nah, the only imaging seekerhead russia produced was for the canceled izd-300/k-30 missile, and they just restarted the development for an improved version of it called izd-300m 4 years ago. i talked about it in the r-73 thread

i meant that f-15j is an f-15c with f-15a engines, it’s not a f-15a. just was saying that. it makes sense its better than the c
r-30 is wrong designation, it never went into service, was always k-30. and r-74m2 is definitely not imaging, russian imaging seekerheads have much difference front end compared to their non imaging counter parts
but for in game f15c = msip2
because that is the only aircraft named f15c (until GE is added but that has the same fm)
The article was about a rumour of a possible restarting of the K-30 project
it’s definitely restarted
Spoiler
“This year, a range of scientific research and design work was undertaken within the future development foundation with the aim of creating a scientific-technical section for future innovations within the State Arms Order, and also boosting the export potential of the articles delivered by the company,” read the article published in the Vympel NPO magazine.
“The new work in the future development foundation includes the creation of an outline for the future Izdeliye 300M, research on ballistic characteristics of articles with combined engine (propulsion) installations, and also experimental evaluation of the effect of changes in antenna arrays on the main characteristics of radar seeker heads.”
About time. R74m was never up to the task
Update coming tomorrow, and still no genuine disposition from Gaijin to fix the airplane to be 14.3 material on launch day.
We should push for either them toning its BR down, or to be foldered under the F-15C MSIP II. The GE’s current features are borderline insulting and I refuse to research the trash they’re rolling out (Needless to say, this would never happen with a Russian upgrade of the Su-30).

So you say,
That’s why the Su27sm was so irrelevant back when they added it
A upgrade of the base Su27
If you think the Su-27SM was bad like the South African Gripen C or F-16 Barak levels of bad, that’s skill issue, and nothing else.
Great arguing in bad faith and putting words in my mouth
Simply because I dared to point out that what you said isn’t true

You said it was irrelevant, saying its bad easily goes along those lines.
Unless you ironically think it the Su-27SM was good or even decent, yet irrelevant.
Can’t wait for them to add this RP/SL pit in the F-22 (presumably) line tomorrow
su-27sm became good the moment decompression happened and it got that fm buff + new engines back in december. Definitely my fav 13.7
And that was after half a year of being one of the worst planes at top tier

ay man, back then i didn’t have russia and only had chinese flankers, and the su-27sm was a great deal better than the j-11a even before the buffs, so russia players complaining was dumb imo.
