but yeah don’t be excited for it lmao its so terrible
it only carries 6 r77 (if they dont give it double racks) lol
gonna be even worse than the Su-33 since its like 18400kg empty and has 12690kgf. and this is probably gonna weight close to the su-30sm we have in game rn and only have the 11660kgf
su-33 is closer to 19000 kg than 18400
and here is mk2 radar/irst, n001vep. same as su27sm
I had like 50% hope this would be the time for Mig-25 or 31, just to see them in the game…
Mig25 (dreams come true)
or
Mig31 TT
Gotta look forward to the december update I guess

Yep pancake
i have a hunch that it won’t get R-77 to keep it as a 13.0 premium. I don’t think we ever had 13.7 premiums before. With this in mind it will just be a slightly better Su-33.
it gets less radar missiles though… 6 vs 8. and less air to air missiles total. same loadout as su-27s normal for air to air.
air to ground its better though
even if it gets r-77’s, if it really are only 6 then gaijin might put it at 13.3 as a worse Su-27SM

But it gets regular CM amount while keeping digital RWR, as well as slighltly better N001VEP.

true, although for regular arb i would probably rather have the extra 2 missiles ngl
At the same BR as SMT that has ONLY 6 missiles total? I dunno, it is possible but extremely stupid imo.
6 radar missiles, not total missiles. total is 10 air to air missiles, same as su-27s
dosent make a difference ingame all the N001’s behave the same (besides the ammount of DL channels)
VEP has longer lock distance. And i might be coping but i found it more notch resistant.
actually id rather have the n001vep because it gives a datalink indicator on the radar screen for 27ers which is nice. the normal n001 doesnt
SMT has the radar atleast, Zhuk-M wipes the floor with the N001VEP performance wise
Ye, i know, that’s why i said that it would be very weird to put it at 13.3, because this would imply that it is somehow equal to SMT, which is not, even without upgraded engines of 27SM.
