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

Dont need to add newer stuff to the SMT, after theyve fleshed out the SU line more they can go back snd add some stuff, maybe MiG-29M premium and MiG-29K/MiG-35 tech tree.

But id like a way for them to add all the ordinance these aircraft are capable of using. Even if the Grom-1 is quite strong id like to see it because it would open up some opportunities in sim that USSR tree simply hasn’t had access to until these more modernized machines. Su-30SM and onwards will truly be the staple of Soviet tech tree multi-role.

I personally wouldn’t mind if the Su-34 got the R-77-1, at least it would be able to defend itself a bit better on bombing/CAS runs

Mig-29SMT would be nice if it got the R-77-1, considering how the FM feels very sluggish compared to other tree contemporaries

I’d prefer it to be tt but If they add 29m premium i’d buy even though i already got the soviet tree

You seem to be right but why wasn’t horizontal limit extended to ±80 from ±70 if electrical steering was upgraded from ±40 to ±45. Either a typo or something else.


Vertical it’s ±40-45°

(Will update with new available information)

Targeting pod on Su-30SM confirm

As well as quite a lot of ordinance

R-77-1 confirm

Every aircraft which have AOA limiter in game will get it [the "AOA limiter “OFF button”])

And this comes from Ru stream:

Edit: ah you already post it. I didnt notice

Su30 Will be absolute insane, i believe they are going to remove These r-77-1 unless If the improvement over the og r77 really isn’t that significant (like 10km more range or so)

If that’s the case they aren’t going to be live (i think)

Oh great i wake up and what i see is another fictional flanker. Seriously, is it that hard to make it historicaly accurate?

Love the Sukhoi but it is not fair they get the first thrust vectoring when IRL there was a plane doing it a few decades before. (Harrier)

The Harrier is lacking in every performance metric and now they give the Sukhois and Migs the first thrust vectoring

Just not right nation

Its a plane literally in about half the nations in game.

Please point which MiG actually does or will have “Thrust vectoring” in the game
