su-35 has very little internal ecm though, how to fight other ecm planes with no ecm(unless they make it nothingburger)
Dont forget custom missiles and pylons, as a treat

Good thing that Melk exist on WT live, guy makes some pretty impressive loadout/cockpit reworka.
It’s easy, you just play US. But jokes aside, I have zero clue how ECM will be modelled, it has a potential to be game changer or absolutely nothing

I hope we get R-27P/EPs before hand.
Those are gonna be so funny.
I might give it a go again.
I tried a while ago but I couldn’t find the perfect shade, got mad, and gave up.
R-77M has a dual-mode seeker so gaijin better model that shit

I can’t wait for the Five Billion “R-27EP hit me with no radar warning” complaints.
Most of them will be from US mains because tgey are the only ones without integrated MAW (unless EX will get it due to “technical compatibility”)
I really hope Gaijin changes the PIDS (the CMs + MAWS) on the PoBIT. Afaik it should be able to use Missiles. :/
But yeah, other than that the US will only possibly get MAWS on the EX.
And the Super Hornet iirc through a big ass pod but I’m not sure on that.
there is podded DIRCM for the Super Hornet that has its own MAW
does flanker have anything similar?
it isnt that big iirc, its called TADIRCM

useless with the DL Fox2 meta.
Pretty cool. Hornet not gonna be a good competition at top tier against monsters like F-15EX or Su-35 but this might help with survivability
Afaik, there nothing like that on Su-35, only Su-57 has LDIRCM turrets installed

Neither of which would be marketably better than the current top dogs tbf. The monsters probably will be meteor equipped eurocanards when it comes to gen 4 jets.
With current weapon kit, maybe. But if you are mentioning Meteors, then you probably know that in this case Su-35S will get at least R-77Ms or even R-37Ms which will give Meteors run for their money quite easily
Well, not the F15EX. The Su35 would be a sidegrade to the SM2 in many aspects.
The R77M from my understanding is closer to the AIM120D than it is to the longer range missiles such as the R37, meteor or PL15. The R37 is also a big fat missiles. And the phoenixes are a good demonstration of gaijin’s in game implementation of such missiles. It’s to be seen how much maneuverability potential it’d have at range, compared to the meteor which can control its engine output across a much larger flight path, or even the PL15, which is a leaner missile
It’s a big fat missile that goes Mach 6. If Fakour-90 says something, it is that fast missile = dangerous missile. You also might be overestimating Meteor capabilities in terms of agility. Ramjet engine requires stable airflow, so i doubt that Meteor is capable of pulling massive AoA without killing its own engine in the process.
It has dual pulse motor, so it will remain kinematically dangerous at pretty much any range

Sure it’s better than the AIM56, but saying that the fakour is dangerous is still a stretch.
But then why not bringing MICA NG and Derby ER in the discussion of which will be the best ? I think MICA NG can give the R77M a good run for its money as well.
This is not the problem of a missile, but the platform. Fakours are defeated easily because IRIAF simply incapable of keeping DL connection stable. Put Fakour on anything that can - and you will get something pretty broken.
Is it installed on an aircraft? Last time i checked it was still in testing. R-77M ejectors are installed on freshly produced Su-35Ss since March 2025
Officially should enter service later this year. Most probably will do so around next year. I don’t expect those dual pulse missiles to come before even later than that in game. We will probably first see gen 5 and modern IR missiles first
