Sukhoi Su-27/30/33/35/37 Flanker series & Su-34 Fullback - History, Design, Performance & Dissection (Part 3)

Could be an option, even though if the EX and 35 dropped next patch I doubt the EX would have the D3, since they just added the D last update, maybe that can be a thing for the december patch or even later.

My best guess is that new gen IR’s are planned for a month from now, but new ARH, I doubt it.

Took them like nearly 2 years for the nuclear map.

Doubt it we are gonna get next gen fox 3 in the next 1.5 years.

Gaijin being gaijin where they dont care at all at the maps and just let player kill each other in 60x60km maps like in a animal cage

These damn map devs, I doubt they even play their own game. The GRB situation is literally unhealthy. The Air RB, although a little better, isn’t in good shape either. We urgently need maps the size of the nuclear map, maps with 150-200km+ for Air RB, new missiles. Although the meta has changed a lot since 2024, the overall gameplay hasn’t changed much. Climb high or fly low, fire some Fox 3 and wait for it to be lost to a single chaff. As for the GRB, I’ve already talked too much, I don’t even need to comment; that thing is an abyssal creature.

They’re both peak idk what you mean.

Same

In real life yes, but MiG-35 peak in war thunder? Gaijin said nope bro

Probably a MiG pilot stolen the thai ladyboy of BVVD

@GitGood do you know if the Laser IRST on MKK can actually lock and track targets with the laser? Kind of like a targeting pod.

This does say automatic tracking and laser measurement, so I would assume it should be able to.

I think tracking here means tracking with IRST itself, you know, good old lock. i dunno the exact sensitivity of such IRST sensors, technically it should be able to lock something like a tank with running engine (R-60M can be used against ground targets IRL), question is at what range

Does anyone know if N035 has been tested on any SM2 airframes?

I know it was mounted on a 30MKK and M2 back in the 2000s during testing so it seems possible.

But should it retain the same gimbal limits as the 35S? The 35S does have a different nose shape after all so I assume not.

According to UAC & Rostec they have upgraded radars, but don’t specify N035.

Some will say “there’s only one radar with the stated performance improvements and that’s the N035” etc etc so naturally it’s fine

Only air

This is not true.

Which part?

The only declared improvements are radar range and weapons integration. None of this requires the installation of the N035. Upgrading the Bars is sufficient.

Oh yeah I know that. The original post you replied to earlier was made with spoons full of sarcasm. Glad to see someone else have the same info/arrived to the same conclusion a few of us on here arrived to as well.

does Russia use the normal R-77 in any meaningful numbers? i remember reading they never adopted in any large numbers and i have this one photo of an Su-27SM armed with either an R-77 or R-77-1 from post 2022 (Photo quality to low to ID which one it is)

Nope, R-77 production was based in Ukraine by most part. Russia produces only R-77-1 for domestic use and only RVV-AE for export (if it is even produced nowadays)

looks like a normal Su-27SM judging by the lack of the extra antenna between the canopy and air brake found on the SM3, and its not an Su-35S since it has the older vertical stabilizers and pitot tube on the radome

Well, you asked about meaningfull numbers, aren’t you? There is a probability that some of the remaining 27SMs are armed with lefrover R-77s, but those aren’t gonna last forever, missiles have rather limited life when installed on pylons

unless the explosive and rocket equipment are replaced by the 77-1 one who would be still make them good to use
