Well, yes, trouble of small maps. But you always can at least try to ignore WVR
Especially in F-15C, which has very high acceleration and speed, so you can always stay away
I have something called the R-27ET that can chase them
Still waiting for low smoke motors
I have noticed people don’t notch properly either. I have seen people make the 90 degree turn giving a huge radar signature. To properly notch you need to be below, perpendicular to, and wings level. The wings level part gets a lot of people killed.
variable rcs isnt in game…
Then why do we have RCS reduction canopies like the F16?
What makes you think that? Planes with variable sweep wings such as F-14, Tornado, and Mig-23s have variable RCS according to developers.
I don’t believe such a thing is modeled in-game.
They aren’t variable in aspect though which is what I think Fireball means.
If it isn’t that is a shame. It reduces the F16 signature by something like 15%.
i mean in reference to aspect
yep

No Launch permit util IR-seeker locked on target.
highly chaffable? It along the mica and r darters are the ones that are harder to notch or chaff. You can chaff and go cold to deter an AMRAAM, not an r77.
People complaining about r77 having no range despite it was specifically made to be a short rande fox3… it’s like eating hot peppers at will and crying over these burning your mouth. Use the r27er then, it’s still the best missile in the game
The seekers for all fox 3s are the same in the files, so no part of this statement is true.
It’s just the usual american main who struggles to accept the fact that they are not suffering by any metric. In fact they’re being handheld on gaming journalist mode.
wouldnt say we need the 77-1 right now myself. id rather just have them actually bother to fix things like the flight models and the base R-77. as far as i can tell neither of these are even remotely close to their real life versions
Yeah, if the SU27SM and J11A are to be considered 13.7 along with the likes of F16C and F15C, I’d say we need something.
Either finally fix the repeating radar scans which is massively crippling the already crippled flanker radar, or fix the flight model, or model drag in a more accurate way for the R77 where it isn’t an airbrake at very high speeds, or make the R73 not completely spin out when you’re slow, or make it’s IRCCM actually somewhat reliable at close ranges.
It’s all about perspective, if the 29SMT is to be considered 13.3 as it is right now, I think it makes sense that the 27SM would be 13.7, but that doesn’t mean I think it’s worthy of being same BR as F16C/F15C. If anything those should be 14.0, in Air Sim at least.
Of course 2 extra R77’s is nice and does objectively help but it kind of misses the point of why the flanker struggles in the first place
the 27sm has a lot of potential if they actually bothered with it. but alas at this point i feel like theyre just doing this purely for the money since to me at least it seems nato players are more likely to spend money, and theyre also the part of the playerbase that complains the most so they just end up pleasing them.
who knows, its just a theory, a snail theory
