Su-27M with AL-41F would be wild

I still can’t accept that Tommy died.

@Dzhkグ only very basic info about Su-34 avionics. It seems that at the time of the release of this book Su-34 just hit serial production

It brings up Sch-141 on page 39.

yeah product page for n001vep says it’s compatible with rvv-sd after upgrade, scroll to very bottom for it

Is the upgraded radar still called N001-VEP?

I assumed since it wasn’t mentioned in the table at the top it was only a proposed modernization.

yeah it’s an upgrade program for customers that already had n001vep that wanted cheap upgrades.

It’s why IRL most export n001veps actually have only 1 datalink channel.

The only planes I’m aware of that has fully upgraded n001vep is 27sm3

Ohh, alright. That makes sense. Balta and I were spending a while trying to find out if any M2/MK2s could use R-77-1.

Also, gotta love Gaijin’s “consistency.”

I wait pre-production of Flanker-A, another VKS Flanker on rank 8 (battle rating 13.3 & 14.0) and Naval Flanker

Basically the same, I run 32 flares and 66 chaff, with the extra dispenser it would amount to a nice and round 80 chaff and 32 flares :)

What naval flankers are there other than Su-33? Also for 14.0 would the Su-27SM3 work? With R-77-1, and while removing the extra pylons of the SM that it shouldn’t have.
For 13.3, I guess Su-30M2? It’s very similar to the MK2 AMV right?

an early Su-33 without RWR

R-77-1 intergration (among other weapons) was one of the main features of the SM3 program, yes.

There was plans for KAB-500S, Kh-59M, R-77-1, R-74M and R-37M but only R-77-1 made it out alive.

So, with R-77-1 it would be 14.0 ig?
Would be a nice gap filler

can’t be higher in current compressed matchmaker. But with good ol’ N001 R-77-1 will loose like half of it’s effectiveness.

Issue is that some of the SM-3 features are already on the current SM, like double rack and (correct me if I am wrong) IIRC engine. Also some of the ground ordinance.

Can be removed from the SM, Gaijin loves to force more grind so it would be a way to push players to grind the SM3.
And tbh I’d support it, I think realism is important
