Not sure how authentic these are, but seems like the gun ammo is off too? (In game it’s 180)

@_Fantom2451 @BBCRF @ID_Heaven Are the red ones supposed to be inert?

I’m assuming they inferred that if R-27s can be mounted underneath the engine nacelles then R-77s can too.

Though the issue remains:

There are only six radar guided air to air missiles in the picture.

FCS might be limited to six R-77s or six radar guided missiles …

Do you know why in that picture the R-27ER seeker head is a flat cone and not curved?

Oh, it is a P then. Are there any in service or is it just advertisement fluff?

Because inert

Currently the Su-30 is missing some of its hud symbology in Simulator difficulty

you rather want to ping a technical mod than the comunity manger
and spamming pings wont help either

It would be nice to see custom MFDs for Su-27SM, especially along with new R-77-1s.

It does have custom MFDs.

I pinged the tech mods and got no response, so I edited the post and pinged Smin.

i think it might just take a while for them to see it…

i dont want to know how many pings they get a day

I told you that 1100 km/h is the speed with suspensions…

1- That’s just some random picture on the internet … It’s not clear if it’s even authentic …

2- It’s not clear what the date is.

3- The one you cropped is for the Su-32.
The one for Su-34E lists Mach 1.45 and 1100 kph with 4x air to air missiles (and 4x air to air missiles, which judging by the other one probably are 2x R-73 + 2x R-77, don’t have that much impact on speed; Certainly won’t make you go from 1450 or 1400 kph to 1100 kph …)

That makes sense. A 4th gen aircraft not being able to go beyond 1100 kph on deck with such powerful engines on afterburner is just crazy lol.

Different images showing the same 1100 figure with and without payload installed on it further corroborates with it being just the indicated speed.

No it actually makes sense since it’s a huge and draggy airframe.

Su-30 variants have a max speed of 1350 kph on the deck with less draggy airframe, and even Su-35 with even less draggy airframe and higher thrust engines has a max speed of 1400 kph on the deck.

And that’s assuming that the speed limit is due to drag/thrust rather than due to structural limit and buffeting or loss of control etc …
