Only 1,12,11 pylons. Those are brochures and photos from 2007 so most likely AAM-L. I don’t think Sukhoi would refer to non existing missile yet(ye i know R-37 existed but M wasn’t). For sure instead of “old” long range missile they swap it for R-37M in late 2010s
sounds just logical to me the aim120a/b have longer fins so they take up more space (something f15 golden eagle users can experience first hand it can mount 12x120c/d but only 8 120a/b)
i actually would agree on KS-172 aka AAM-L, because, as you ccan see, only one missile is placed between nacelles. Su-35S can carry 2 of R-37M there, but KS-172 is stupidly long so most likely only one. Same reason why it is probably not placed under nacelles, it is just too long and would clip into the ground. Another thing is that, depending on the year of brochure - RVV-BD might not refer specifically to export version of R-37M, but instead to an abstract missile that will be result of the program with the same name, that eventually ended to be R-37M. Both KS-172 and R-37M were competing in that one.
Also i wonder if it’s wrong translation or brochure actually talks about R-27 with passive seekerhead. Russian R is like English P

it not, bc it can only carry the 27ep on the same pylons that it can carry the 27et
thats why there is only 4 of them
also the 27p was actively advertised with the su35

Oh, pretty cool to know. Thank you. But also, doesn’t that mean that Su-35S can carry 4 R-27ETs?
F-15EX first.
yes it can carry 4 of them
the one in front is carrying it on the inner wing pylon and the one in the rear is carrying it on the “center” wing pylon where we already have it on other flankers
That is pretty pog. R-27ET remains to be one of the scariest missiles both in War Thunder and IRL. Being able to get 4 of them certainly opens a lot of interesting gameplay options for Su-35
please gib ukranian seeker for R-27ET gaijobles
which one?
we got the A3-10
and the A3-20
Just a poor poor mans ASRAAM
I can always bet on you talking trash about RU equipment without any reason whatsoever.

I would also like Fox-3 version of R-73 just for shits and giggles

Hey guys do you have pro tips for a new flanker player?..
Nothing special to say tbh, the plane is a beast and it’ll perform well in pretty much every scenario (dogfighting Guns only, dogfighting with r73s, bvr etc)
I recommend always picking 2 R27ETs to get ppl that aren’t paying attention/are running away
Also theres no need to put max fuel when playing small maps, 30 minutes is enough.

i never pick more than 26 minutes on pretty much every Flanker model. AL engines are very efficient
