Literally spend zero effort in modeling lol

It, honestly, so weird that 30SM having this modeling issues while same Su-33, for isntance, have IIRC correctly modeled area around it canards and wings

there were other bug reports, but they were less elaborate and others that were accepted, but I didn’t include them either because i didn’t think it was necessary, lol

How gaijin can even justify this… AIM-7P vs R-77-1. (R77-1 are bleeding speed unrealistically and need to be fixed in DEV) : r/Warthunder

Almost like 1 person actually conducted evasive maneuvers to bleed the missile of energy, while the other flew straight into it like an idiot… strange…

to be fair, the su30sm shot the r77-1 from 30km away and it was flying very low compared to the f18 at 4000m of alt… it makes sense that the r77-1 couldn’t hit this, it wasted all its energy going up + turning

Multipath just ate all of his braincells.

Yea that was a terrible shot/play by the flanker. But the missile was already losing way too much speed even before the F-18 did any maneuvers. When the F-18 crank for like 3 second and the R-77-1 lose half it speed.

What is maximum climb rate of Su-30SM?

Finally had some time to test the dev server. First of all @Grimtax so happy your radar bug report finally got accepted. The effect was definitely felt on the Su-27SM and EFT (the latter probably also thanks to the new TWS).

Su-30SM is heavy as expected but at least R-77-1 compensates for it… still there were much better choices imho.
