Can’t be sure. It’s very difficult to visually distinguish between the R-73 and the RVV-MD.
my bet is no, Su-35 was purchased for evaluation (most likely for engines evaluation specifically), purchasing new weapons alongside it seems wasteful in my opinion.
I mean China does have a massive stockpile of R73s that are meant to be used with J-11/As which never saw any conflict before retirement, pretty sure those will be enough to see Su35s to the end.
Probably. RVV-MD is good, but on the modern battlefield R-73 would still probably be enough. And this is if Su-35 will see combat. I doubt that it was purchased for active duty.
Interception + evaluation mainly, + unlikely conflict in the next decade.
yeah, interceptions don’t really require high performance HOBS Fox-2s. R-73E would be more than enough in such cases.
Did the WS-10 get a buff? Didn’t remember it being 12.5t thrust, thought it was 12 just like AL31.
It’s always been like that, although it’s thrust curve drops immediately unlike al-31f/al-31f1, so it’s a bit misleading
What’s with the thrust curve? I also did some tests on J-11B just now, and using the same method I did before it is almost 15 seconds faster than previous in getting to 8k alt and then getting to M1.5.
I mean the thrust on the statcard is slightly misleading because unlike the russian engines, the ws-10 experiences a much sharper drop in thrust from static. So even though it says it has more thrust than al-31f1 at static, in practice it doesn’t
(thrust curve at 100m)

just as a disclaimer, they wont give it 77-1s or PL-12 as its a premium, and i think its already good at 13.3 like MK2 AMV

N001ve has one less datalink channel and no gmti mode, so slightly different to vep but modelable in game. It basically the n001 but compatible with r77.
I’ll write up a report on it after I get another good quality secondary source, I have 2 secondary sources already but one of them imo is pretty terrible so I’ll look for another one
omg, im dumb, dizzy head mistook them with other thing
