Freefall bombs can’t be released abobe mach 1, due to them gaining too much lift. I am not sure that this would be the same for powered version.
Bug report might be better imo
Is there a “gameplay” reason to mix TV / Laser guided stuff? Personally I prefer “firing” and gambling of TV / ASM missiles over Laser as laser kinda locks you from moving much…
Also how is it that TV KH59 requires a pod and ASM KH59 doesnt… wouldnt a TV guided missile more independant than a radar ‘guided’ one?
The Su-27SM can no longer mount a singular R-77 on the front center pylon for some reason…
Nah. The thing with TV guided is manual/course correction on terminal stage, you need something to receive the data from the missile (video stream) and then send data to it (the course correction) while radar is your typical (well, simplified) active-radar homing missile

Huh, apparently the report that Su-30SM2 should NOT have Irbis got accepted

They’re gonna fix it in december and drop the Su35 at the same time, I’m willing to bet.
Which one? I remember reading multiple.
Send the link, if possible.
Thanks Ron. ^^

I’m annoyed that they closed the comments so fast.
The guy who made the report seemed to have the Sukhoi anniversary book on a PDF or something, but the comments closed before I could ask for it, and I can’t find him on the forums to dm and ask.
pro tip:
just go to another bug report he made and ask him there

So… Su30SM2 shouldn’t have Irbis but magically there is some unknown radar that supposedly twice as good and not N011, maybe put that thing in Su35s instead? /s
(Quoting main constructor → Characteristics of radar were changed, add new modes … , increased range by factor of two and improved ESM alllowing it to target *******
First production run is indeed was using AL31 and in 2024 version with 41 was being tested and next ‘run’ was supposed to get them)
How can you increase range of radar without physical changes?
Wouldn’t that upgrade be the ‘Irbis’ since it was based on the ‘bars’?
then why say the bars will retain is array
i went through all that once already

Isn’t that an export mod?
Generally export modifications are 10-30% downgraded, so … Maybe some bars modification had more than 150 or they indeed plucked antenna from Irbis inserted it into SM2, and then just went to change radar in Su35sm
Idk, anyway that old man sure has read more sekret documents
Fun fact that export section seems to be nuked now
