Lock them in IRST and then switch to radar mid-lock, holds lock much better than trying to acquire them with the TWS modes or HMS ACM.
We will only be able to test when it comes to live, changes are visible in datamine already.

I finally finished researching the su27, but since I hadn’t bought the two su17s before the su27…I’m broke now lmao

Controllable yes, I don’t have an issue flying in manual forever. But it requires more input than any other vehicle.
I hate using trim , I counteract the planes natural pull manually with stick and in su-27 if you let go of the stick you will draw circles very fast lol
has smin replied yet? i think they are actively avoiding an explanation on purpose for why J-11 gets more thrust despite being the same engines and plane, since they know it is wrong but they do not want to change it. Fantasy stuff as always

R27s have blown up on the rail a couple times on me when I launch them. They won’t kill me but just blow up.
Anyone experience this?
I have a problem, where in a situation in which the Mig-21 radar would be good enough to maintain lock , the Su-27 radar loses lock at high altitude close range targets lol (4-5-6 km, not running away from me , just hanging in air going slowly)

It looks like a shuffled copy-paste of an f111 and an f4, nice.

a 5.0 premium ship should do the job
with premium acc is easy to get some silver lions lol, i already did more 400k xD
- Estimated flight weight of the aircraft
The mass equal to the estimated take-off weight minus the least amount of fuel consumed before reaching a particular configuration or altitude

Just tested at test flight with all performance upgrades. The TAS for gaining energy seems to be 1100 km/h. So climbing at this TAS seems to get you the best sustained climb rate.
The test was conducted this way:
Level flight acceleration at max power, taking times to increase every 100km/h in TAS, then converting to variation in kinetic energy per mass per time. Fuel was fixed at 30min, not consuming.
Note: the small variations instead of a “smooth” curve are probably due to the timing errors (did it manually pausing the recordings and taking time in seconds/miliseconds).
Maybe another practical graph would be the time to increase speed in 50km/h increments:

DAMN, give me just 2m and im happy lmao
İs it possible to tell us why J-11 gets more thrust from engines compared to SU-27 at low speed despite being the same plane with EXACTLY SAME ENGİNES?
war thunder reddit is well known for hating Soviet stuff and shouting Russian bias at everything, but when a post like this has over 900 upvotes, I think it’s fair to say that everyone agrees that the su27’s FM is horrible

the radar is completely wonky funky janky as well, cant lock headon targets coming at you at 5km altitude, lol. acm is broken and doesnt work half the time as well.

bro i keep locking chafs for some reason with my damn PD radar
