I was about to edit the post to correct myself, you’re right. Damn it, the spaghetti code got me, on AIM-7M it was next to the booster.
It has 26 630 N of thrust and 4.8s burn time.
I was suspicious the whole time, because R-24R has 50 000 N of thrust and 3s burn time, but much higher drag. I guessed that drag has that big of an impact, but still found it hard to believe.
Still it’s a lot less than what it used to be.
There’s plenty of factors to take into account when you’re looking at missile performance. Everything from drag, to weight, to dimensions, to total burn time… Also, 73 600N for 2s is ~16% less force output than 55 275 for 3.2s… Its booster became stronger but it received a weaker sustainer instead. It also received a pretty substantial drag buff when this happened (roughly the difference of AIM120 and R77 in terms of CxK), so range stayed roughly the same if not slightly better at the cost of some acceleration. This was pretty long ago but I remember general consensus was that it wasn’t that different.
Specific power used to be 95.1, now it is 88.77. However, lower drag probably compensates for that in terms of range. This doesn’t change the fact that R-27ER no longer has the necessary speed to pull that tactic off.
Except this is demonstratably false, and is shown almost every match.
Then you’re an idiot.
No. I think the Red side is balanced with the Blue side. Individual aircraft balancing is pretty fucking irrelevant when each team can have the same aircraft. And if you really want to bitch, YES! The red side has both the best F-15 AND F-16
Can you give link to them?
“can” have is something different than actually have.
Is red supposed to play Japan only now, because only then it’s balanced?
That can’t be the solution.
China received a total of 36 Su-27SK aircraft between 1992 and 1996, afterwards they moved onto license production.
The Su-27SK’s radiolocating suite was the RPLK-27E, which was in turn a degraded RPLK-27 suite used on the base model Su-27. There isn’t much info on what those degraded capabilities were, but it’s fully possible that the radar’s synchro unit could’ve been swapped out, because of the degraded capabilities of the radiolocation suite, the Su-27SK can’t really be considered a primary source for the Su-27S and Su-27SM. I would also like to note that the manual cites it as a possibility, not a guaranteed occurence, a possibility means that is generally occurs under specific conditions, which according to Fulcrum mechanics, were mainly low maintenance issues connected to the radar links and the synchronization unit.
Its Sim, you pick exactly what maps and matchups you want to join. If you join a game where you are at a disadvantage, thats entirely on you. And last i checked France has the best F-16, not japan dumbass
Edit: lmao butthurt flag more
Which have never been the problem with the eastern radars. Their problems are scan pattern and time, which cant be fixed due to their innate construction. The F-15s radar is also a soviet fantasy, a shadow of its reality.
Again people arguing over nothing. No matter how long you keep fanboying over blue side, reality is that until red side gets fixed you ll find it hard to find matches or accomplish anything in those matches due to not finding enemies, or even worse, getting TK in the furball where 3 blues all try to score on 1 red.
Is it fun to do sky tourism in war thunder instead of fighting ?
Is it fun to do lobby simulator instead of actually playin?
Come on. Many times I open wt I am forced to play red because there are no lobbies for blue available. It s stupid.
Which ones ? Are you sure they are allways on red team ? I guess you are talking japan, and they go often with USA …
Same, I would like to fly everything, but I end flying red most of the time, hard to spade planes in USA, UK and Israel. The moment I see a match were i can join blue and it’s not too unbalanced, I join.
That’s another problem, sometimes you can join lobbies where there are +3 players in blue team, I guess it’s a bug
Even with not nerfed engine, that’s for a 1 vs 1, it’s not posible on WT most of the time. Once you launch the 27ER you have to keep lock, and you are an easy prey for other players …
And the trick of unlocking and locking later would be if the radar was decent, with a normal Mig29 you can’t do that, maybe you don’t find the same target later, IDK if the Su27 radar is better, didn’t play it yet
Maybe, but exact states what was degraded - i cant find them, mostly states like just export
Getting spikes even a few times in N of time - already not good.
Well, maybe theres few rotations like that, but mostly jp against us, not in team.
Su-27 radar is near to just upscaling MiG-29 radar
Right now:
Less than half.
I see, 42% percent of matches is something negligeable for you XD
In game where you can select what do you want - it not really matter
And what about top tier?
