You mean tech mods? What can they say? They know the R-27ER was only brought to the game to increase the game efficiency. I actually have further proof regarding the N019M Topaz I chose not disclose or think I can publicly.
But perhaps you are right, or maybe I do not have to submit anything & already have been messaging a dev & I am just here to simply generating community feedback? Like an actual community member should do?
Or maybe neither, I guess we will never know huh.
Because they share the same seeker does not mean they are guided by the same channels lol.
Do you think that the vast, widely different radars & fire controls that guide the Aim-120 all produce the same main channels frequencies to guide them? Just because the Aim-120 has one seeker head? No programing, whatsoever had to take place? lol
You understand how easy it would be to jam them all if one radar is compromised right?
Why would the Soviet Union develop the R-27ER throughout the mid 80s, to deploy it in 1990 & knowingly allow it to be guided by the same N019 Rubin radar that the Americans already compromised, having the N019 Rubin & R-27 schematics, jam proof data, detection, tracking & guidance frequencies as well as the state recognition system of the USSR?
Even though Phazotron Chief Designer already admitted this to the KGB in 1985 & while on the stand in Moscow in 1986 at his trial? Even though they designed a replacement radar N019M specifically because of this traitor?
The N019M Topaz is an updated version, developed as a response to the compromise of the N019 radar by a US spy. Tested from 1986, it entered limited production in 1991. Slightly lighter than the N019 at 350kg. Topaz has increased ECM resistance, new software, and a more advanced built-in monitoring system. A new Ts101M computer eliminates the processor overload problems of the N019, more than doubling capacity to 400,000 operations per second whilst weighing less, just 19kg, and with doubled MTBF of 1000h compared to the 500h of the Ts100. N019M allows two targets to be engaged by active radar homing missiles simultaneously. Range increased slightly to 80km. Originally intended to be fitted to the existing MiG-29 fleet as an upgrade, about 22 aircraft with N019M are thought to have entered service with the VVS.

Why would the Russians do this? The answer is they would never.
That is why you will never find a single Product 9-12 or 9-13 in all of the world with the R-27ER unless it has the N019M Topaz radar or greater.
Even after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Do you understand how dumb it would be to sell R-27ERs to your allies knowing that yours & their enemies such as NATO have the exact same radars that guide it?
Can you find me a single NATO country that has the N019M radar or the R-27ER?
I will wait.
