some guy claiming something on the internet is not adequate proof for it to be added into the game sorry
Show them to us then.
Pilot’s schizophrenia, to be accurate
Nothing surprising. What made you think the aircraft could use this missile?
Even if you nitpick every word in this book (and remember, it’s just a book, not a test report), it won’t help you. Because the missile was tested on a modified aircraft, not a production model.
Isnt it in same state as 27EA? Like produced few missiles, not used
i dont think you can quite differentiate between actually tested missiles that were and are real versus paper missiles that never flew or launched.
no the aerodynamic cap causes different drags but it is nearly the same hence it remains the same performance.
27EP is used and adopted by air force
its still real though, and offered for export. we actually dont know how many there are because even ukraine might have a few
yep, probably one of the few if not the only which can be fired against both air and ground radars
Their result are similar - never used in any war/etc, not produced in massive amounts.
Wow, what will have higher range, flat cap, or cone cap?
And that similar case.

depends on what you mean by flat. and no R-27 has a flat cap.
Good luck with usage as A-G ARM missile, with that frequencies it will be hard
Oh, good, that you remember about adapters.
Well, HARM, used on MiG/Su, been recognised by avionics as R-27ER.
So, theoretically - yes.
But practically - Phoenix is way bigger/heavier, so it just doesn’t work.
While, EA (if not being legitimately implemented), just can be recognised (after adaptation) by avionics as R-27ЕR, and just be guided as R-77.
Missle cant be recognised as R-77 (i guess), due to different pylons (AKU/APU-470 for R-27, and 170 for R-77).
Just flat.
cant argue that but still possible
Your statements are backed only by your demagogic arguments, an excerpt from some book, and the words of a so-called pilot, whose meaning is completely unclear. So far, the only solid evidence we have is the Flight Manual.
Yes.
Spoiler
Now prove that the Su-27 cannot use the AIM-54.
ofcourse cones will be more aerodynamic in this case. if it was a smooth curve flat like the T or ET it wouldnt make much difference at slower speeds.
cones work better at mach speeds though
But you cant force radar into datalink to missile mode, trouble in that.
Even for using a new missile of the same family, software updates are necessary. Clearly, no one will upgrade the aircraft to use a missile that doesn’t exist.
So, you just prove that it causes difference.
