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

Are there any sources on how fast su-34 radar scans?

Any link on that. because even when it was called SM1 it suppose to use Su-35s stuff. Or before that when was called Su-30SM(D) the point was to use Al-41 engines. This is the most “modern” Flanker that gaijin could add. The latest new of it this years. Stated that the Su30sm2 will get the AL-41F-1S. And that the production will start next year.

SM2 is equipped with N035. I’d like to see your sources saying it isn’t. N011M is Bars radar that is in standard production. N011 was the first iteration that was mostly found on the Su-27M during testing.

AL-41’s have been seen in batches as well. Where are you getting your info?

I’m happy to be wrong, if what you’re saying is true about testing etc, but I have not seen anything like you’re saying.


anyone know what this will be for?
its stuff added to a bunch of radars, Su-27 included
part of 2.43.0.19

he does not have the N035, as long as there is no AL-41F engine, a new radar will not appear

So not enough power generation for N035?

Maybe dedicated button/preset for BVR radar mode?

this should be fixing the annoying behavior with switching off radar on hmd/acm to normal

i check this report in vain hope everyday since it was made - 7 months later still waiting lmao

yeah, unfortunately its been sitting there accepted for months and months with no changes for more then two update cycles now =/ It’s actually beyond me why they dont fix it too, its effecting basically all top tier jets not only the russian ones so you would really think it would be in their best interest to get it sorted quickly.

Thanks.

Makes sense, I thought the newest batch from KnAAPO had AL-41F’s though.

I think it’s a combination of small dev team and the necessity of dumping new content to generate quick profit, they are accumulating so much broken content that they have Very little time to fix all of them, it’s either that or pure laziness lmao.

I remember when Giovanex made the first attempt on fixing the su-27 and It took them 1 month to Just recognize the existence of his report, i was so angry at the time that i just gave up any hopes of the flanker being fixed but to my surprise they did it after getting massively shitted on by the community, it seems that this is the only way to get them to act (remember the review bombing).

So they are still testing the engine. But still make the SM2 without it. because they want more ground attack capable planes? The old guy also said that they increase the range of detection in the radar by 2time…How?

Put 4X power into radar?

without new engines?

Getting accepted doesn’t really have anything to do with the dev team. It is all (or mostly) dependent on whether a tech mod sees it and accepts it. Ever since Gaijin moved onto the new bug reporting platform the number of bugs has went up a ridiculous amount (I will try to find the number, but it was nuts), because of the ease of reporting it provides. There are so many garbage and low effort reports (or reports done in good faith, but still of low quality because of lack of knowledge experience). A lot of times reports just don’t get noticed and you have to ask a tech mod to look at them.

However, it should be noted that a major (or even key) reason is simply the number of bugs this game has. There is a shit ton of reports on small yet somewhat important bugs. Before, bug reporters would simply not reports small bug that is not game breaking and/or easily avoidable, because they would rather spend the time/effort or more important bug reports. Now that reporting is easier, a lot more of the smaller bugs get reported. While they are still important to report, it increases the overall time it takes any sort of bug to reach the devs.

I could’ve sworn I heard that there were new batteries in the SM, so I’d imagine perhaps even better batteries in the SM2? Maybe it can draw power better because of that?

The old man in the interview may have been referring to the SM2 once it’s equipped with the AL-41F’s.

Lastly, based on the condition of the airfield they were flying out of, and the sortie location, I think the age of the footage puts it at 2023. The news I’ve read from 2024 says they now have AL-41F’s, so who knows I guess.

I don’t understand what we are talking about here. Su-30SM2 is already undergoing modernization, AL-41 engines and avionics from Su-35 are being installed. In fact, two maximally unified aircraft. Identical engines and on-board electronics. Russia have already made more than 30 aircraft.
