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

SM2 kind of exist but merely on this weird 1-2 production/prototyping basis.

well based on what you have seen so far within suggestions and what has been passed to the devs, what do you believe will be the next Flanker to be added to the RU tree and would it be added with the R-77-1 or both the R-77 and R-77-1? The R-77 I believe shouldn’t be added to future aircraft, I feel, due to its non use it production from RU.

because it would be too much? like, r-77 aint even comparable to fox3 missiles. you can play around it, but it doesnt mean its nowhere near fair and let me remind you, that its a video game, nothing more. just a game.

İf they are added with R-77 they will be dead on arrival, just like 27SM

looks like the R-77 is getting a buff. less drag, smaller turn radius, and can hold 50gs for a bit longer.

Is there a patch log you could link me to?

well, i wouldnt say its gonna solve this situation. “slightly” at least. difference in effective range is enormous for a game balance.
fox3 is a big jump up for another nations. for ussr r-77 is a small step.

The radar on SU-27SM is still the literal worst radar at top tier though, but this will surely help. But I still will not play that horrible jet

Ever since the SM came out I’ve been trying so hard to find basic information on the N011 BARS Mechanical PD radar set because it was claimed to be put on some SU-27s but I can’t find specific info at all.

İ would legit take the radar of F-14A over this garbage radar. Yes it’s not all aspect PD but it’s so good and easy to use. The TWS scans very fast, has very good search angle modes

Not to mention the TWS on the N001 series does not Gimble with the target horizontally or vertically and you have to manually do it with keybinds.

YES, you literally have to point your nose if you want to hard lock, and in TWS the radar doesn’t move at all. İt’s literally garbage.

ITS SO ANNOYING; especially as a sim player with a setup requiring less keybinds, the fact that the TWS can’t move automatically to track means I have to STT my R-77 until pit bull.

I just don’t play this garbage jet. Played a few matches, immediately realised how bad it is.

İt’s basically the punch bag of top tier along with the other trash of top tier: J-11

SIM is dead since 9M as well, there’s a reason blue is always 2v1 or even 3v1.

Now the meta is ARH and it’s Aim-120 Vs pathetic R-77

Do you mean su-27m?

Capable, but with heavy limitations

The Su-27M is the Su-35S preproduction and I believe it was tested only with the N011M BARS-R and the Irbis-E.

Not quite. Su-27M is 80-90s closed project. Su-35S is new 2008 project.

27M is 35, not 35S
Ans to wrong msg

That’s why I said preproduction
