Sukhoi Su-27/30/33/35/37 Flanker series & Su-34 Fullback - History, Design, Performance & Dissection (Part 1)

Supposedly BVV_d said they’re considering giving the MiG-29SMT the T-220 as well

ET is of very specific usage, if one day you bother enough to research ussr tree you’ll see that it’ll only work on very specific scenarios (hello people trying to land on the af), r27er although monstruous against sparrows it’s not that effective against fox3s, it’s not impossible to play with like some say, but you’ll definitely lose against any aware fox3 user

You have 4 more missiles than any other nation
Yes they might not be perfect but its better than using the gun.

in terms of efficiency a f15c with 6 amraams +2 9ms is better than a su27sm with all of its might, simply because its missiles will hit more

AIM-120 are much more dangerous as they have advantage in range.

Thats the Radar and you know it.
The Su-27 Radar is trash

And that doesn’t count? Also aim120 is more efficient than the r77, that i guarantee you

Facepalm

freaking devserver won’t let me login

I suppose if it’s a “technical possibility” a reasoning they’ve used in the past.
It’s nice to see a fighter with a TGP for the USSR

here we go (print got pixeled idk why)

What camo it gets?

none for now

what engine?

How do you know it cant equip those pylons? Because i got this tid bit researching the Kh-38’s.

Both versions of the Grom are of 600 kg weight, with various guidance mechanisms, and both are created on the basis of the Kh-38M short-range tactical missile and also have modular structures, warheads and seekers. This weapon was first seen at MAKS 2015, and intended to equip all types of fighters

This implies that while only visually seen at MAKS on limited airframes, the missile itself was designed to be compatible with all other Russian aircraft. That would also include the Su-30SM which is obviously still in active service with the Russian military. The missile itself was used in multiple conflicts, where the SU-30SM has also been deployed. Its not known if the missile was specifically equipped on the Su-30SM during these conflicts but given the prior information, its far from unreasonable to assume that the Su-30SM can indeed equip and use a multi-purpose missile designed to be used with all active service fighters.

At long range yes as the range reduces it becomes less efficient

The grom-2 will not reach across the map 30 seconds after takeoff however. The problem with the grom-1 was the efficiency with no risk.

Can someone go into dev server Su-27 test flight, lock a target with IRST (not using ACM or HMD), change the range scale to 50 km, and send me a picture of the IRST screen from 3rd person?

I wanna see if they fixed the IRST range or not.

Only because the average cro-magnan Air RB player can’t avoid the easiest ARH missile to avoid. R-77 is miles better than AIM-120 when launched within correct parameters. Y’all just full of cope cause you can’t get into said parameters.
