There’s also the mig29m which would have a pretty good climb rate, radar and r77s, but judging how things are going yeah they might just add the SM2 and then the 35.
Sukhoi Su-27/30/33/35/37 Flanker series & Su-34 Fullback - History, Design, Performance & Dissection
For the Eurofighter there’s always that proposed 14 Missile loadout that was shown in a render once. Gaijin could always fall back to that one if they feel it’s necessary

Thing i have read not specific for Flanker. Its that TVC should always being ON. the FCS should control what angle TVC use. And its usually a lot more beneficial to use both TVC and control surface. Than just control surface alone. So yea a TVC plane has Better ITR and STR than a non TVC plane.

Problem is it’s not official sources and as of yet no one has seen the pylons for it.
There is also kind of no need with missiles like Meteor having a high PK.

Excuse my ignorance, but are the low speed manueverability complaints of su30 in combination with the aoa limiter off? Or is it just the flight model itself

aoa limiter off/ manual control for sim
if you get into a slow speed dogfight you need to turn the aoa limiter off because otherwise your nose would just drop down
Unsure if this has been mentioned already, but I noticed the Su-30 when carrying R-27s on the inner wing stations uses APU-470 instead of AKU-470 ejector launcher so I opted to make a report on visual model.

How heavy is su-35s?
around 18 and 19 tons. my guess its 18600ish.
It is more like 19.5.
Sukhoi claims 25,300kg in “normal takeoff weight” with 2x R-77 and 2x R-73. Assuming that is a fuel percentage of 60% (internal is 8000kg), you get 25,300 - 4,800 = 20,500 kg empty with the aforementioned ordnance.
RVV-AE is 175kg x 2 = 350 kg. R-73 is 105kg x 2 = 210kg.
20,500 - (350 + 210) = 19,940 kg.
Of course to get the true empty weight you subtract oils, ammo, pilot, some other stuff. We can safely assume it is 19.5 tons or so.
Of course this is generous, assuming 60% instead of 50% fuel load.

Not that it would matter a ton, but Su-35’s Irbis-E can guide two R-27ERs simultaneously.

Primary source BTW (It’s the manufacturer)
No. Maximum remove double pylons (-2 R-77-1)
Yeah, it still gets inner pylons. Although how many R-77-1 will that be with full KH38s?
4 (2 on outer wings and 2 between engines)
SO max will be like 4 * R77-1, 2 * R73, 6 * KH38s, and then 1 * grom or 1500kg?
Where do you all get these numbers from
Su-27/33/30 can take around 9400-9700 kg internal
Su-35 takes around 11300-11500
Without Grom-1 or 1500kg if you to take away the double rack
That would be 6 R-77-1s then, just KH38s are fine, although I do like a glide bomb into a capturing spot.
Vert stab fuel tanks?
