There is also the history of the R-27, which was quickly becoming known as difficult to maintain, fickle in austere environments and for a while - in short supply. The export market deteriorated.
Similar issues hit the tank fleet, the T-90 was named to suggest that they made a new tank and to hide the fact that it was an upgraded T-72B (1989). The tank was losing its’ value in the export market and it surely lost a lot of reputation after 1991.
In 1991, the T-90 was not yet available, the name appeared in June 1992…
On September 30, 1992, the first “Object 188” of the installation batch left the factory workshops.
In October 1992, the T-90 was adopted by the Russian army.
Despite the CAATSA law, which forced Egypt to abandon the Su-35…Egypt does not intend to give up on the T-90MS!..

Unfair competition in action…
Anyone want to work together on a bug report for Soviet/Rus HMS, so we can get proper circle that locks onto target when looking out of cockpit rather than a static circle?
It doesnt do that IRL
Its literally connected to head
Ah, okay wow, it’s quite literally just two static circles?
With option to flash/etc
But yes
The representation of it in DCS is inaccurate?
It just old and from FC2
Prob new MiG-29 will be with accurate one
Gotcha thanks so much for the info :D Good day, Kit!
no. The R-27EA was canceled in favor of the R-77. The R-27EA/ER is a very heavy 353kg missile against 175. The R-77 appeared as a response to the American AMRAAM. Potentially, the P-77 could accept more carriers and they could also be placed more, because the load on the supply point was less
Su-30SM would be 14.3
Su-27SM3, Su-30SM, Su-30SME, Su-30SM2, MiG-29K R (9-41), MiG-29SMT (9-19), Su-35S, MiG-35 and Su-57
Lack R-73M
Idk why, but the idea of that our 29SMT could get another ordinance “upgrade” is very funny for me
Isnt difference between R-73 and R-73M is literally R-73M have greater range?
Can’t the SU-30 technically mount the R-37?
Compared to Python 4 ?
I think lack R-73M and R-77-1, but after decompression to 14.0
Removed R-27R & R-27T only
Sorry. But i don’t know in what bases you can said that it will be 14.3. The plane use the same engine as other Vanilla Su-27 just with TVC, i don’t even think it can use the new engine that gaijin put on Su-33/Su-34 or Su-27sm. And if nothing its heavy; Canard, Two-seat, TVC. All of them add weight to the plane. Even with R-77-1 it will never be the first plane on the line doing BVR, that its not happening. Sure it will turn better, even better than the Su-33 or Su-27sm. And it will have a better radar too, but even that radar its not close to an AESA or the Captor-m when they finale fixed that thing. So it will be just a “rat fighter”.
Don’t even talk about other missile. Because if gaijin add a new missile for the Su-30sm other nations will cry for they stuff. Like aim9x or mica-ir. That conversation its out of the Windows. Even R-77-1 its pushing it.
Between each other (especially since we dont have Python 4 to compare with, sooo)
What I’ve found, the su-30sm uses the same engines as the 34 and the now updated su-27sm just with thrust vectoring. It doesn’t use the su-27s engines as they were never given the option of tvc. I would love to see the su-37 though as it uses different tvc engines producing more thrust than the engines on the su-35, it would be a cool aircraft to add and it would also fix the radar issue with most of the flankers in game as it uses a pesa radar
At present, no R-77-1 / RVV-SD model
MiG-29SMT (9-19), Su-27SM3, MiG-29KR, Su-30SM2, Su-35S and MiG-35
Because Su-30SM carries 10 R-77 & R-77-1 max and AL-31FP Engines with 3D Thrust-Vectoring great manoeuvrebility at low speed
Improved IRCCM and 60° off-boresight
I suppose close to R-74M
I’m well aware, I said the name “T-72” was no longer appealing especially after 1991. Take your time reading.
The fact that the thrust to weight will be worse than Su-27SM is why I think it is not going to be that strong in air RB, possibly worse then the Su-27SM itself if radar scan pattern gets fixed. Without missiles that have NO PLACE currently in game like the R-37M a better radar gives marginal returns (EFT for example still smokes everything despite the radar being currently worse than the F-16C one).
