Su57 climbing - gaining speed, drop down, lost it from 1.5 mach to 0.88. Nice fly model.

[@abdulmismail]

So G/S, I'm assuming the mod for the Su-57 is based on something like the Su-27 or Su=33 but in order to give it the Su-57 characteristics, the mods will have to tweak certain things such as radar cross-section, thrust vectoring and the only difference is, you end up getting the same FC3 non-clickable cockpit.

[@abeljauregui9094]

@@abdulmismail the su-57 has its own flight model and powerplant model

[@AlphaLabsPro]

Flying against mods appears kinda pointless to me as none of which are based on reliable data, mostly because they are confidential and/or the lack of reliable sources (pilots, engineers). This usually ends up in arcade style super strengths without any relation to real world physics. In DCS this is easy to manipulate / fake as the flight model is based purely on data tables, not on complex aerodynamic calculations as e.g. in X-Plane.

@@ajay9429 Really depends on the pilots given unlike the American counterparts, the Su-57 will not hold your hand and tell you how to do everything. As such, much more comes down to the skill of the pilot themselves than the actual plane but yes, if the two came up against one another with capable enough pilots then the Su-57 would win such every day of the week.

[@aleksandarrudic3694]

I remember an interview with a MiG-29 pilot talking how hard for an ordinary civilian would be to understand how violent the experience of flying a fighter jet actually is. The training makes a pilot capable to handle these forces, but still many modern fighters can create and sustain forces and loads that even the best pilots cannot endure for more than a short time. Thus, I think the next generation of fighter jets that are going to become operational during the late 2020s and early 2030s (which is sometimes referred to as Gen 6 and sometimes as Gen 5++, and which should include the fully operational version of Su-57, MiG-41, an upgraded version of F-22, British Tempest, and similar) will be the last generation flown by human pilots. Further advances in engine technology, materials, etc. will inevitably make the fighter jets so powerful and capable of generating forces so violent that no human being can operate inside them.

[@weirdbritishperson9542]

Aleksandar Rudic they could make better ways to handle the G-force for the pilot like better oxygen and other things, if where making better technology’s then we might be able to make better counter measures for G-Force.

[@aleksandarrudic3694]

@@weirdbritishperson9542 Up to a degree certainly yes but ultimately the human body has some hard limits, and on the other hand AI is advancing rapidly. IMHO, it's a technological race of a sort between improving human and AI performances, which I think the AI will win. By that I mean AI designed for this specific task - I don't think we are that close to an AI of a human-like, general, high plasticity type (nor I really get why would anyone want to replicate a human-like intelligence in a machine when there are millions of genuine human beings sitting around unemployed). But an AI designed specifically to execute a narrow range of combat specific tasks as good as, or better than, a well-trained human, I think we are probably a decade or so from that, not much longer. Needless to say, that AI does not have to be unassisted, it can for example only execute combat maneuvers and select and engage targets, and tactical decisions can be left to a remote human operator.

[@grndiesel]

I know this is all purely hypothetical but there is a super-detailed RC model demo of the S57 in KZbin. It's giant scale and has all the same moveable control surfaces (except for thrust vectoring, I think). One thing that really jumped out at me in the RC model demo is just how much wing and control surface area the S57 has. At one point it performs a 180 descending turn as if it was on rails. It's basically just flicks from one direction to the other. The high wing area of the F22 no doubt helps there too, but the Russians seem to have opted for even lower wing loading when you compare the profile of the F22 to the S57. Its very interesting to see how military aerodynamic thinking seems to be moving toward low wing loading after so many decades of high wing loading. Lifting body fuselage designs seem to be what allowed this transition without a massive drop in straight line performance. I'm not expert, just someone who's interested.

Fun fact: The Air Force estimates that less than 8% of future air-to-air engagements will occur at ranges of less than 8 nautical miles. So go ahead and optimize your aircraft for the rare case instead of the common case, Russia.

