The website isn’t loading but it basically states that su-30sm is the only one that uses modern bars that has the upgraded limits.
N011m for su-30mkm only 40 degrees each way
N011m for su-30sm is 45 degrees (much newer)
Right but doesn’t that mean that both the SM and MKM should be able to scan ESA lets say -70 to +10 for the MKM and -70 to +15 for the SM?
Yeah it does in game do that.
The esa scan area changes as you move the radar dish left or right.
Also does the same for su-30sm2 but it’s 120 degrees instead of 90 degrees for sm or 80 for mkm
So both the SM and MKM should be nerfed to ±70 azimuth from ±90 we have in game
They’re already ±70
I think you’re confusing ±45 with ±90. ±45 is 90.
±40 is 80.
Switched to few games in Su-27 after my F-15A. Gaijin did not appreciate that and PL spiked me into the ground

Wait no im getting confused. Right it should be buffed from ±45 to ±70
The radar on the MKM has 90x80 rn though, am I missing something?
Ohhhh.
The radar of the su-30mki variants are not 70 degrees ESA.
It’s ±45 or 40 degrees ESA then it’s 30 degrees horizontally mechanically driven.
So largest scan zone is limited to ±40-45 degrees
i think the 90x80 is with the E-scan + mech
Right so the pilot can mechanically turn the radar 30 degrees left or right to move the ESA scan zone right
Yeah. And that’s what we have in game.
Max scan zone of 90x90 and then you can move it within a 140 degree zone horizontally
Right I see the 140 degrees in test drive, but why is the tws 80x7? Looks like they got the ±40 esa right but why is the elevation only max 7 and goes down to 4 in other tws modes? Shouldn’t it be ±40 esa vertical too? Oh wait that’s the search mode, but the search modes should still be 80x80, why is it 80x7 like a little fan.
Basically it’s the zone where tws continuously updates.
I see. I couldn’t find any sources on the TWS tracking sector but do you know how Gaijin got 80x8 as the maximum?
Nah they prolly pulled it outta nowhere
Has anyone knows why the numbers keep twitching on TWS mode?
I was confused too. In test drive, it would switch from 8 to 7 randomly, but not glitching like this.
It happens on Russian SM/SM2 as well.
Good old R27ER slaps the bitch out of EFT ))
