You can tell which one is SME and which one is SM by the noticable drop in quality.
That alone together with one way dl would make it quite the good long range missile, don’t know how gaijin will implement aesa arh seekers though.
SM weight is the same as for the 30MK
and the SME weight is the same as for the “Su-30MK with canards and TVC”
Meteor, MICA NG and Meteor MLU all feature 2 way datalink IRL. In general, all the newest long range missiles feature 2 way datalink
They will give the Su-35 the Izd. 177S engine to make it different than the SM2. Trust

right now DTIC website is being updated so i cant acess it but if you search up “tadircm pod” its the DTIC link

Is there official documentation saying that certain flankers are capable of supercruising, and maybe some numbers too in that regard?
Considering their thrust is similar to AL-41, lmao
Su-35 should be able to supercruise iirc.

Hmm I see.
With SM2 and level flight I was able to kinda keep this speed, it maybe dropped by 1 kmh every 3 or 4 minutes, still pretty high.
i mean you are on 12 mins of fuel, a lot of the aircrafts can actually supercruise on very low fuel load and clean wing. IRL most likely nobody tested such things because it it hella dangerous to be at 10km with only 12 mins of fuel
supercruising at high altitude isnt really that impressive
the Mig-29 is able to supercruise given a high enough altitude
fuel load dosent affect top speed only acceleration
Fair point as I also had fuel consumption off.
I was also testing the Eurocanards on min fuel to see how close they’d get to their marketed numbers.
is it tho? I thought that you wll be slower, at least for aircrafts that are engine limited.
you will accelerate slower bc you plane has more mass and as a result more inertia
when an aircraft is engine limited it simply means that the engine isnt strong enough anymore to overcome the drag
the weight of the aircraft only starts to matter if you have to fly at high AoA to keep the plane in the air because then you are using part of your engine to overcome gravity to keep the plane in the air instead of relying on lift

the base Su-27 can supercruise at that altitude with a full missile load
and yet it isnt said to be capable of supercruising, just like the F-15A or F-16A
the reason for that is that they cant do it on lower altitude unlike the Eurofighter and Rafale for example
the Su-30SM2 isnt able to supercruise at sea level with a full missile load
but you can after you fire a few missiles
and the Su-27SM is able to do it after you fired all but 2 of your missiles

Yeah I see the difference now, I’ve only got around testing this stuff lately because I didn’t particularly care at the time they dropped.
Managed to hit Mach 1.1 in EFT at barely 500 meters, which is impressive, while at 9000+ I could reach well over 1.4.
Most curious about the F-22 numbers, when it drops one day.
Should be 1.8 at altitude.
Same with J-20.
