Yeah that’s why I said b4 that it’s only meant for mk, not mki variants. And no su30sm brochure shows kh38 as options while plenty of su35 brochures do. IMO it’s no use taking up to gaijin, they do as they please so it’s whatever atp

plus just because one has hardware (shares the same pylon as Kh-29) doesn’t mean it’s plug and play too, I doubt it able to use it

I’ve never heard of optical MAWS, 3 types I know of are radar, IR, and UV.

Time for some ult history skins in the marketplace East Japan 89
I feel like its just a mistake, pretty sure its UV with 240-280nm wavelength

That’s what I thought as well… but are different kinds of ir maws modelled in game? Is it worth reporting?

If it would be a different jet, with differen loadout it would be completely ok, but untill it’s copy+past+add wester features, it doesn’t really look fair.
Here’s export brochure for su-30mki type fighters
Max speed looks like it should go down to 1350 kph on deck, rn it can go around 1500 kph on the deck
Judging by those documents it should have 12500 kts on it’s AL-31FP engines, also the Su-27 should have the same amount on it’s AL-31F engines, which are the same as the FP, but without thrust vectoring. And by all that Su-27SM should receive it’s 13500kts on each engine
That’s bench thrust, you’re confusing installed vs uninstalled thrust.
Here is the engine chart for al31f. As you can see installed thrust is lower than the rated bench thrust
I see in the image there is written it’s (стенд) uninstalled thrust, which is judging by the image, a little bit more then 12k
has nothing to do with allies or politics but ok

Okay but its not about russia and japan, its about russia and malaysia. And considering they exported the su-30 in the first place, its not like they’re going to be much less friendly then say the US and sweden.

I know its Russia and Malaysia, but in which country tech tree will be the Su-30MKM? And after all that, if one country can have Su-30, F-15, F-16, JAC-39 and F-18 soon, where is the point of Russian, American, Sweden tech trees? Every nations should have unique weapons and vehicle. I love WT and i want it to be better, not doing clones in other nations that better than original.

So if russia were to get an F/A-18 through some subtree somehow, you’d be opposed to it getting 120C-5s? Or would you support the MKM having 77-1s if only malaysia was in china?
Aircraft getting compatable armaments is the norm in warthunder, there’s no reason russian vehicles should be any different.
I do agree japan has a very enviable lineup of vehicles it can get from other nations, but its not the only country with so, even if it is arguably going to the be strongest case of it in the future.

the problem isn’t even about which nation or which tech tree Su-30 will be, the real problem is what weapons he will get, Russia/USSR players will not be happy that other nation took best thing they got.
