Thats not accurate is it, the Su-35 and Su-30SM is a modern counterpart to Western Generation 4 (4.5) airframes
Sukhoi Su-27/30/33/35/37 Flanker series & Su-34 Fullback - History, Design, Performance & Dissection
You must realise that the only Su-27 that’s AESA is Chinese?
These are not antennas L-150
no L-150
no MAWS
Why did engineers saved on matches?
I’ll try to do it this weekend, if it’s possible an even more accurate test is welcome so devs will be less likely to complain (in general since it’s hard to pull 5G perfectly if one can choose is better for the average pull to be more than less, since it would show that it gains speed to quickly even when pulling more than average).
The Irbis E radar while not aesa isn’t that bad (not saying it’s superior to the western ones).
Money
I refuse to believe that money stopped them from doing that considering the stuff that they developed post soviet collapse, it should be cheaper to build and put at least a spo 15 on the su34 than to develop and build the Irbis e radar for the su35, for example. It’s like being able to build multiple houses but not having money to put doors on them.
most likely - EW pods(Khibini) can into rwr and thats just cheaper in result of that
Could be the case
Kinda off topic but i think it’s interesting to share here with you guys, i didn’t know about that but someone made a suggestion for Enduring Confrontation:
I strongly recommend for all of you to go there and vote for its addition, i unironically believe that such update would be the most important ever for air battles considering the kind of stuff that we are getting now.
money money
How is it too much?
At least you have your indigenous aircraft and not having to use an “Estonian” F-16 because gaijin wrongly believe a Tranche 1 Typhoon will break the game.
Alright, thank you very much for your efforts.
Irbis-E is pretty much leading in terms of PESA radar performance. So it won’t be bad at all, and PESA radar generally has more search range than AESA of the same size (although tracking range is shorter).
Which would be fine seeing as the eurofighters still flying mechanical scan in 2024, or are we going to overlook that? Rafale came with PESA also.
The Su-57 does come equipped with AESA as well.
Or did you think all Rafale and Eurofighter would just come to the game with the AESA radars?
Good thing the Typhoons have ECRS Mk 1
They’ll come eventually. But considering the Rafale’s PESA is worse than the mech-scan of CAPTOR I think we’re in the clear.
I hope that when Gaijin tries to make FM for Su-34, they’ll realize something is seriously wrong with the current FM of the Su-27 and change it.