[@VisibilityFoggy]

The doctrinal thinking behind the Su-57 (and Su-35, frankly) has more to do with domestic politics than warfighting. Putin's authoritarian regime relies on military strength as a propaganda mechanism to keep his administration in place. Military "toughness" equals domestic political support. Designing planes that can wow international audiences at air shows and make the citizens of the motherland feel good about their country is a major factor in the design of this plane. In reality, Russia relies on multi-layered air defense systems for its legitimate area denial purposes in combat. The U.S., on the other hand, largely relies on manned fighters because it can afford to produce more of them and, frankly, the U.S. has less territory to defend and oceans separating it from adversaries. So it makes sense from a political standpoint that Russia would design a plane that is superior in a fight that will likely never occur - it looks good to the world, engenders popular domestic pride and occasionally helps with some arms sales. The U.S. is more pragmatic in its combat aircraft design, focusing less on super-maneuverability and dogfighting (though the F-22 can do it essentially just as well) and more on sensor fusion and battlefield management. The real F/A-18s won't be tangling with Su-57s - they'll be firing HARM missiles at the S-300/400 SAM batteries while the F-22s keep the Flankers and Felons busy.

It’s just how adversarial countries behave. If the US did adopt a high manoeuvrability - dogfighting approach decades ago the soviets/Russians probably would of leaned more towards a stand-off, BVR program.

US couldn't even make an tank autoader for it's MBT. And this is significantly radio than making 3d trust vectoring engines on Military aircraft. Of course USA could do this if enough time and resources are committed

Guess unless you’re flying a F-22 everyone pulls a “Cougar” vs a SU-57.

[@WearyKirin]

The last thing I would do against a plane with more thrust and thrust vectoring is go vertical

Poor lil' Hornet.

Not 100% sur the results would ne the same in real life....;)

@@MrMolack Yeah, the hornet would be shot down a lot sooner

This was the Su-57 gently telling you as an F18 pilot "you should go home now 😀"

[@Shooting_Gaming_Channel]

Lol the way Su 57 started to pop flares when he came on GS FA-18 at 6 o'clock 🤣🤣

[@tomas7158]

Omg. Not often i laugh. I'm so sorry GS but when he became the shuttle 🤪🤣😂 awsome. Still he needed the su57 too k y but he was the ace.

Everyone: Haha Su-57 unbeatable Me, knowing it's a video game and doesn't accurately represent how this fight would actually go: :I

[@hansonyu8440]

I mean come on man, it is 5th gen, and hornet, is just 4th gen, the fact that GS had put up a decent fight against it is already good enough. If u wanted to see a fair fight, that would be either the F22 vs Su57, J20 vs Su57.

[@bigtony4930]

The Su-57 is fifth gen yes. It would still lose against an F-15.

[@doncalypso]

A Su-57 vs Su-57 guns-only dogfight would be interesting...

[@cakeadventure8412]

Is there a chance that you could make a vid flying an aircraft with thrust vectoring? I've noticed you made a few vids flying against them. That would be a really cool video to watch imo. Keep up the good work!

[@VisibilityFoggy]

I don't think DCS modeled the F-22's thrust vectoring. Actually, what would be *really* cool would be a mod featuring the F-16 ACTIVE variant which was developed with vectored thrust but never purchased by the USAF. That would be an insane plane.

[@brianwright9514]

Someone gave that SU-57 Mod rocket engines; it's thrust to weight ratio seems impossible

[@aleksandarrudic3694]

Could be possible with the new engines, I don't know exactly if and when they are becoming operational (they should have been already but the Russians had some serious issues with them, I really don't know the details (most likely the lack of money)). They should be on pair with the Raptor's engines in terms of raw power, which would give the Su-57 significantly better performance than the Raptor in terms of thrust to weight ratio, climb rate, and kinematic properties because Su-57 is a lighter aircraft, and its design is less concerned with all-aspect stealth so the constructors did not have to make so many aerodynamic compromises that the Raptor's constructors did have. When you see how the Raptor blasts off like a rocket and what that bird can do in terms of speed and maneuverability, anything "better than that", well I guess it's hard to comprehend. Currently, all operational Su-57s use basically the same engine as Su-35 (which is still, of course, a very powerful engine).

This is what the russian fighter doctrine is all about, pure dogfighting and maneuverability. This isnt too much of an exaggaration, especially since its very new era vs old era

[@gargean1671]

@@rubekipzz985 pure dogfighting and maneuverability.> Why "pure"? Yes, it plays a role in doctrine, but by far not major. Otherwise you won't see integration of 300km ranged AAMs and extremely powerful radars with wider coverage than on western planes.

[@rubekipzz985]

@@gargean1671 well the Russians always believed in supermaneuverability, these planes are meant to be dominant in a fox-2 dogfight. The sukhoi jet doctrine is all about the turn speed and low speed authority of control surfaces, so yes : pure maneuverability
