Well, you got me. In that case we should wait for the c which If I’m not mistaken also get improved maneiverability.
Isn’t it worse given it has smaller fins to fit into weapon bays of stealth aircraft?
I’m not sure, i have little knowledge on those modern missiles, only basic info.
The problems with R-77 is that missile shouldn’t bleed as much as it’s in game. IRL R-77 and comparable and range adventage isn’t that huge as in game. R-77 just suck on range but has some adventages for example high off-boresigh shot. For my the main problem with current Su-27SM compare to other top tier jets is crap radar, much worst BVR capabilities. FM could be better but rn it feels fine.

I think bars will improve the plane by a large margin, rafale performs Very good although Mica doesn’t have good range compared to amraams.
Not saying the bars is better than rafale’s radar, but still, much better than the one we have now for the su27sm

But it’s not, in some plane you can get kill from 50km every much just use DL and TWS to help that amraam get a kill. I tested it in EF-2000 and getting kill on very long range is really consistant.
Yea Bars will help a lot much modern PESA radar with gimbal would be great.
I might be wrong but on range Mica is pretty similar to R-77 if we are talking about efficienty.

They’re doing the same to the F-14. It’s digusting.
Could be better but after Having used the derby I am
More than Happy with the r77
The Derby is literally just an aim120 short range and a r77 long Range
I didn’t have that questionable pleasure of using Derby but know it’s crap. But a good thing is only 1 TT plane has those.
I know atleat two the British Gripen and the Israel F-16
If i remember correctly F-16C barak II and F-16D have them but Barak II can use AIM-120. And Gripen has R-darter, honestly i don’t know if those are C&P Derby or what but also garbage.
Sadly there is no plane with both r77 and aim120 to Test the performance between those two
And the only graphs I could find start at 15km
It isn’t specific to any one aircraft, that’s available to any R-77[-1] carrier.
only Su-35S uses them IRL
Only Su-35S’s have been seen with them IRL, as the only sighting of it was at an arms expo on an aircraft from the 23rd IAP, which is VERY well known for their Su-27SMs as well.
The turn rate and speed bleed is still far from what it should be… See this video by Squishface.
