SU-27 FLANKER IS INSANE | Extreme Maneuverability 

Just like the F-111 drop and disappear (Yes this was intentionally double cuz it’s Christmas)

*TY MarsFromAPhar for an awesome dogfight in the Eagle!*

I remember seeing Phly playing the tiger in WT for the first time and younger me always wanting to play this game. Here we both are with these Beasts in the air!

The flanker is so beautiful floating through the air man 😩 like a falling leaf

the SU-27s maneuverability doesnt really suprise me really, its always been known for the really good maneuverability

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 :)

Man, that epic dogfight and stuff like that is exactly why I keep playing WT. Aaaand yes, most of them end in exact way this one did...💀💀

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.

18:15 i just love the su 57 in war thunder

Honestly can’t wait for this update! Especially the SU-27! (Top 3 favourite irl aircraft.)

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).

I don't even play war thunder anymore, but it's still neat to see what all it has now. Crazy to think it will probably unironically have 5th gen aircraft eventually. Probably 5 years max

The fact that phantoms can fight this thing is crazy Gaijin need to increase max br for aircraft badly

How can a human make something so aesthetically pleasing and in the same time badass still baffles my mind !

Really enjoying this daily stuff, can't wait for a vid on a Grippen. Keep up and thank you for what you do😊

My grandpa used to fly this plane, but the first he flew it the engines failed and he was forced to eject. Once he was let to fly again he became a commandeer and commanded a small group of mig 21 and Su 27

Just seeing the flanker in action I can't wait for future content! The Eurofighter, Rafale and Su-37 Terminator are gonna be heavenly! 😍

IT'S FLANKERIN' IM GONNA FLANK ALL OVER THE PLACE

I like the part where he yelled "It's Flankin time" and then started flankin all over the place.

That Dogfight was sick, I would’ve loved to see that actual ending to it

If you want to dive into the aerodynamics of the Su-27 and why it can do what it can do there's an old aviation documentary i remember watching about it way back. It was an episode of "Wings of the red star".

Obviously VERY balanced compared to the f-15

In DCS I've actually pulled off a flatspin kill in a dogfight using the flanker. Just popped off an R-73 and no more viper.

that dogfight was absolutely insane!

Now this and the Mirage 4000 is what we want BABY. Thanks Phly

Hi! This is my screenshot, I'm very glad that you liked it and put it on the preview.

Imo after using the su 27 all day in the dev server, 6 r27 are way to much, in the sense you are not gona use them all without multi-locking, imo the best loadout are 6 R73 and 4 R27ER or even 5 R73 4 R27ER and 1 R27ET

him:"its using like diractional thrust or different engines Su27:"BRIJEARNE OO UKUCHI"

From what I have experienced on the dev server the gripen beats both the flanker and eagle in a dogfight of flight performance, (but that is from my judgments of versing them in the gripen so it could come down to the skill or skill issue of the enemy players

Before seeing this video: I realized in my mig-29 that if I turn the controls to realistic I can pull cobras at 700km/h it's pretty dope and worth a try.. but this gives me one more reason to get my HOTAS setup

i was at an airshow in moscow 2003. You know, safety rules for the flying performances are way lower than in the west. It was absolutly crazy what the russian aircrafts were able to do. Especially the Su30 MKI, its like the Su 27 with canards. It was like completly fuck physics lol

as someone whio was flying su27 in dcs , the war thunder doesnt appear same , its way more controllable at low airspeed and speeds up faster

the loadout this thing has is insane. 6 R-27ER is crazy. best believe that i will be using it to its full potential

Remember the Su-27 is even more maneuverable in real life. War thunder doesn't have 3D thrust vectoring like it does in real life

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.

This thing can face Tornadoes and Phantoms. The grind for the South African Gripen is going to be agony.

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.

8:22 the game engine didnt liked that lmao

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.

that last dogfight was a masterpiece

I request a video on the He 100! It's stupidly fast for 1.7, can hold 550+ km/h at deck no problem, excellent climber, only downside is it's engine likes to burn so keep an eye on the temp. Not too OP, and super fun! Bring it to a higher br for a challenge if you want (day 27)

war thunder fight clubs are something I did not know I need

I remember when we used to dream of this and play the user made f15

I look forward to seeing what crazy Top Gun shenanigans you pull off with this one.

this thing literally makes a cobra viable in a fight

*>queues Ace Combat 7 music* we're gaming now, boys

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.

