Only thing is, KH29TE has a seeker which struggles to do anything past 10km, to bring more guided bombs u need to abandon 1 KH29TE which is annoying. 500kg on the PL8 pylons are nice.
One thing though, I can’t use the pod RN, it appears to me that it has like 20k EDPI and I just can’t do anything. Just me?

So the Dev Server was reopened, and yet STILL PLACEHOLDER RADAR
Why??? Is it that hard to just implement J-8F or maybe J-10-styled radar as placeholder?

Nope, just that they copy and pasted N001 from J11A.
Yeah it’s just such a waste, they still haven’t fix the radar, I’m pretty curious how it performs compared to Su-30SM.
RN, quite nice, but with this, I have to say the radar lets it down RN. I think it will be similar. Actually the KH29s and Guided bombs make it better at CAS than Su27SM.

IDK which pylons can carry them though, cause I would still take KH29 over it if it is faster. IF they are on GB500 pylons though… that is a different matter, every day of the week.
The radar is still unfixed and the bug reports seem to be lacking info. Is there any primary sources on the radar? How did they find information on the type 1473?
Yeah if it keep like this, this thing will be DOA again, and it’s pretty bullshit to have a Fox 3 that as capable as AMRAAM and yet with shitty Radar like N001
from memory the C-704s are around 400 kg, so it remains possible to have them on the PL8 pylons but it would be necessary to find sources that the J11B uses them well, the J10A/B/C pulls it and now the J11B has KH29 so I don’t see the problem for it to be able to pull C-704.
the C-704 is subsonic mach 0.9 at the maximum but has a more evolved seeker than the KH29TE
Spoiler
fired a C-704KD GPS to hit a stationary pantsir behind a mountain and a significant advantage to the detriment of speed

For 1473 it is essentially a copy-paste MiG-29SMT Zhuk with slightly shorter range ingame.
For 1493 I would imagine it would at least not be worse than the preceding 1492, or else it would be ridiculous.
among all the sources that I put find the 1493 and a range of about 150 km but no real change with the 1492 of the J8F, just an enlarged range
There is one change though that can be somewhat confirmed, the transmitter outputs much more power (300W on 1492 compared to 1000W for 1493).

yes of course, I’m afraid that gaijin will do anything given all the refused bug reports :(

I just think that Gaijin hasn’t gone to the level where they would make the successor radar worse than the predecessor, so I think it will be fine when it arrives to live server.
I just hope that the scanning speed will be a little bit faster. I want a quick walk through the sector.
I expect the 1493 radar to behave like a 1473 but with 150 km, range and in 60°x10° and 6DL
If that’s the case that is already alright for me, actual characteristics are of course classified and there are little official sources, it is probably the closest representation possible.
normally yes the 1473 and 1493 are radars of the same generation as the 1493 and released later
