No, the base R-77 wasn’t all that great, you had to get within 15km to even hit anything semi-reliably.

I wrote too fast, i wanted to talk about the radar of the current planes that use the r77 in game.

Nope, its way better in range, but pulls worser

Basically lol. I’ll check back for the next update but gonna peace out for a bit. Already was playing bare minimum to forum post.
At this point the only viable F-2 will be J/APG-2 F-2 or even 2019 F-X radar F-2 both with AAM-4B or st least buffed AAM-4

Don’t forget the potentially fictional HMD because no top tier can have none

It’s a really MID ARH paired with the worst Top Tier radar, even the good PESA on the Su-34 couldn’t save it
I’m not surprised they always seem to gimp the additions to nato armaments on planes for the most part. They should have at least gave the f18 Aim120 c5 to make it some what useful or gave gbu-53 storm breaker that is also in the files. But you know they fine with adding kh38s that have no counter and on top of that there adding it to the Su30 that never carried it IRL lol.

AS if we needed another top tier Russian jet and this time it gets 12 ARH and TVC LMFAO
I get the frustration but no need for the DOA talk like there was with the F-18. It’s going to be fine when it comes.
Russian bias…
Talking about how its going down a step in br because of their statistics :/

Ahh yeah, the mechanical radars were said to be abysmal, but people complained about both equally
Is this really equivalent?
its going down in BR? tf
due to engine limitations the r-77s have the same (highest iirc) drag profile for the entire flight time which leads to massive energy loss effectively cutting the range down. That and it doesnt have a sustainer.

We actually do, playing the Su-27 was bad, the SM was not any better. This is the first fighter (that is not a giant whale) with a decent radar
