Has the redone SU-33 come out yet?

No

I'm assuming the new su-33 model will behave similar to the su-27 ?

The -33 is heavier but has the canards, so I'd expect it to have slightly less T:W & shouldn't have the same insane top speed that the DCS Su-27 has, but the -33 should have slightly better low speed / high alpha controllability & performance. In terms of weapons employment the Su-33 in reality has a better EOS system and has a geographical bombing system that the -27 doesn't. Not sure if we'll see those improvements in game though. You also get an extra 2 hard points on the -33 which makes it a better multi-role aircraft than the -27.
