Why would you develop a carrier aircraft for a carrier that doesn’t work

It just hasn’t aged well

Gotta love that afterburner color

Was looking at the dubai airshow footage to see a bit of the Su57, but came across the Hal Tejas incident, rip pilot.

something happened? I haven’t looked trough airshow apart some glances on Russian exhibits

Hal Tejas made a strange maneuver and slammed into the ground.

Oh, rip. Pilot work is quite dangerous even without combat. Hope his family will be taken care off.

every ARH is nerfed in some way

@FeetPics you just have to make a vers.3 but replace “Su-27” with “J-11 (Chinese designation for Su-27SK)”

I actually wonder if they would implement this kind of stuff. For example, the n019/n001 radar loses track if you roll too much and too fast, and that isn’t modeled. Neither is flight speed limits depending on ordinance, etc etc

well its the engine malfuntion, same with hydraulic fail/leak, there is some image that show that the engine had white smoke comming out on the side

Radar roll stabilization is modelled. Not for rolling too fast, but for rolling too much.

i am sure it does have the upgraded as the r37m cannot be use at it full range, 200km radar su30sm and 280km r37m.

I’m talking about when hardlocked

Weird, some radars used to lose locks if you rolled too much, but i just tested it and it doesnt anymore. Maybe theres a bug or something.

Or most likely Gaijin ditched the limitation because they deemed that it got in the way of their ambition to have the game as accessible as possible.

Strange when you consider they are US made engines!

Pretty much everything I’ve read about the SM2 said it has AL-41s and Irbis, so…

it definitely doesn’t have irbis or al-41f. here’s a russian mod documentary on it (it’s in russian) and it states it still uses the same old engines and still using bars, just upgraded with more range.
Anyone telling you it uses al-41f or irbis just don’t know
