My 2 cents would be just to focus on one or two targets at a time with narrow scan and be ready to go defensive quickly. I’d also highly suggest tracking people with IRST if you’re flying non-german EF until they get into a no-escaping position then change to radar and fire away. I’ve been using IRST lately and results are absolutely devastating on my enemies. They don’t even realize I’m there until it’s too late.
Anyway let’s not derail this topic any further.
N035 IRBIS, Its an Hybrid. It has a lot of benefice from AESA radar. It even have 1779 TM. Thus it scan speed should be on part with AESA radars. Its have an stupid azimuth 240º, with that you can notch while keep track of the enemy plane… A lot of AESA can’t do that and only Captor-E in the future could have something similar.
From the first comment on this vid Irbis-E screen - flight tests against multiple targets.. i discover that the Serbian Wiki has a lot of info about IRBIS.
If I’m not mistaken 30SM comes with BARS (idk if IRBIS equipped ones have the same designation) which is a PESA radar and we don’t know what it is coming in the upcoming patches at the moment. Regardless, as I said earlier it’s going to be a definitive upgrade over current top tier Sukhois.
Yea 30sm has BARS. My problems with Su-30SM its the engine. I don’t think this plane is 14.0 material. But look like gaijin will give us another mediocre for it tier Su-27*.
They could maybe introduce improved R-77s on it since it won’t be winning any BFM unless it catches the enemy fast and rails them with R-73s. That would make it a more BVR focused aircraft compared to 27SM we currently have. Better radar, slightly longer range R-77s and better multirole capability at the cost of slightly worse flight model sounds alright to me.
Sometimes R-27ET works and you get cool games like this:
Which means absolutely nothing? The entire point of their avionics changes is for domestication, not improvements to the aircraft.
The best quality might be the AESA, which is barely documented and hard to substantiate in comparison to the N035.
Sure bud in no way are European/Israeli avionics and upgrade over Russian ones
In what way would they be?
yup, it’s worth to sacrifice some ERs to use them
If they introduce R-77-1. Maybe the plane would have a chance of doing BVR. Right now the Su-27sm its useless at that. But that opens two path. first one is gaijin screw thing like they always do. And the missile is meh. And the second its that its actually good. But everyone start crying Russian bias. Muh AIM120c-5, muh Meteor and s***T. And we end in the same position.
I hoping that I’m wrong an the plane is good. But i have low expectative and 0 hype. Even when i has always wanted a Canard+TVC flankers in game.
Same here. Never believing in gj
R77-1 won’t help, I think R27EA and R77M should be added same time as AMRAAM C-5, or simply remove some limitations on existing ARHs.
R-27EA doesn’t exist and K-77M is still only prototype and only for Su-57
R27EA was tested, never actually enlisted, also it does have same seeker as R77 so quite easy. R77M is not in to service, but doesn’t stop gaijing from adding it, just R77 with normal fins.
K-27A was tested, not K-27EA. (K-27A was canceled in 89, before ER was even produced 91)
The ER was released back in 1985
He’s thinking probably R27M, cause EA is definitely tested.
