I’m curious, what do you mean by that ? Do the N001 have access to other pattern than the current fixed one ? It’s one of my main issue with the SM since the SMT get both narrow and wider pattern which are very useful.
EDIT : oh I read the report and I see what you means. The scan rate is incorrect.
Bro is posting from a future where we have the SM3
I meant that the FBW will not allow you to overload more than 9 in the high-speed mode and 7 in supersonic mode
Wasn’t this improved on Su-35 and Su-30MKK?
Or am I remembering wrong
These aircraft have improved durability and there is no dip at transonic speed
I see.
Oh, ok.
What I was talking about is very low speed bleed at supersonic speeds.
About -10 km/h each second while turning at 12 G at ~1200 km/h (sea lvl, 20 min fuel, pylons with no missiles).
Not as close as actual F-16, but I must say, it can contest F-15 now instead of failing after one circle.
Still only part of the problem. No vertical tracking in TWS is another one.
Got sauce? Link to a thread or a screenshot of the DM (if the other person permits).
now that the Su-27SM has the new engines, it is the Su-27SM3
Not exactly. Apparently later Su-27SM’s were refitted with the same engines.
Plus the SM3 would have extra pylons.
Is it not sm3? It has 2 more missiles which means it’s sm3 no?
it has 2 more missiles already, the only difference is that they added them with the double belly pylons which are fictional on the Su-27SM, rather than adding extra wing pylons like the Su-27SM3, at this point it is effectively an SM3 in every aspect but name
Makes a big difference for munitions other than the R-77.
the only difference would be being able to take 2 more R-27ER if you choose to instead of only extra R-77
I’m talking about Kh-29TD’s in a CAS role.
Whether the R-77 double pylons are compatible or not with the SM, that’s still a separate question. Its still an Su-27SM.
SM3 can mount 14 missiles and has the ability to carry the more modern R77-1, and i think It has a better radar, but nothing special.
SM3 never received the better radar and it is 12 missiles, the double belly R-77 racks are Su-35 only
