[@razgriz4978]

The Su-27 is certainly a marvel of aerodynamics, which I believe is what gives this jet its incredible AoA performance. A combination of leading edge flaps, leading edge root extensions, a lift-generating fuselage, and just a wide area thanks to its size help give the Flanker the performance that we see. Edit: The manuvering flaps and very powerful engines also contribute. Its a formidable maneuvering package for its size :)

Thanks so much, Phly! You remind me of watching your video 4 years ago and really want to start playing War Thunder. Now watching this video, it shows the game can be fun, not just ALMOST FUN, despite the painful long grinds, the emptyness of no new content after reaching the end of the tech trees, and the salty gameplays of all these years. The last dog fight/air dance part really gives me a good goosebump (also KUDOS to the BGM).

[@ConnorGadson]

A tip for using ‘full-real controls’: you can significantly reduce the amount of bouncing you get in the controls by binding the ‘SAS functions’ key. It’ll let you turn on your stability augmentation systems which are incredibly helpful for stabilizing the flight characteristics and getting a smoother ride. You lose a little bit of AOA capability with SAS set to dampen but what you lose you make up for in precision and stability. You won’t stall or rip wings with SAS on unless you really screw up. The “cobra button” is just the switch to turn off SAS.

Wait until you find out the su27 irl and in DCS has 2 control buttons, 1 makes the su27 turn harder and releases the locks to turn at a higher aoa and the second, turns off all flight stabilization and makes it into a turn machine if used correctly

[@RyzawaVT]

The low speed maneuverability could be because they have the (seemingly automatic) thrust vectoring modeled, just not animated. The Mirage 2000 and 4000 should still be able to beat it in a dogfight though, the flanker just has better handling but not quite as good of a turnrate.

[@SATORI_111]

Su-27 never had thrust vectoring though

[@lukewhitehouse4103]

Su-27 was designed to be "super manoeuvrable" the best dogfighter. The F-15 was designed to be the best all round aircraft, yes it can dogfight and yes it can BVR but with equal pilots the Su-27 will win most the time in a slow speed guns only fight. Its like being upset because your Spitfire is out turned by a Zero

[@RyzawaVT]

​@@SATORI_111 Ok I looked it up and some of the later variants did have thrust vectoring, just not the one in game. The su-30 and su-35 also had it. So technically the 27 did have it, just not the early ones.

[@SpectrumSnake]

It's definitely the best looking jet in the game by a good margin. I want to see the more modern paint schemes, the Ukrainian paint schemes, and the dark J 11 paint schemes for the Chinese. Although a low fuel state Su 27 that's flying naked is gonna outperform a loaded F 15 11/10 times unless the pilot has no idea how to do anything. I have a hard time understanding why that's impressive.

[@jondaniels61]

Dont let the russophobic US military worshippers lie to you, a loaded SU 27 will outperform the F15 and pretty much anything else except other Russian aircraft, and maybe the F22. Strength of US aircraft lies in the fire control and guidance and things of that nature.

[@Gopnik57]

I love the Flanker, my favorite right after the 31 but its just too forgiving in WT it can sustain too much wingload and a inverted flatspin should be a death sentence for the Flanker but in WT she just can recover i mean its dev server and things are up to change but knowing the snail they wont adress it

[@SrMissileMonkey]

Also, expect several Eastern Blok countries to now get the Various Flanker Variants as well.

[@matthewbartos2971]

What’s crazy is how much this update show a difference in the American vs Russian doctrine. America never expects a war right over them but instead well beyond visual range so they focus on sensor arrays which gaijin didn’t put in the F-15. Russia focuses on a war right above them and needs hyper-maneuverability for up close dog fights so Russia definitely got the best plane for War Thunder’s game play.

[@bdawg8810]

Everything Russian is always better on war thunder it seems

[@bdawg8810]

Buuuut I do prefer the su27 over f15, looks better imo

[@AlexandroneF]

If Gaijin starts focusing on beyond visual range combat, the top tier jet gameplay will be even more frustrating for most players. And even if they did decide to commit to it, they probably would’ve been forced to add MiG-25 or MiG-31 at some point and these planes are impossible to balance.

[@machinech183]

Gaijin went out of their way to gimp the hell out of the F-15 Frankenstein they gave us. Primarily because they aren't ready to cash in on putting and end to the R-27ER meta yet.

Mirage 4000 has the best dogfight performance right now, followed by F-16 and Gripen. Su-27 is right behind i'd say, but it has a better kit, so it might perform better overall. We'll see.

[@Marco-cg7fb]

them Mirage 4000, just got added another 2 IR missiles and an extra SARH missile. It's now capable of bringing out 8x magic 2's and 1 super 530.

Usually new equipment is supplied with new weapons. In theory, the F-15 could get something like aim-120, and the su-27 r-77 (RVV-SD/AE). Another possible new product is the R-27P/EP. this already familiar missile has a new guidance head (9B1032), with semi-active guidance to the source of radio waves (to the aircraft radar). Sounds even cooler than a rocket with its own little radar. But I don’t know what they can add to the F-15 instead of the aim-120....Probably a new version of the aim-7...maybe you have some guesses? Обычно с новой техникой поставляют новое вооружение. В теории, Ф-15 может получить что-то вроде аим-120, а су-27 р-77(РВВ-СД/АЕ). Ещё вариант возможный новинки - это R-27P/EP. в этой уже знакомой ракете стоит новая головка наведения(9Б1032), с полуактивным наведение на источник радиоволн(на радар самолёта). Звучит даже более круто, чем ракета с собственным маленьким радаром. А вот что могут там добавить на Ф-15 вместо аим-120 я не знаю....Вероятно новая версия аим-7...может у вас будут предположения?
