It is yeah, they’ve moved the camera a bit to be more towards the centre of the munition and moved it closer in

camera is more free, i agree. Don’t think it was this way before

here a higher quality one

So much better than before
I hate not being able to spectate my missile properly because it is either too far away or hidden when I zoom in

All this cool camera updates and Kh-31 still doesn’t have it’s animation modelled properly.

Also the camera got centered vertically, on live if you zoom on a missile in flight it ends up at the very bottom of the screen as if it were a plane.

shouldnt the Su-33 have an ESM even if it is completely useless since its part of the L-150 system?

ESM not added if there is no ARM

looks so much better. i just hope they add fin animation then it would be perfect.

Most likely by the end of year

The plane itself isn’t gonna add much over the Su-30SM2 though …

Just gonna be newer missiles which is not a given will come initially and even when they do I don’t see how something like R-37 or R-77M would be much of a change to the gameplay.

R-77-1 already has plenty of range as far as WT goes …

the R-37 would probably be good in the same way the Fakour 90 is good, its speed and ttk

so basically an AFK check at the start of the match

Do we have info on its burn time?

I assumed it would be long burning like Phoenix to achieve longer ranges

Fakour is kinda an exception since the motor was designed for a SAM launching from stationary at ground level, requiring a lot of initial thrust.

Shouldn’t it have more than 1 burn?

Like a second one for terminal phase.

iam not sure

for that it is probably best to look into the R-33 since the R-37 is a further development from it
