Oh, really? And why is that?
You could have saved the taxpayers hundreds of billions…
that you have smaller features that wont be picked up by radar in certain angles
Su-57 also has some “hidden” serrations covered by RAM coating. Very hard to see, especially when they get their final paint job.

I’m just showing some examples of how the RCS can be reduced. What’s wrong with that?
Wait a second, I thought we had already agreed that these smaller details would affect the result.
Lold
To the level of the F-35?
its almost as if that was shown to you before but you dont care bc it dosent fit your personal belives

We have not said this. I said that it won’t dramatically change the result in the simulation.
Not dramatically ≠ not at all
Yes, that’s exactly what I was talking about. Source: “I have a feeling”? Or is it based on something more substantial? Because you still haven’t explained.
To add to that, we can find this in one of Sukhoi’s patents:
“The use of conductive sealants allows for electrical conductivity between individual structural and technological elements of the airframe, which in turn eliminates the component of “inhomogeneities” (such as gaps or joints) in the aircraft’s RCS due to the fact that in the absence of electrical inhomogeneities, there is no scattering of surface EM waves.”
I think the simulations are usable as a reference or a relative comparison between the aircrafts. as they have all been simulated identicaly. so other factors like the panel gaps or exposed screws and so on can be assumed to be identical or negligible in effect for all 3 airplanes. For a videogame thats the best we got.

here is the same patent but in english for anyone that dosent speak russian

Awesome!
It says here that they were targeting an RCS of 0.1-1 m2. Moreover, later in the patent it states that the aircraft should have an S duct, which the actual Su-57 does not have. So, in short, the 0.3 m2 RCS figure mentioned by Pogosyan back in the 2000s is actually a very optimistic estimate.
it says average RCS
you know what an average value is?
Something like that? I don’t think Gaijin would ever go for it. That’s about as likely as asking them to model the BMPT or the Pantsir realistically.
This is funny to watch as no one really knows the real stealth profile but the Russians & Algeria. The simulations leave a lot out as a lot of the stealth features are classified so you cant take it into account. We wont know much until 2090s so eat healthy and stay fit and you might find out!
Anyway I’m sure that one Russian Su-57 Engineer who plays WarThunder watching this is laughing.
ofc lol
From the simulation results, it is easy to realize that the tunnel made by the two engines of Su-57 is a significant source of frontal radar reflection, especially against aircraft at lower altitude and ground based radar.
To make matter worse, while the strong reflection spike of F-35 located at around 34-35° boresight, the strong reflection spike of Su-57 located at the center in the direction of travel. Thus, the different in instantaneous RCS between the two aircraft can be as high as 100 times.
interesting how you discredited a similar simulation but done with the IRST of the Su-57 closed before
seems like simulations are only ok if they fit your personal views
please show us the models of that simulation since it is obviously correct
guess a simulation by the same person is only viable if it affirms your personal belives
