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

Didn’t realized Tornado never recieved radar during its lifetime, huh.

No, later ones did obviously. Also, for realism sake Tornado radar has a 25% chance to stop working and 75% chance to not be repairable due to almost zero standardisation until late F.3 model

Ohh you were referring to early stages of Cold War.

Yeah that make sense.

But keep in mind Sukhoi loose its Rwr if its activate the radar and should get heavy fuselage damage during certain extensive maneuver like it can in this game.

In this case full realism will hurt entire gameplay and its not something we should be concerned about.

Yeah, Su-27 entered service a year prior to F.2 first deliveries, so it’s only fair for them to be at the same br for realism sake

I mean technically speaking almost all nations will suffer in certain aspects if gaijin wents with full realism.

So no need because I dont like to loose my Rwr capability when I activate my radar in my older Su-27 and MiG-29’s models.

I am in the same boat. Realism should only be applied when it’s for the benefit of a player, not as a detriment. Also thing about RWR and radar not working at the same time was due to bad calibration and maintenance, at least according to people that were close to the mechanics of those birds

r-73 and the sraam are both bugged due to some mistake on their aoa limiters, it’s not an intentional change

Thought so, it looked like a bug. But i really hoped that gaijin looking into their behavior, flatspinning R-73 at low speeds is still hilariously silly

what do you pick fidget spinner R-73 or AIM-9B maneuverability R-73?

No I am not that good in air I understand the multi path aspect but when playing in 3rd person and manuvering between missiles it gets very hard.

Man, that’s a tough choice

Honestly the AIM-9B can give surprises, the all aspect one (R-3R) can do some stuff

Be careful then, ju,ping straight into 13.3 br without prior experience will be extremely rough and most likely frustrating. You will probably be a certified canon fodder for several months until you get a hang of it

R-3R is probably my favourite low tier missile in the game

It’s hilarious how many people eat it in the face, even I took a bit to understand how to dodge it because it’s really not that easy when it’s shot at the perfect moment.
It’s not too dangerous when you expect it but sometimes I just forget xD

Yes I know that one for sure, I understand how puls doppler (TWS) works, notching but pulling everything in war thuder takes a lot. My biggest problem is manuevering in 3rd person I can do it but after about 3 to 4 times evading a missile it gets to me.

So can 31PD only track D band radar?

Isn’t that like… Just the FlaRakRad?

No, i think it’s just statcads being silly. I tested it and it locks both on ADATS and Roland in test flight. IRL it has multiband seeker
