there were other bug reports, but they were less elaborate and others that were accepted, but I didn’t include them either because i didn’t think it was necessary, lol
Almost like 1 person actually conducted evasive maneuvers to bleed the missile of energy, while the other flew straight into it like an idiot… strange…
to be fair, the su30sm shot the r77-1 from 30km away and it was flying very low compared to the f18 at 4000m of alt… it makes sense that the r77-1 couldn’t hit this, it wasted all its energy going up + turning
Yea that was a terrible shot/play by the flanker. But the missile was already losing way too much speed even before the F-18 did any maneuvers. When the F-18 crank for like 3 second and the R-77-1 lose half it speed.
Finally had some time to test the dev server. First of all @Grimtax so happy your radar bug report finally got accepted. The effect was definitely felt on the Su-27SM and EFT (the latter probably also thanks to the new TWS).
Su-30SM is heavy as expected but at least R-77-1 compensates for it… still there were much better choices imho.
i feel like the horizontal elevators of the su30sm are not responsive enough like the su27sm, idk, it feels a little bit weird, i was expecting a heavy plane that would at least have 1 really good turn(better than the su27s/sm/su33) cause of the canards+tvc
but I’m so happy because of the new and good radar that I don’t even care about the FM lol
from some tests with a friend, the su30sm couldnt turn better than the su27sm with both doing the merge at 750/800km/h with min fuel and clean :( (the su27sm always pointed the nose first and made a tighter turn - oh and that ofc with the limiter on)
yeah, i didnt even use the su34 since it was added to the game cause i dont enjoy grb anymore, so i was stuck with the su27sm, when i tested the su30sm i was like
:OOOOOOO THIS RADAR IS AMAZING, I CAN SEE THINGS- lmfao
After couple days of testing Su-30 radar locks onto missiles perfectly but not the aircraft firing the missiles. I probably have more missile shoot downs than aircraft frags in the Su-30.
Last night i was trying to dogfight a Rafale in sim. Never won once. Skill issue? Probably.
Meanwhile the Rafale went 23-0 against me in the Su-30. Couldn’t lock them up no matter what i tried. Not IRST, not PD, nor TWS. Nothing would work.
