Sukhoi Su-27/30/33/35/37 Flanker series & Su-34 Fullback - History, Design, Performance & Dissection (Part 2)

still cant believe they still didnt add the extra cms.

I feel like that its a Physical limitation of the pilot than the Radar itself. And with that i feel like it should be add to all Jets/radar.

No its not lol.
Russian HMS devices are overperforming in game

Also that source specifically talks about RADAR hms limits

also irbis should have a small scan zone that has increased range

that looks actually like the bars in this brochure

especially if you look at the base where the radar was mounted in the nose

Yea i know that brochure. Its that its odd that the radar can search beyond that. But the helm can’t.

it specifically states irbis and not this bars thing

@GitGood looks like we’re both right for the su-30 variant that tested irbis.
Su-30mk 503 was originally a su-30mk/mkk, then it got upgraded to mk2

shouldnt the su30 have 6 rockets pod instead of 4 ?

probably not

since that is still a brochure for the Su-35

and its probably highly unlikely/ or straight up impossible to find a pic of a rocket pod being mounted there on the Su-30SM2

Shouldn’t Su-30SM2 be around 19 ton or even heavier since it got AL-41F-1S and N035?

Its been like forever since i started playing like 8 years ago. Dont think it will change.

No35 is lighter than the bars radar , AL41F1S is similar in terms of weight.

Bars weighs 650kg (whole radar) and the anntenna weighs 100kg
Irbis weighs 480kg (whole radar) and the anntenna weighs 60kg
