new SU, hopefully not pre-suggested

[[=TC=]nuetron]

*admins, i searched for ths before, if its been suggested before, sorry*
I suggest that the MEC or Chinese have the SU-27 "Flanker"
1)this will be an efficient fighter
2)it will be the equivelent to the F-35(when it comes back)
-it is a mulit-role fighter/bomber/interceptor (strike fighter)
-it can carry laser guided missiles and bombs like the F-35
3) Even if the MEC dont recieve this, the chinese should

"The acquisition of Su-27, after China had attempted for years to develop the J-10 aircraft with equivalent technology to perform similar functions, demonstrates a lack of confidence in domestic industrial capabilities.
In 1991 China purchased an initial batch of 24 SU-27s for about $1 billion which were delivered in late 1992 and based at Wuhu Air Base..."

4) when you create the Russian team, they wont use the MiG-29 since they cant afford it, they use the SU-27, so...... the Flanker will need to be in PR sooner or later
*once again, i didnt see it suggested before so if it was, sorry*

could be great in PR vs new Brit and US fighters.

Sorry to be an ass, but this is really pointless considering how we already have the Su-30 ready for use on the Chinese team. Really begs the question, why bother making a whole new model when we have a two seater version with virtually no difference between the two that would effect gameplay.

[LtSoucy]

and you make a good point also.

I'm for whatever involves having more stuff to kill pixels with.

good question, this is the answer:
the SU-30 requires 2 people to use(such as the laser guided missiles)

think about the majority of the attack helicopters you've been in, they usually arent YAY! we killed most of the enemies and got 1st and 2nd place scores! its usually. sorry I crashed, or Sorry, lagg or, oops, they shot us down

if you have a 1 seater jet, it eliminates the need for 2 people to use a jet(many times the people are nubs, since 0.6 is bringing on new people who dont read the manual and test fly things.
it also eliminates the need to hold still for the gunner to fire WHILE locking on the target. Yuo just lock on for 2 seconds for the LGMs, then they self guide on the target
finally and least important(to some people) it eliminates the sorry feeling if you die or especially crash

also, if they get permission, the Devs could use the SU-27 from POE2, its already in action, they just need permission to use it, then try to put it in

this can be the "equivalent"(i know it isnt) of the A10 for the PLA , since the Q5 only have dumb bombs .

thanks, but i meant it can be the equivelent of the F-35 ground attack version
but thats ok, since the F-35 will replace the Harrier, F16, and A-10 itself

I dont think the F-35 will get back anytime soon.

Russia can afford MiG-29s, they have hundreds of both MiG-29s and Su-27s. The MiG-29 was built as a light fighter, similar to the F-16, while the Su-27 is a heavy figher, similar to the F-15. The MiG-29's shorter range means that it is used to provide local air superiority more than the longer-ranged Su-27. The small area that battles in PR take place in means that the MiG-29 is more suitable.
