One more year* before Gaijin actually decides to check the Su-30 FM. If they ever decide to even remember about it (like the MiG-29)

Typhoons top speed is mach 2.35. In game it can reach around 2.25 atm.

Are you confusing it with the Rafale? That one has a top speed of mach 1.8

The Su-30 was not even nerfed. It wasnt even modelled before hitting the dev server, somehow.

There is already documents that show it goes upto Mach 2.3 lol

now we get the brand new tupolev30 xd

We have Mach 2.0 quoted by the manufacturer.

We have mach 2.35 quoted by the germans.

We have Mach 2.3 to stop derailing and trying to make the typhoon look worse for no reason. We have stuff explicitly saying it does Mach 2.3 now stop it

Not trying to make the Typhoon worse. Confused why the manufacturer would play down the top speed.

Su-30SM(E) should be 1.75 mach, as stated by rosoboronexoirt
So, near to 1.8 wing rip
Reports not accepted yet

I wonder if I understand this right. The Su-30SM has a similar turn performance to an F-15E. With that said, F-15E beats it at time to speed lol

I wonder if statshark was updated with new data

The problem is the Su-30SM has thrust vectoring turned on at all times, which makes its energy retention horrible at lower speeds.

That graphic show the Su-30sm having a Similar FM as Mirage 2000 at the bottom above them its the Su-33.

Even if its thrust vectoring is off, its energy retention will still be terrible becuase of its FM and its weight.

How?

It has nothing to do with the TVC. The plane ATM its too heavy and as people has point out it use the old Oswald efficiency. People should cut it off with the TVC making the plane losing speed. All of that its Controlled by the FBW system. Ensuring the best performance or that its how it should work.

It was talking about the segment line at the bottom. In the solid line for turn both su-30sm and F-15e start about the same. But you can see how the su-30sm lose to the F-15e.
