Dude you don’t even play in ARB only Sim where the Su-27 can sneak up with just turning on IRST on unsuspecting blufor
When most complains of the Su-27 platform is in ARB
Not really. But it’s not different than any other modern jet: If you can’t use the source that says something then it’s not like it’s going to change anyway.
no, thats just no
your radar is alot more important in sim

yeah they started to ignore the flight manual and are saying
“it is just a pdf a guy made”
1 advantage of sim is the lack of markers, that’s where IRST is really strong because you can sneak up on people
Then they aren’t using it right. The advantages of the Su-27SM are amplified in ARB since it has better situational awareness than it normally would.
You have a link to the report?
iam gonna look for it
I always thought the flanker was more than enough for the meta even when they used t-10 documents to model it because of its powerful payload (although it wasn’t nice to have such a lazily made FM)…

It’s not because the IRST is significantly underperforming, and it’s interaction with the FCS is also incorrect, but that’s a symptom of the implementation for all in-game not just the Su-27.
You’re better off just keeping an R-73 spooled up and looking around than you are using the IRST.
In what part of IRST is really strong = underperforming? People literally turn off the crappy N001 set and hug the ground against space climbing blufor just to ambush them with ETs (and the lack of markers helps with that)
the irst dosent help you seeing a guy contrailing
you just see them naturally

There’s literally a trend in ASB rn because blufor got comfy and complacent with ARH slinging and aren’t able to properly counter the mid as heck 30SM
Because it’s not really strong? I generally spot targets visually before the IRST can lock them.
HMD IR then, happy now?
but why would i need to ir lock him?
i can kill a guy that spaceclimed just as well in a Eurofighter or even Gripen
Cause you need an IR lock to shoot a missile?
oh i thought you meant an hms ir hardlock
but even then pretty much every jet in that bracket has hmd/hms
I mean it’s also there to give you range data
