They can’t be fired/track a target, it’s using wrong pylons

Launchers under and between intakes are AKU, they don’t contain coolant bottle, but has spring for safe detach and push

You might think so, but it’s not true. The Su-34 uses either ARM or Khibiny to gather information. The NU is what aggregates this information. Your assumption is dashed by the lack of antennas on the Su-34 itself.

Like semi RWR. As the Su-34 pilot said: “Khibiny may show some radiation, but we are warned about the launch by the ground station or escort.”

chat my r-77 lacking maneuverability bug report got accepted. now its time for them to sit on it and never implement it like the aam4 bug reports lol

as far as i know, AAM-4 and PL-12 are deliberately nerfed in the game for the sake of balance. That’s why gaijin ignores bug reports about them. R-77 however might get a chance to actually recieve a buff, we’ll see.

imo if they implement this buff they need to fix all other fox 3s as well. aam4, pl-12, amraam etc

if they fix this they absolutely have to undo their amraam fin AOA nerf

to be fair I would report it if I could get sources for it. like I’ve been asked to make bug reports on completely stuff and i can as long as the sources are valid, the thing with amraam is that there aren’t any proper sources for its hobs performance

how deep did the saboteurs have to go to get the arms procurement office to approve an aircraft without an RWR

A little reminder. The only fighter that was in service with Admiral Kuznetsov was the Su-33 … Which until the early 2000s was also without RWR.

Can’t forget about the ~2 or so surviving 29K 9.31s from the 80s program that still flew around till a couple years after the 9.41 deal. :)

(Which had SPO-15LM)

Depends on a role of said aircraft. And how its defencive suite is organised. We don’t know in details how effective Khibiny is, with strong enough EW you might not necessarily need an RWR. But yeah, placing it just in case should’ve been considered at least.

It costs money.

It’s still truly sad how robbed Su-33 was in it’s development and over the years… If only the VMAF wasn’t chronically on the back burner after their once a decade and a half big purchase…

Nice to see, hopefully in the next dev server this can be worked on if the review from devs is positive.

We have all heard that famous Patriot defense from the Su-34 the Ground controller can see everything.
