R-27EA would be strong but easier to defeat than an R-27ER
This makes no sense just so we’re clear

Russians don’t really have an aim 120 c-5 equivalent, their next missile is going to be the r-77m, which is more of an aim-120 (d) equivalent. And the r-77-1 has performance that’s between the aim-120 a/b and c-5.
not really, in game it still lacks range in bvr to the aim120a when drag and target defensive flying is accounted for, they are sidegrades
Just rework the R-77’s drag

What is empty weight of Su-30SM and SM2?
Does the the SU-30 radar not have a PD mode? Or is this already on the bug list?
it isnt a bug
gaijin intentionally removed the SRC PD mode on the dev server
and i dont have any issues with that, it is not like you would use anything else besides TWS anyways
Really? U guys don’t use SRC PD at all?
is there a reason to use SRC PD?
There is no reason to use it, the radar is good enough so you don’t need it
If it had SRC PD it would just be another radar mode you have to cycle through
With non PESA radars, I always use it, except in BVR which R77 carriers are horrid at. I just use it cause it has better horizontal scan than TWS.

The su30 has a really good wide scan even in tws
most of my experience is with the N001 which has a static scan zones, so I wouldn’t really know
That is what I mean, N001 I never use it. Other PDs I just don’t like TWS, cause R27ER doesn’t work with it.
You can still hard lock ppl through tws
The radar is good enough that you don’t need SRC PD and r77-1 is also alot better at BVR than the normal r77
IK, but just with planes that have e.g 5 degree vertical in terms of TWS I tend to use PD. Also TWS sometimes gets my radar to random places and it is annoying having to constantly adjust.

Yeah, a lot of NATO players don’t realize JUST how bad the N001 radar is relative to its matchmaking peers. To them TWS “just works”. But the combination of the poor scan rate and inflexible scan angles on the N001 radar often means that your TWS contacts are too hideously out of date to reliably acquire any missile locks since the missile will try to lock an empty patch of sky due to the TWS lock being hideously stale. Before they fixed the vertical scan pattern bug I think that the worst case scenario was something ludicrous like upwards of 8 seconds between target updates.