EASILY the coolest dogfight i’ve ever seen

If the thrust vectoring nozzles are modelled then su27 will most certainly be perfect to fly

That was one of the best dogfights I've ever seen

Let’s all take it with a grain of salt. The Su-27 seems to be more complete when it comes to the flight model but still seeing these awesome aircraft is amazing!!!!

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

Can't wait for the SU-30 Flanker version.

So the f15 isn’t as outclassed as people say and that was a beautiful dogfight

idk how to say it better than this is the most beautiful phly video i have ever seen

with the Flanker war thunder just feels like Ace combat at this point

17:41 PhlyDad really dodged a missile coming from the front and from the rear at the same time🤯

Everybody gangster in their jet until T90M and Abrams learns how to fly to intercepted metal bird for General Shephard.

part from 14:46 to 17:15 is what makes me love War Thunder and this channel, truly beatiful 😩

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. The mirage 4000, now gets same amount of missiles, turns muuuuuch better than the su27, accelerates much faster than both the su27 and f15, and has the same amount of large countermeasures as the su27

Phly´s definition of "improntu landing" is pulling a cobra into a flatsping while pulling 10gs, and then he lands

Everytime I watch phly it feels like that one slipknot interview: "Plane.... Bug..... Booger."

Phly is Dancing with the Angels

That’s the funniest thing I’ve ever heared

yknow i love these big ass maps like the one in the custom

You are gonna love the Gripen. That thing is a modern day Mitsubishi Zero. The guns looks very easy to aim too.

The new howling sound is pretty cool not sure why they added it suddenly though

3:47 Flapperons (Elevons are delta thing).

I'd recommend flying in pilotage missions, no guns, no fighting, and youre free to do mock dogfights with anyone

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?

This is some Ace Combat belkan-esque sorcery

Told my self I would not play war thunder too much till the su 27 comes out , guess I'm back in full swing , my favorite jet is in the game

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

Sweet, I'll give it a test drive 3 years from now as I'll have to grind the entire ussr tree just to try it out, awesome 👌

People were expecting the Su-27 and F-15 to be balanced... The Su-27 was designed to destroy the F-15 and any other US plane at the time, nothing could defeat the Su-27 in the USA until the F-22 was put into service

the most beautiful fighter jet ever produced

I saw the Su-27 Flanker in person, it is quite literally bigger than some small houses!

They added a jet 11 years in advance to the f15 to compare, the bias is insane

Good to have you back phly

4 of the best IR missiles, 6 of the best radar missiles, and the best dogfighting performance... Hmmm very balanced

The SU-33 Is going to take the cake once it comes out 😎

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

18:15 yeah we are in the 5th generation update of war thunder, i see

I need Mihaly Su-30 skin for that beauty, ace combat 7 in war thunder🤣

Okay, he called this better than the F-15, bleep you

I’m kinda sad that they STILL haven’t added mist formation on the wings when pulling high gs

Phly's entry into the three-way dogfight reminds me a lot of Joey and Ross talking about Ross's threesome. "I saw a lot of stuff. Made a sandwich. Turkey, a little mustard."

THASSSS MEEEE PHLYYYYYYY I WAS JUST MESSING AROUND WITH THE F15 WOOOOO

clip of the year ... from 14:00 the music the turbines

The elevator aileron flap things, are known as Flaperons I believe.

THe release of my favorite series of aircraft is finally here.

Yes nothing like Phly trying to compare the F15 with the F14s flight model to a SU27 that probably has a proper flight model.

Remember guys the f15 looks good with fuel tanks but having them on in dog fights are bad they sliw your speed and turnrate

Phyls chat reminds me of my tinder game😂💀

Time to see people do the Cobra with the SU-27 in WT.

Gooosebumps at the end...

Now we need SU 30 and su 35 with TVC

Next update russia gets SU-57 with FOX-5000 missiles and US receives Aim 9 N.

the su27 is just the best fighter in game. The F15 really needs the AMRAAM's to dominate

cant wait to see all the su-27 cobra clips
