I know, but I would’ve figured they woulda just made the proportions larger and keep the shape from the original Flanker.

but, that does make sense-

Anyone gonna report that ESA radars should be able to fire SARH missiles in TWS and guide multiple of them?

I’ve only seen that for the irbis radar, which can guide 2 27ers at once.

bars can guide 2 as well

You mean without hardlock and while keeping the TWS tracking on the selected target?

ESA radars can hardlock and continue scanning at the same time

Essentially what it’s saying is that the R-27A (not ea) was test fired, on a mig-29. From what I can tell, EA was not fired. So, seekerhead exists, and was test fired. And, the seeker head can be mounted on the extended range motor. So, it could probably be added. Right now? Hell no. When the aim-120c5 is released, R-27EA can be added as its equivalent.

Could be added to MiG-29? Well, maybe. From what i heard that should be an MiG-29S

But for other planes that shouldnt be evidence, since that is different missile(from what they already have), aswell as R-27AE never existed, only R-27A.

R-27EA would be strong but easier to defeat than an R-27ER

This makes no sense just so we’re clear

Russians don’t really have an aim 120 c-5 equivalent, their next missile is going to be the r-77m, which is more of an aim-120 (d) equivalent. And the r-77-1 has performance that’s between the aim-120 a/b and c-5.

not really, in game it still lacks range in bvr to the aim120a when drag and target defensive flying is accounted for, they are sidegrades

Just rework the R-77’s drag
