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

Yes, that’s the ESA change

The yellow area should be a blind spot that cannot be tracked because the radar is tilted due to the gimbal.

Because ESA radars are electronically tilted. Mechnical tilt for Bars is on the Y-axis

The accepted report stated that the azimuth had electronic scanning ±45°.link

Oh wait you’re right. I mixed up the axises. My bad

I don’t understand why this was treated as a duplicate of a completely different report. The report that it is said to be the same as is about the elevation angle being ±45°.

Maybe they will replace Kh-38 by Kh-59M on Su-30SM?

I made a janky suggestion lol

Thank you.

Lock sound is the same, seems like it chimes in when new RWR contact appears. Also it seems to affect all L-150 equipped aircraft

Could be, but it starts to chime at 0:12 then 9K3 locks on, before before Rita informs “Атака ЗРК”

Kh-59M is worse than Kh-38 and Kh-29T.

Still no target box over hud :(

What message?

ofc it can, gaijin just needs to fix the flanker’s FM definitely, instead of giving small increments from time to time, everyone knows what is missing, they just dont want to fix it, the same goes for the fulcrum

What makes the Kh-59M worse?

Seeker from Kh-29T. But much heavier and bigger, less count and more flight performance penalty. Slow because of turbine engine. IRL it has Man In The loop and datalink, but it is not implemented in game.

The only ingame use I see - Anti ship missile in ASB.

It have much bigger range what is very good thing for sim.

You just cannot lock targets at such distances, except ASB ships.
