No, we all have to provide painstaking evidence, Gaijin are well aware all of this is classified. Take the CAPTUR-M Radar should be the best mechanical Radar in the game. we cannot find data on scan speed so its a copy of the Blue Vixen from the 1980s!
I don’t disagree with the common sense approach but it has to be extended across the board.
Why didn’t Gaijin give the Swedish Gripen the new Radar, additional hardpoints and the improved engine?
Yes Russia have a had rough time for a few months now, prior to that they dominated R-27ER is still a threat at top tier.
The problem now is to me the Flanker is overperforming it doesn’t lose energy like a large aircraft should it turns and hardly bleeds speed.
It follows the G charts and it overperforms only at supersonic speeds, which was already reported but gaijin doesn’t want to touch the thrust and drag.
nah they are struggling now, especially the British ones they don’t retain energy they are underpowered and they carry far fewer missiles.
The Rafale is a far better rat fighter, the Typhoon and F-15E dominate BVR and the Su-27s come from nowhere wipe out 4 players with their ridiculous payloads.
Ironically the reason the CAPTOR-M underperforms is the same reason the Su-27SM radar is more garbage than it is in real life.
It’s more physics than common sense, aerodynamic parameters (aka Cl/CD polars) are only determined by shape and nothing else.
Because it didn’t need it until the last two updates where balance went all over the place with the F-15E.
The last time Russia was the best top tier nation is summer 2023 with MiG-29+R-27ER meta.
It’s over performing a bit at slightly below supersonic speeds, don’t worry that it will get reported by me if it was not reported already.
Still one can do so much with gaijin bug reports, I got pretty pissed after they answered in 100 different bs ways to an F-16A report (that made me lose a few hours of time) just to get in the end: “We don’t adjust low speed turn rate”
Well it would carry the powerful irbis e radar and it would have better engines with TVC… It would be too much for the game, next step will be the leaked su-30sm with the bars radar like somebody said, maybe with TVC aswell but i’m not certain
Su-30SM is probably going to be the next step. I’d prefer if we got what were the true equivalents design wise to the F-15C/E and F-16C/Gripen (aka Su-27M and MiG-29M). But people seem to want the 30sm more
Unfortunately i notice that fulcrum doesn’t have many fans, if only the soviets didn’t send monkey models to die in iraq…
Right now it’s the perfect timeframe for the mig-29m, it would be able to face these delta canards in wvr and would be pretty decent at bvr, they could even revise the old fulcrum and improve them a bit, maybe touch the instructor a lil bit.
imho it’s pretty ugly lol, the canopy is too high and big. The two I listed above are much better looking imho. Still anyone has their taste, what I’m worried about is that, since I sincerely hope we won’t skip straight to 30SM2, I think 30SM1 might be a downgrade overall compared to the Su-27SM flight performance wise. Weight is a lot higher and engines are pretty much comparable.
