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

Well, even with money it would probably be cancelled anyways. Or at least not be in the way that this tech demonstrator was built

Still wish we could get MIG 1.44 in game.

Its such a gorgeous design (I know we can’t have it due to not having any concrete data about its performance and weaponry).

Can anyone explain me the advanced soviet technology which allows r27er to perfectly home on the for few seconds after losing lock (losing lock and then the hms mode, hence the radar isnt illuminating)

Honestly pretry weird

any IOG missile does that

IOG in WT acts like it still has a normal lock for a bit

I havent played 7p yet, but the 7m doesnt do that.

Thing is r27er can still home on to a turning target
With perfect accuracy for few seconds, i dont think iog should be that perfect

Irl the second host radar drops lock missile loses tracking.

Also irl iog is meant for capturing target before radar lock and not necessarily keeping track of target after loss of radar lock (because irl the second radar loses lock missile is trashed even if target is recaptured)

Another thing, is that these missiles were mostly limited because of how garbage the original su-27s/mig-29 radars.
Like there were plans for it to guide using tws for shooting multiple at once but that wasn’t realised until pesa radars were used.
Tis a shame that the production su-27 radar was forced to be so dogwater from the original planned one

That grapple hook is covered in something, for “grip” reasons in case of landing on an aircraft carrier.

OCR (original text):

5.6.5. При срыве захвата цели РЛПК, после схода ракеты с РГС и повторном захвате той же цели, режим ДПЛ для пущенной ракеты не возобновляется.

Translation (English):

5.6.5. If target lock by the radar fire-control system is lost after the missile has left the launcher with its radar seeker active, and the same target is re-acquired, the DPL mode for the launched missile is not resumed.

LLM translation reads much clearer.

Yeah I was using the machine translated manual from 2013 for the second pic… probably should’ve just throw the first pic into chat gpt or something for a better translation
