Isnt it PESA?
Only aesa.
No modifications were allowed and much of the wartime AA had been removed during her stay in refit as a bit of an insult to Stalin, because Churchill didn’t think the Soviets should be getting a battleship at all because the Brits had dealt with the Italians in his view virtually all on their own.
Eventually Roosevelt agreed on behalf of Churchill without permission that the Soviets would get a ship, Stalin then demanded the best one afloat which was Guilio Cesare, but that required getting her out of the med and to Scapa Flow, which would take at least a year.
Stalin was impatient and demanded an allied ship, specifically he wanted a KGV class causing Churchill to almost suspend discussions over such a ridiculous request. The American’s offered and Stalin insisted upon a ship with European supply lines for shells, which meant 14" or 15" really, so they were finally offered an R class.
So you’d get a virtually clean R class with like 50 20mms and like 12 .50 cals or something at best.
By the way, I’ve heard a lot about the rafale electronic warfare system. If it’s like Su25T, it’s going to be very, very hard to resist. It will also be very annoying. What modification was it installed on? Does Jsa-39 or EF-2000 have something similar? The J-10B and C don’t seem to have it.
That’s fair, I prefer a bit of range on my missiles even at the expense of dogfight performance so for me the PL-12/AMRAAM are perfect Fox-3s and then the PL-8B will be a great IR missile.
I prefer to avoid dogfights and keep to medium range hanging around the outskirts of the furball instead of all up in it
My opinion, might be F/A-18C late production with AN/APG-79(V)4 AESA radar after F/A-18A Plus with AN/APG-73 RUG radar and F/A-18C Plus
No, I also like long-range missiles. But unfortunately, I played too much on the r-60m, so I have a clear reflex that IR missiles are missiles with maximum overload, but flying very close. I was able to overcome this reflex on the j-7d with the pl-5b, but the echoes are still making themselves felt. I love it when an IR rocket gives out hellish overloads, but it flies adequately far in range. For radar missiles, I prefer range rather than overload.

And still no wheeled vehicles with any utility above mid-tier.

And I also like it when a rocket, after a seemingly slow launch, suddenly turns on the engine and it starts from its place at lightning speed. It looks and feels super cool

Let’s say PL-8B with J-11B Early (Block 2) or J-11BH (PLAAF) and J-10B (PLAAF) coming to next major update
Gajin could add AIM-9M-8 (Navy) and AIM-9M-9 (Air Force) for 4 domestic USA fighter aircraft at the same time ?

I would also know how the 9m-8/9 differs from the usual 9m. And it seems like, as far as I’ve heard, the 9m is a very powerful and dangerous missile. Is not it so?
A truly amazing vehicle for it’s time, would love to see it.
its BR placement would either brokenly OP or extremely mid to the point it is not fun. Say 10.3 or 10.7 where the 2M is, then it is too low, but 11.0 and above it cant do much since its chassis is still a T-72/90 and doesnt have a use for its autocannons.
I don’t think his answer was detailed enough. Yes the energy is marginally better. The drag etc. is NOT.

And if they finally add an IFV to certain trees it ends up gimped into being crippled (cough Namer).
