Nope. Even developed by different universities

What I’m worried about is the missile… R-77 is kinda mid i hope they give it R-77-1

We tried to prove this to the developers for a long time.

The devs seem quite egocentrical tbh, it’s hard for them to admit that they’re wrong sometimes.

Typhoons Radar is very poorly modelled
Then that goes against Aim120C.
There isn’t a version of R-77 that is superior to the Aim 120 variant

That is F-15E late and advanced eagle counterpart
Is not. The counterpart for that thing would be a “Su-35sm” with Su-57 avionic if that ever exist.
F-15SA then I guess for the Su-35S, from similar time. EX with SM, cool to have more flanker-eagle focused trailers
Technically the early F-15EX has only 12 amraam slots until it certifies the other possible layouts so they can easily modify this to make it a functional Su-30SM / Su-35 (base) counterpart.
Depending on what missile ordnance they want to add be it R-77-1 or R-77M they could move the Su-35 up or down in BR comparably to the Su-30SM.

Pretty sure how many missile a plane can carry is not a balance factor. If that would be the case the F-16c won’t sit on the same BR as F-15c.
But idk. It don’t feel right putting the Su-35s vs Late F-15 variants… I would like to wait for gaijin to add the Su-35s first and see how they model IRBIS radar. If we go with Stealthflanker calculations that thing is stupid and its better than a lot of AESA. At least on range. But if it get gaijined…meh.
F-15SA and Su-35S are direct counterparts to each other though, both are the next step of their respective airframes
Technically the only balance factor is how well the players do in the thing. If we collectively fly the F-15C really badly it will go down in BR even further.
So… SA will be USA subtree?
Maybe not a subtree since it is one vehicle, but even then, look at the roundel under the pilot of this F-15SA

The addition of R-77-1 would not require the AIM-120C.

they are counterparts to each other. if you really want to be specific, R-77-1 is most direct counterpart to the AIM-120D but for WT purposes the C-5 will work
Itd be the best short-medium range missile in-game and the roughly the 3rd best at long range, being nearly equivalent to a MICA at short(dogfight) range, superior to a MICA at medium (sub 20km) range, and roughly equivalent to a PL-12 at long range if the charts still hold true.
That would make it the new best missile in-game, hands down.

It would if they were properly modeled.

Not even remotely, at short to medium ranges the MICA takes the cake because it can be fired so far off boresight and still guarantee a kill. Ideally they’d allow the RWR to give weapons grade inertial mid-course information to launch at targets 90 degrees or more left or right of the launcher.
Scary dealing with M2K, Rafale because they just launch missiles at you without ever giving you any indication that they’re aware of your existence.
