God forbid an Export version gets added with its proper Export weapons. (With exception of the “technilogical capabilty” thing with the KH-38) which even still the only reason the Russian players are mad about that is now they have to deal with them

Here’s another source for top speed that I didn’t use for that report since it already had enough sources, it agrees with the other sources for top speed
Here is su27sk manual, the reason why it’s 1400 is because of structural reasons
Interesting, so I assume this would affect all Flankers then?
Yeah. Just that one other person (sudo su) already out in reports for most other flankers in game already, I just made this one to cover the su30mkm specifically

Sad this is happening right when Japan gets it but it is what it is I suppose.
Well the other reports have been sitting for a year on accepted. I don’t expect this to be taken any action at all like the other ones, just putting it in in case the devs do decide to change their mind one day and that they have the proper sources to model the planes

Yes, but still, there is nothing about that, also in your test video you are flying it without loadout, of course it turns super light and even can hold in the air vertically in that condition
I have a question, have you ever read su-27sk manual? It’s ofc referring to 1400 kph as limit with no missiles
I have read only the 30SM upper in this discussion
Well as you can see from this page in the 27sk manual the max speed is greatly reduced when carrying ordinance. So that 1400 kph is referring to when it’s clean. And it’s the same for every other flanker that has that 1400 kph VNE. Su-35, su-30mk2,mk, su27sm etc all have 1400 kph vne. Su-30mki variants (su-30mkm, su30sm, su30mka, etc) is not special in this regard
I don’t know, in chace of more thrust for the Su-27 and Su-30SM, then both are using almost the same engines, the only difference is thrust vectoring, I have seen many different numbers, so I already don’t know about that speed

On the mention of thrust vectoring, I was confused seeing dev server videos where the Su-30MKM doesn’t have it’s thrust vectoring. It would be a good thing for Gaijin to implement the thrust vectoring as I have found videos where you can clearly see the engine nozzles of the Su-30MKM moving independently during maneuverers. Here is a video where it can be observed: https://youtu.be/0nSoW--T9R8?si=H9MGw5lagOj8_gsr. In short, I’m just hoping that Gaijin doesn’t forget to give it TVC.
Wait it doesn’t have tvc? If I had it I could report it… but I’m not grinding 800k rp on dev for no reason. I thought it had al31fp on dev server, I just took a quick glance at it when making my report for its top speed

@imacatboi877-psn @kizvy The Su-30MKM has been updated yesterday; TVC / engine 3D model, skin and textures were corrected.

So it has al31fp but no tvc? Makes no sense lol, probably just not finished configuring it or something

Yay :)
Either way, I hope everyone is exited for it’s addition to the game (I’m just finishing with rank VI for Japan)
