Part Efficient Aircrafts!

With the Su-27 Flanker, decided to summon it since y'all were really excited for one...

So here it is! Beautiful yet dangerous, the Su-27 is armed with a gatling gun and several deadly missiles, meaning she's a peak dogfighter capable of standing up to almost any opponent, even the F/A-18F!

What makes the Flanker so good in all honesty is probably its stability. Although both the F/A-18F and Su-27 are high-maneuverability aircraft, the Su-27 didn't require a weird wing design (due to the rules of PEA) and as such is much more stable than the naval fighter-attack aircraft. Albeit, the F/A-18F is much more formidable in ground-attack roles, the Su-27 is the superior dogfighter. So far, the only aircraft to get a win against the Su-27 without being shot down itself is the F-11A.

Surprisingly, the F-11A is a better dogfighter than the F/A-18F, but I say the Tiger and Flanker are equal-tiered.

PEA Lore:

Unlike other TUPL PEAs that were speculated to have participated in the Monarchii War, the PEA Su-27 was confirmed to be there. Initially misidentified as one of the Monarchii Fulcrums, later in-depth research discovered that one of the MGLA planes shot down had unique, light-red tracer bullets in its remains. Although red tracers were used at the time, most were so powerful that they would either pierce straight through the fuselage or had mutual destruction with the target on impact, confirming that it was in fact a Flanker. The weird part though is that she mysteriously vanished close to the 1 Week mark, albeit no one confirmed shooting it down even it had been correctly identified. No one knows where it went, but some say she may have been the very first agent of the NMR. If this were true, this is actually quite big news, meaning two things: the first being that Takusha (Flying T-34) had been planning to start NeMaR long before the alleged reason they separated, and for that matter the NMR is likely much larger than we understand if the former issue is true.

Also, although the F-11A has scored some kills against an Su-27, this specific Su-27 has never been shot down, earning the title of Ace due to defeating several aircraft in combat. She's also participated in a number of major wars, but interestingly enough was always switching sides based on who was winning the war. As such, the Su-27 has technically never lost a war.
