Judging the information and images seems it can utilize R77’s.

Always could. Su-27M was designed with new A2G and A2A weapons in mind.

One more canard addition for my collection, yummy.

Now we need Su-37.

It’s just Su-27M with TVC and different cockpit
At least by War Thunder standards

I know but still.

It holds special place in my heart.

Doesn’t it have the N011M instead?

N011M was installed on several Su-27M airframes, Su-37 is not unique in this case

How will mech N011 perform compared to mech zhuk radars

Flanker wise for me it will be Su-27M. Because, unlike ovehyped “look, i have TVC and a side stick” Su-37 tech demo, Su-7M is what next generation Soviet heavy fighter actually would look like. It is a testament of USSR engineering (alongside MiG-29M, Su-25TM and MiG-31M) and something that took Russia years to get back to and eventually overtake.

Was this after they were cancelled?

Ah thought the Su-37 airframe was the only one that had the N011M

Unknown. T-10M program switched to PESA version of bars relatively quickly, ther is no actual data on N011 performance available, outside of western “educated guesses”.

Flanker wise current SM2 is my favorite while 37 takes second place.

As for MIG section new addition of 9.41KR became my favorite, sorry 9.15M I don’t wanna play with you anymore.

I looked at BARS-29 after you mentioned, man wish Russia had budget to put that radar to their MIG’s.

Imagine deploying our 9.41 with that radar plus R-77-1, would’ve been amazing.

All mogged by the MiG-31 but gaijin is not ready for that one

31 is the father of all Flankers and MIGS, dont think he mogs his children.

i don’t think so, i need to check exact years to be sure, but iirc N011M was proposed and tested while T-10M program was still in development

T-10M-12 was the airfame used for N011M testing, N011M was installed in 1996. T-10M-8 also was designated for such tests but most of the work was on T-10M-12
When it comes to T-10M-11, actually there is no hard evidence of N011M installed on it
image
there is a photo of T-10M-11 N-011M installed, so it also had it
