Okay. Lets imagine PESA radar with 60x20 scan zone, 1.5x1.5 beam and 200km range. We will have 533 “pixels” and add additional 10% for overlaps. We will count beam move as infinetly fast and exclude time for phase shifters.
580 multiplicate by 200/300000(range/speed of light) multiple by 2(2 way) and by 10(radar need to send and receive several echoes). We have got 7.7 seconds. This is the best explanation I can generate.

Ssu-33 datamined
Spoiler
took from rumors&discussion thread
Damn,.was hoping for MiG-29K. Oh well, Su-33 it is. Probably also means J-15 as C&P and hopefully Krechet (Kiev-class according to NATO) missile cruiser-carrier as an AI to support it existence outside of just being a sidegrade of Su-27S

J-15 is not just C&P. It much better in terms of electronics equipment. ARH missiles, AGMs, TGP and etc.

Well since the radar topic was brought up, can’t the radar on the su34 & similar hardlock multiple air targets?
Can I have the source of this nonsense?
Here’s the scanning speed of the MiG-31, given that its radar was created in 1975
You should Ask tech mods.
I guess we are going to get the crap 33 in december, suUuUuper excited 😴

I wonder if the Su-33 might be Russia’s $80 premium? With that viggen bringing SPAMRAAMs to the table for premiums, then the Su-33 and its R-27ERs doesn’t seem as crazy for a premium anymore.

99% that MiG-23-98 will be premium

I hadn’t noticed mig-23-98. Depending on the BR it might be more viable than the Su-33.

The main russian attraction for the next update Will be either the 33, 30 or the 29k. I’m 90% sure it’ll be the crap 33 now that it is in the files.

I was expecting the 33 before the datamines. People have been hyping up the F-18 for ages. At a surface level the Su-33 thematically makes sense as a russian counterpart in that they’re carrier based aircraft. But man that power gap.

Does someone have classified Su-33 documents to share?
MiG-29K is a carrier jet too, but has access to FOX-3

29k would be a much better addition tbh, crap 33 not only offers nothing for bvr but will have a slightly modified fm due to bigger wings and slightly improved engines while having canards and being heavier than the regular su-27, guess what’s going to happen when trying to turn with that plane.
