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

Yes but was it explained why? Because prior to that the impression was it shouldn’t have one

I think there was no official explanation from the devs but i guess they believe that the khibiny ecm cam theoretically do the same function as a regular rwr.

RWR is such an essential thing for modern aircraft that it’s crazy to think that the russians were able to develop and build expensive stuff like the irbis e but couldn’t build and put at least a spo15 on the su34, it would be just stupidity from their part, but this is justified if the khibiny can indeed do this function.

The problem was discussed in another topic, no one was interested in the profile…

Levcon like Su-57

Individual control of levcons can prevent lateral instability caused by uneven flow around the cockpit. This will allow for some absolutely crazy aerodynamic control at high AoA.

Maybe in the future all fighter jets will have them.

I think that will depend more so on how stealthy they can be. If the design requires a focus on raw stealth it may be omitted as they do not think maneuverability will matter. For aircraft that conduct carrier operations it may be more prevalent.

Is that permanent? Also is that a Forum only ban or does it include in-game?

If I look the Wikipedia article about the su34 it can Mount 4 missiles like normal on 1 side but only 2 on the other while the other two are under the fuselage like the 27sm Very Strange

I’m already unbanned, that was permanent forum only

Worse - Wikipedia

The R-27T/ET cannot be suspended on the 11th and 12th suspension point

No. Magazine “Poligon”

Problem with that theory is the Su-34 were getting in-game doesn’t seem to mount L-175 Khibiny:

Opting for wingtip R-73 rails instead:


Also, it was given L-150, not L-175 Khibiny, which as previously discussed, it does not seem to have the antennas for:

Its possible theres some antenna hidden somewhere i havent spotted, but between not having the Khibiny pods which are the only thing I could see be used as a valid argument for an RWR it could have, and not having any of the apparent L-150 antennas clearly seen on aircrafts that have L-150, it seems an awful lot like it was given an RWR simply because itd be worthless without one…

It probs should still get an RWR, since itd be brutal not having one at all, but I am wildly curious as to the source used for the claims of it having L-150, as ive never actually seen any evidence of it myself beyond tertiary sources (at best).

I tried searching for some info a couple days ago but couldn’t find anything relevant, maybe some of the guys here can help

Indeed

According to the bug report, RWR should be removed and Khibiny should be given to them

So, essentially, just -2 R-73. Aint much of the lose, but annoying since essentially nothing being given in return (since game doesnt have functional ECM. If it did had - then it would be fine)
