Its now live since ~ 6 1/2 hours
Oh damn lol, maybe I need to go to the eyedoc again
Hmm Gripen loadout bug doesnt seem to be fixed from the looks of it
Welcome to Snail Entertainment
It would be roughly accurate for PESAs and i wouldn’t put it beyond gaijin to ahistorically nerf AESAs lol
Raven seems to be fixed now tho amazing

“i made them up for dramatic effect”
not a valid source
Buddy the seeker couldn’t see things down that low, think about it how does it get around the effect of well the aircraft or target and the ground looking the same? Every other missile with low altitude capability uses a inverse mono pulse seeker.
It is designed as said for BVR not for both.
It’s a google translate of a page from a Russian manual,
Your source for that is?
Seeker architecture, it has no way to differentiate or perhaps it can be explained why Russia didn’t need to go to an inverse mono pulse seeker but the rest of the world did to use SARHMs at targets flying low. Russian aircraft at the time the 29 would have had a PD Radar.
The ET definitely the but the R-27R how did it do it?
If it can fair enough, but we all know what it can do in the real world and what it does in game is false.
It is far too resistant to CMs and near impossible to notch
I thought the R-27 was monopulse, the image posted above certainly looks characteristic of a monopulse antenna.
Anyway a monopulse antenna is not a requirement in order to hit low level targets. Hell the AIM-7E could even track and be used against small boats if needed.
Here are the results of RAF trials with the AIM-7E-2 (very much not a monopulse missile)
| Trial ID | Target height | Hits | Reason for fail |
|---|---|---|---|
| X4267 AP1 G3 | 500 ft / 152 m | 4 / 6 (67%) | Combined with row below. Guidance failure (3), locked onto clutter (1) |
| X4267 AP1 J3 | 2,000 ft / 610 m | 0 / 2 (0%) | See row above |
| X4267 AP2 K3 | 3,000 ft / 918 m | 1 / 1 (100%) | N/A |
| X2737 AP1 I12 | 1,000 ft / 305 m | 2 / 3 (67%) | Probable seeker fault - it never saw the target or any clutter (1) |
| X6119 AP1 J4 | 2,000 ft / 610 m | 1 / 1 (100%) | N/A |
| X6119 AP1 B3 | 100 ft / 30 m | 1 / 1 (100%) | N/A |
| X6119 AP4 I4 | 1,000 ft / 305 m | 0 / 1 (0%) | Missile power supply failure (1) |
| Total | 9 / 15 (60%) |
They fired 15 missiles against low level targets and 9 of them hit with 6 missing (60% hit rate). And of those 6 misses at least 2 are attributed to missile hardware failures. So you can clearly see that non monopulse missiles can in fact hit low flying targets.

I think it was introduced as a fix in the spearhead update, only to completely break ESAs so Gaijin had to revert it.
So this update it seems they released a version of the same thing again, only for it to break ESAs again and thus it seems to be getting reverted again.
