The implementation of IR-Heads is quite mediocre

Блок астатизма или что?
To my understanding,
The SM2 puts in the PESA radar from the Su-35
And the SM3 puts in all the other avionics from the 35, such as Thrust vectoring engines (though, it may have just been stronger engines)
And the only difference between the SM3 and Su-35 is that Su-35 is used for brand new airframes while SM3 is used for older frames upgraded to the new standard
No. SM2 doesn’t exist. SM3 just have better thrust and 2 additional hardpoints.

Really?
Can I get a source? I really love reading about Flankers.
Double rack R-77 for Su-27SM
I think the devs just gave up on the su27, the last bug report about the fm hasn’t had any updates yet

And the loadout preset screen
It going to be fun, 8 Fox-3
Wonder if J-11A will get same the update
I saw it only at Su-35S.
Yeah but gaijin decided to add it to Su-27SM. I guess all Flankers will have it from now on.
Is adding 2 more missiles really the way Gaijin intends to fix the SU27SM? Unless the radar gets a significant buff this is nothing more than a joke.

To be fair you would still fire R-77 hot of rails anyway and two extra Fox-3 means you can take two more R-27ER
8 worse fox-3 than F-15C which also gets 8, not enough to make the plane meta relevant
Yeah, no arguments here. As long as FM the way it is it wouldn’t get better. But hey, at least some positives!

its the instructor that needs fixing mostly
Still only 2 of the actual 4 DL channels.
But it doesn’t really matter I guess since the R77 is nigh-useless past pitbull range.
The SU27SM didn’t need more missiles. It needed a usable radar and a FM that at least tries to replicate the real SU27.

it does not have 4 DL channels, manufacturer website for N001VEP states that it has 1 and can be upgraded to 2
It is supposedly getting 20 km HMS, together with MiG-29SMT and Yak-141.

A welcome change
Maybe they can do something about the flight instructor?
