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

oh no, this video is not mine, @FeetPics did it, lol
I was just curious if this would be considered a valid test to make a bug report

Is not real footage.
Is just Lock On - Flaming Cliffs 2

Just throw a bunch of filters and render it at 240p and you have ‘‘real footage’’ 😎
He also has other fake hud vids, this one of Su-25…

Yikes… thats tough

He did reupload with an actual real vid though

ooo bless squish nice

Not entirely related to the flanker specifically but any word on the R-73? People have been reporting that thing spinning out of control for over half a year now and I still haven’t seen or noticed a change

Mostly said that because the thing we got in dev was closer to the -1 than the normal R-77 since it had the loft stuff and all

The performance is too low imo and likely attributed to them meeting the range conditions by applying loft instead of reaching the same time to target without.

oh, I didn’t check the original video or the account of whoever had posted it, just the video that feetpics where he made the comparison, my mistake for not checking, but it looks like he posted another one containing a “real” video now

any thoughts? it looks real now but idk lol

This second test I shared, done by @FeetPics , has another video as a source and on this other channel there is nothing related to video games, could it still be fake? yes, but this one contains more things than the other, even in the original video we hear warnings about (maximum angle of attack) outside of communications between pilots

here is the video he used to make the comparison, it seems real to me…but idk

But this video from Su-27SM HUD, not Su-27S

Does su27sm have any structural differences from su27S? or better engines? idk tbh

Yes, they have better engine AL-31F M1 with 13.5t thrust

no

I don’t know how big the difference would be, in the case of the su27 bug reports that we have in war thunder, people used the su27sk flight manual(in this case this would represent the j11) which is 600kg heavier than the su27S…soo Idk, it might be acceptable to compare the performance of the su27sm with the su27S

Yes, this one looks real to me too.
I chatted about it with Squish yesterday.
