Su-27 In War Thunder : A Basic Review

Checking out the Su-27 in War Thunder. This thing is a monster in air combat, and I was genuinely surprised how effective it ended up being.

==============================
I'm all over the place!

Gonna be honest I have almost 30, 000 matches, am top tier in every air tree and I gain effectively no new knowledge from your videos but I watch almost all of them all the way through just because it's satisfying to hear you explain stuff.

[KaguyasBeat]

When going through the Soviet line and hitting rank VIII... I see this as the no brainer choice since missile loadout is generally the most important thing at top tier. You can straight up make this the first top tier Soviet plane you get and have the best possible missiles right off the bat and 10 of them at that. Makes going for the MiG-29 seem so underwhelming now.

08:00 its funny how they still have not fixed this radar stuck bug since the introduction of the F-14A.

[solowingborders]

I have both the F-15J and J-11 and honestly, I prefer the F-15 in pretty much any situation, it just suits me more as a player. It's nice to see many jets at top tier actually being viable options. The Gripens scare me more than the Su-27 to be honest.

I quite enjoy your videos Tim and they're very informative so keep up the good work!

I wasnt expecting the jet to have Indonesian Air Force paint job on it at 2:16

Thank you for showcasing, my Indonesian friends would love to see it & I will definitely use your videos for it!

I think only you showcases skins like this, its very helpful.

I just uninstalled WarThunder today, a lot of the changes to game recently has mad it lose it's appeal for me and I'm taking a break from it... I'm not taking a break from your content though, you do good shit Tim. Keep it up man!

Edit: WarThunder is the only game that does this kind of simulation and does it well.

Yeah, there's Arma, but it's a different kind of game entirely. WarThunder is a game that is, as far as I'm aware, the best at what it does so far. I uninstalled because the top-tier of the game has become a cluster-fuck of epic proportions and I don't want to put my time into the game while it's in this state.

Even Low Tier feels janky and poorly balanced occasionally. I would really like them to focus down on QoL and Balancing instead of adding new Meta defining and breaking vehicles that will be very difficult to balance. Like how difficult the Maus was and is to balance for them in ground RB.

They do these changes every couple of years and I uninstall/reinstall every once in a while because it's a game that just has no other competition in what it does.

As a ground main I don't play much Air RB, so I find your reviews extremely useful as they inform me as to which aircraft I should take the time to grind and play for best results as CAS and my limited time playing Air. Thank you.

[volatile]

The canard variants of the flanker are, bar none, some of the best looking aircraft to have ever existed

[jcdenton]

They called me crazy for going down the attacker/sukhoi line, then this got added and I immediately got it!

[youssefgamal]

Im in love with new jets' sounds
Also great video as always

[Noharris_]

One of my top 3 favourite aircraft so I’m just glad to finally see it and play it.

[Panocek]

7:48 - I see radar bug is still alive and well

[enjoyer]

Another great review, time to watch and enjoy

[litrize]

Love your content as always Tim, Thank you for doing your best to keep up with it while you are so busy. Out of all the content creators for WT I think yours are the best.

[cannonfodder]

If previous Soviet aircraft were criticized for having too little fuel, the Flanker simply went the opposite route.

In a hypothetical alternative hustory where the East Germans got the Flanker, a reunification..I am sure the Luftwaffe would have held on to and upgraded them far more than their Fulcrums.

A gorgeous bird. 😍

[dosidicusgigas]

Thanks for the video Tim, you have the best informative WT content by far

[alaskan_bigfoot]

great video, but man seeing the current missle performance makes me glad i gave up on top tier awhile back, i can only imagine matches are down to 3 minutes by now.

[Taxxxic]

Tim made this jet look so sexy. I was waiting for this vid and not disappointed

[shinobu]

man i feel so dirty playing this plane right now, when i unlocked the r27er within an hour I had back to back 7 kill games then back to back 3 kill games then the next game is when i finally got shot down but not before taking 2 with me. fucking crazy

[mightyzuis]

I absolutely love this jet I can wait till the day they add the thrust vectoring variant and the naval based variants.
