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

Gotcha, is low speed handling better ??
iirc it was on the verge of stalling during low speed loops

It is much better, less speed bleed makes it very satisfying. It’s possible to dance in the air around your enemy, a beautiful sight i’d say.

The only issue is the supersonic overperformance but laziness won’t allow the devs to fix it.

nope

Yeah, gaijin tends to make everything overperform by a good metric or the other way around, at least it’s a good change ;)

Thats how most people who dont know expect the flanker to fly

in war thunder canards gives some kind of superpower for the planes that have it

And this is how it must fly.

i’d say, many planes need solid supersonic performance in ARB because it’s often just hit and notch, not a 1v1

Sure, but N011M is better than N011 is what I’m saying.

Not really. Su-30SM is just the domestic version of the MKI. It’s Bars N011M and AL-31FP’s. SM2 is N035 Irbis and AL-41F’s.

I think we could see Su-30SM as the next big Flanker addition, then Su-37 (assuming they let it be a TT), then Su-35S and Su-30SM2.

I’m not a big Fulcrum guy, so I don’t really think about them being added, but I think we’re going to get another one next year. If I was betting on the next big three additions to the USSR/Ru line next year, it’s going to be Su-30SM, MiG-29(M/K/whatever is PESA/AESA advanced), and the Su-30M or something filler-ish, and probably in that order. I don’t think we’ll get Su-37 or Su-35S or Su-27M next year. I only say not sure on the Su-27M because I kind of think Gaijin might not add it, and if they do, probably as an event or premium vehicle.

So do I :)

I would be quite happy even if we get a new fulcrum that behaves well in the next update.

It’s a step forward !

except US fighters have ~0.86 like papers suggest. So it’s another excuse.

U really did try to load such a long video, this is like 180p quality lol.

lol forum file size limit is wild, i’m surprised he managed to post even a 30 sec 180p video

Last time I had to post 9 different videos to keep the limit.

just upload to YT then post

Su-35 basic

New pre-order pack premium rank 8 for soviet/russia in the future, my guess

Yes, I know.

Seems about right to me.

No, SM2 updated N011M ( More range, can use R-37M ) updated RWR, IFF and still AL-31FP.
AL-41 only testing

The pain of compressing a video to a 4mb max.
