interesting…

So far,
R40RD

  • Incorrect life time: It is 75s seconds when it should do 40s max
  • Drag is too low: The Delta V of the R40RD is 720m/s at deck and 780 m/s up in space.
    It should be +540 m/s (I assume on deck where drag is highest) to 740 m/s(where drag is negligible)

  • Incorrect max Gload WHILE launching: It should be 3Gs
  • Incorrect Explosive Mass: It is 25 kg when it should be much higher, 38kg***********
  • Incorrect missile G overload: It is 20Gs when it should be 15Gs
  • same for R40TD: Incorrect Gimbal limits during launch: it it 70°, it should be 45°

R40TD
Incorrect Explosive Mass: It is 25 kg when it should be higher********

For the the explosive mass on both, it may be 25kg. The Warhead is 38kg

Radar

  • Incorrect CW transmitter: The current one is a 10° cone when it should be a 20° “cone”(bc its actually a horn). This 2x angle coverage means a 4x total illuminated area coverage.
  • It should also be be fixed to the front, not be able to illuminate the sides…

Plane

  • STR too high
  • Max Gload too high too

hello, if possible could i see the sources for those stats?

@Blitzkrieg877 hey, someone in my PMs asked where you got the IRCCM for R-40TD from, because currently it doesnt have it on dev, im asking here so others can see it if theyre also wondering

if someone can confirm, will update later

i realised i shouldnt be editing stuff without confirmation from more sources(by sources i mean people)

I can send some information on r27 family for you to update.
also that guy is right on the r40 stuff

corrections:
r-77/77-1
Max gload should be 50gs
Max aoa should be 40-45 degrees
here’s my bug report on it:
https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/t87egJpsGQUk
source is r-77 patent

r-27er/r/t/et
max gload of 35 gs
source:
According to the manufacturer of the GCS on R-27 it can only hand a maximum of 35G for 6 seconds

as well as this:

some missiles you can add to this list in the OG post:
here’s information of rvv-ae-pd (RAMJET R-77)

here’s information on r-77m/izd 180

here’s information on izd-810 (missile that’s replacing r37m)

Do you have a primary source stating the R-40TD had IRCM? Cus me and some friends wanted to bug report it

i have that for r24t… unfortunately not for r40t

Alr, just can’t find a primary source, although I have found 10+ websites old and new stating it had ircm

doesn’t R-40TD use R-24T seeker or is it just a misconception?

yeah idk about that, thats why i said i have r24t docs but not necessarily r40td docs

That’s the 40RD uses a 24R seeker. If not it’s based on it I’m not 100% sure though

Another missile to add to the list - R74m2/rvv-md2
for su35, su30sm and su57 type fighter
