It’s as accurate as the current game mechanics allow it to be, we were feeling that the mig was underperforming but it had more to do with the overperforming western aircraft, which, by the way, are still overperforming.

Thanks for confirming with tests

Neither is 16, $50million+ jets equipped for A2A encountering another 16, $50million+ jets equipped to A2A and deciding the best course of action is a knife-fight below 1000m between all of them at once.
@k_stepanovich Why doesn’t the SMT accompany 20 targets and attack 4 of them at the same time? In the case of the R-27, there are two goals

Isn’t that simply because of the current TWS modeling limitations?
The Pantsir also shoots at 4 targets at the same time
Same with the F-14. IRL can track 24 and engage 6 simultaneously. It’s not modeled effectively in game.
Is there any proof the N010M can guide 2 SARHs at once, DTT on a mech scan radar is notoriously faulty

i found this some time ago, im not sure how realiable this source is but since we dont have too much info related to the 29smt, maybe you can look and find something nice
(you have to download the pdf )
This MiG-29UPG export version SMT
i mean, at least is something tho lol maybe it can help
I see tracking for 4 targets but this would be for R-77s in TWS not R-27s which need STT lock
The R-27 is capable of STT on two different targets if the fighter’s radar allows
Yes but only PESA/AESA radars can guide multiple SARHs at once at different targets, like the Zaslon radar in the MiG-31 could guide 4 R-33s at 4 different targets at once (BM can do 6 I believe). I also believe the PESA flankers can also 2 R-27ER, but the mech scan N010M shouldn’t be able to
The mechanical antenna is also capable of aiming missiles at different targets
yes but only on paper in practice its incredibly impractical and unreliable since you need to rapidly move the beam and mech scan radars cannot do this fast enough to reliably perform it, an example of mech scan DTT is the APG-70s DTT which could guide 2 sparrows at once but this radar feature was removed in later suites because it was found too impractical and unreliable to for employment of SARHs
You may be right, but even this is not implemented in the game
Not even PESA unless you have 2 T/R modules to generate 2 beams. If only one module, you’d have to change the beam’s direction quite fast, the radar needs to update trackfile and illuminate the target enough time for the missile to guide and correct itself for SAHR.
On the R27R/ER. To receive a full INS correction, it takes 358m/s. Add 4 targets and you’d be getting an update every 1.432 seconds. The information given in distance for correction is limited to ±300m. In 1.432sl seconds a maneuvering target might’ve moved more than that. And the expected place the target will be (what the INS corrections gives in my understanding) at SAHR transition will be vastly more different.
