Su-33 maximum carrier landing weight

[Gierasimov]

I am sorry, I am blind I think, I can't find this information. I used to have nice table with all parameters but it seems to be lost now. 

 

What is the official maximum carrier landing weight for the Su-33 in DCS?

For some reason, 24,500 kg comes to mind.

Are we sure those manual numbers are up to date?  They look like the Su-27k numbers.  Here's a snip of the in game numbers.  I'd like to know the max takeoff weight so I can set them up to refuel after takeoff.

Update, the default 50 % fuel load works just fine.  They hook up immediately.  Some nice lighting there too.

Su-27K = Su-33, so there is no difference and the DCS manual figures are correct.

Max take-off weight is 33 tons, but you need to use the long take-off position and good speed of the aircraft carrier(if you fly from that) to pull it off.
