R-77s are horrid and the R-77-1 is needed

Yes.
IRL R-27ER 1 year earlier, than it was IOC for F-15C of US

EA would be absolutely busted

Just because gaijin can make it as they imagine
Same as YaK-141 might be

Exactly, just imagine how broken an R-27ER with an ARH seeker would be

Not broken, just overbuffed

It would be extremely powerful and outrange most things. I’m tired of power creep instead of balance.

Im not sure, but in dcs ER way worser by energy, than in wt, same with seeker

R-77-1 is purely a Russian missile so this would only help one nation. Nobody else uses it.

In DCS it’s a dual stage booster with a initial burn and sustainer but in WT for some reason they ignite at the same time

Exactly, but it’s also an export (RVV-SD)

It’s offered for export but I think only buyer is very recently India and no evidence of service yet.

Honestly the J-11A isn’t that good anyways, and they could add the R-77-1 to the Su-27SM and SMT

As i know SD is for local

RVV-SD is the official export designation for the R-77-1. It has been on display at MAKS I believe

Maybe, but for internal marketing also called as SD

It would practically be better if properly modeled.

I really hope we get mpre advanced missiles quick so Gaijin doesn’t keep it in this weirdly nerfed state for long. Alongside missiles like the AIM-120C-5 and R-77-1 it might finally get the proper motor, maneuverability and seeker.

Maneuvr might be already fine

About energetics - even amraam must be better, than in game now.

Seeker also, cutted at least on amraam

It is stated to be more maneuverable than AIM-120B, though if it uses BTT steering (it does have roll controls for the warhead) chances are 32G single plane are accurate, maybe even a bit high.
But even then it would roll and maneuver in dual plane where it would likely pull somewhere between 35-40G.

Weirdly enough AAM-4 has a single stage motor, when it should be dual stage very similar to AIM-7F/M, but with higher thrust.

That does require a bigger rework I feel like, currently I don’t think the simulation is detailed enough to make proper seekers. We’d also need way less players in battle, 16v16 with proper seekers would be horrible.

Dual is not implemented in wt(

Sustainer?
As i seen few bugreports - it is sustainer or smth near

Not yet, but it’s already suggested for AAM-3 and would be a nice addition to make missiles like AAM-3 and AAM-4 a nice middle ground between conventional and TVC missiles.

Though it would make conventional missiles quite a bit more complicated, so it might take a while for them to add it.

Yes, Gaijin just “fixed” MICA motor by making it a weight adjusted 120C-5 long burn single stage motor. But instead it is a higher power AIM-7F/M like dual stage motor.
