Sukhoi Company Su-57 Felon - Russia's Stealth Apex Predator

It seems comparing two graphs is a bit of a challenge for you. Don’t worry, it happens.

Judging by this photograph, the Su-57 has a straight duct leading directly to the radar blocker and the first compressor stage.

very straight

and guess what happens at higher speeds

Apparently, radar waves lose their ability to undergo multiple reflections inside that duct. Or is there some other kind of magic at work?

make the simulation themselves?

Very time consuming and takes proper knowledge

Average RCS means nothing. It’s pretty well known that this number means nothing in practice. Frontal X-band RCS will obviously be significantly different.

Not to mention that this ”goal” is old, they didn’t have a final radar blocker at the time.

They use the exact same model lol. The difference is that one is a commissioned by someone from basicsaboutaerodynamicsandavionics.wordpress.com while the other ones aren’t commissioned by anyone. The article is very biased and he doesn’t respond to any criticism.

It fits Flogger_cbs’s narrative, that’s why he uses it. (Even if it’s objectively misleading)

You’re not too lazy to argue about this. You understand that in a game with AESA, stealth technology will gain you practically nothing, right?

In real life, the F18 or F15/Su27 or su30 with mechanical radars won’t do anything, but in the game you’ll be 15.3 br and you’ll never encounter them.

Obviously Gaijin will assume that the machinery works well. any blank area will be filled with that assumption in mind. And as Su-35S said it seems you want the su 57’s stealth to be worst compared to the other stealth fighters, this is ofcourse true but it wont be a drastic and definite upperhand in realife as the rcs isn’t as important as you think it is.
A 100 times reduction from 0.01 m^2 for su-57 to 0.0001 m^2 for the f-35 will not result in a 100 times reduction in detection range. the su 57 captures most of the range reduction while the rest are chasing few extra percentages at best

That’s not the point. It’s meant to bring a new aspect to the game which will make the gameplay more interesting and strategic.

What aspect? We don’t have radar wave simulations in the game. That requires a supercomputer. It will be a standard flight model setup, whether the signal is reflected or not, it depends on the signal source, distance, and angular velocity.

It doesn’t need to be simulated during the game. Models can use pre-calculated values

No fighter in the world can achieve an average RCS of -40dBm. The claims you see online about the F-22 and F-35 and their RCS are just made up BS. RCS can’t be summarized into one value.

By the way, you can calculate the change in detection range with this equation:

(x/y)^0.25

Where x is the RCS you want to calculate for and y is a reference

There is a radar blocker for this very reason

they can only either build a new tool from scratch to automatically generate RCS maps for every plane in the game or keep the current old simple rcs system

Current ones are abhorrent

But simulations show that their radar blocker is less effective than an S-duct. Which calls into question the aircraft’s ability to achieve its claimed RCS figures.

And it also mentions the J-36, which is obviously a sign of its credibility, lol.

You can’t say that the one who made it isn’t credible while also basing your arguments on one of his simulations.

What simulations? Can you show a simulation that models and compares the Su-57’s radar blocker with RAM to a full serpentine design?

Well, you’re the one claiming that the wordpress article is biased (because it doesn’t align with your beliefs?)
