bol pods flares and chaff have been nerfed a while ago
now a small flare/chaff is basically 1/4 of the effectiveness of a normal sized flare/chaff
I just want to point out that when I made this post, I had to make do with what was available at the time, and when more brochures and manuals became available on the internet (such as the more accurate max G value of the R-27), I couldn’t update the post because for some reason it was bugged on the old forum. Thanks for understanding.

really?
Aren’t those just mockups/training missiles?
They have the gray nose cover. (I’m not at all knowledgeable in the subject, i just saw the color of the nose of the missiles i vaguely remembered something about those with gray fronts being non-functional)
mock-ups are the ones with black stripes

The “aerodynamic scheme” is goofy

it’s actually the source that I used for my first attempt of bug reporting the r-77 no launch limits, but it got rejected as it’s jsut one secondary source.
(second attempt went through cause I just used a mig-29smt brochure)
It’s a book on all previous russian planes/missile and the like made by a bunch of ex engineers at vympel, sukhoi/etc.
I highly recommend, great read on the history of russian aviation in general. Has lots of technical information on stuff as well.
though you need to use a translator

If this will actually go trough, might be a substantial buff for SMT and 29M
for any platform with the r77
I would disagree. N001 and N019 maximum radar gimbal is pretty much in the current launch zone for R-77. Only real difference would be ability to send it in mem/trk but it ain’t MICA, so missile most likely won’t turn fast enough to lock the target without a DL info from a carrier
just wait for a 27M with the mech bars
Would love to get it, but i really doubt that gaijin will bring it. Most likely they will just make PESA bars with static dish for Su-27M because it will save them development time
nah that would take more time than copy pasting the zhuk and adjusting the range values a bit
they already have early bars on MKM, just adjust scan zone
Gimbal limit is 50 degrees b4 launch 60 degrees after launch for r-27r/er
45 degrees b4 launch 75 degrees after launch for r73
20 degrees b4 launch 45 degrees after launch for r60m.
Also tracking rate is 30 degrees per second
12 degrees before launch for r60 and 30 degrees per second for tracking
