. MiG-21 and MiG-23 have it currently iirc.

It depends on the variant tbh, mig29 got his bad reputation from monkey models in Iraq and poor maintained ones in Serbia being swarmed by the usaf modernized fighters

I fear it’s going to take a long time for them to improve the fulcrum. I consider this sad cuz it’s my absolute favorite plane but well, it is what it is…
