What's the loadout of it?

i'd like to see how she handels in a dogfight

A version with a 20mm in the nose would be fun

Yeah, with AK74M sticked to the cockpit side with buble gum and tape, firing THROUGH the prop blades.

Seriously - the weapon loadout will be historical. But, the visual damage model will be same as in the other BoB aircraft. So, at least, you'll be able to kick it's arse.

Have no idea.

As long as Oleg provides us with a deckchair object to watch the airshow from the ground.

I think the reason it is in the game - it is considered to be the best aerobatics plane in the world by many skillful pilots. Last time world champion Jurgis Kairys flies it as well as a 5 times world FAI champion among women Svetlana Kapanina.

Here are some links:
Su-31 is an improoved version of Su-26, and Su-29 is a 2-seat trainer.

Nice photos and info about Jurgis, Svetlana, Su-26 and Su-29.

Don't miss 'cobra' maneuvers on take-off and inverted flight under a bridge in Su-26.

As many of us (as well as OM) believe IL-2/FB/BoB has the best FM why not to test the best aerobatics plane with the best simulator FM?
Probably this is the explanation.

BoB will be more open to 3rd party add-ons and I am sure we'll see more great aerobatics planes in it soon.

Love her grip on that joystick, thx for the link!

There is a huge potential for a hifi non violent flightsim, perhaps bigger then the BoB. If they manage to get the dynamic air movement correct so that it can be used as a trainer for gliders as well as motor airplanes it will be worth a few Euros.

I love this aspect for the new sim...eventually maybe a Pitts Special can be flown.

And as a provable test airframe for the sim - it make perfect sense to include the Sukoi.

Perhaps early gliders - such as were used by the fledgling Luftwaffe to train cadets could also one day be provided. Proper thermals and other wind related effects would make light plane handleing an adventure too...

I wonder... if GT sales of their new WWI mod are really positive - will they be liscensed to use the BoB core somewhere down the line?...? I know thats looking far ahead but...what can I say.

I'd like to see proper training missions and aircraft for each side. The Tiger Moth is obvious for the allies, Germany must have had something similar.
