It is nice to fire them on a clear day at planes that don’t have MAWS or have it turned off, but the amount of clouds… I hate the weather.
Sukhoi Su-27/30/33/35/37 Flanker series & Su-34 Fullback - History, Design, Performance & Dissection
Yep, I usually keep them for high alt F-15’s, they are generally so boiling hot that the tracking is pretty nice.
Even better if they are notching. Huge IR target.

Then pls tell me what version of the Su27sm is in the game currently bc AFAIK it isn’t a sm1, sm2 or sm3.
It has the upgraded engines and double pylons from the sm3 and the radar from the sm1
Fictional
SM3 doesnt have double pylon. It have additional pylon under wing, like Su-33.
SM and SM(3) have same radar.

SM2 and SM3 received the IRBIS-E Radar.
sm3 definitely didn’t, while sm2 is not a production variant
No. Irbis was on Su-27SM2 but with reduced power. But not SM(3).
Putting Irbis on planes that are at least 15 years old is not very sensible.
Yeah right. Was a translation error on my side. SM2 got the IRBIS-E and the Su-27SM3 retains the original N-001V radar.
If su27sm2 use IRBIS-E so which version of su27 use N001VEP-PERO?
If su27sm3 dont have 12 pylons I love to see its will be add like an upgrade pack for su27sm become su27sm3
From my understanding the su-27sm3 is basically a su-35 with worse avionics.
So I don’t think that’s going to happen.
I don’t think so. The Su-27SM3 still uses the airframe of the Su-27, and if it uses the N001VEP-PERO radar, it still cannot compare to the Su-35 and cannot carry long-range missiles like the R-37M as the Su-35 can.
Pero it is array for MK3 (China), but this was not implemented
I found an old Vietnamese article mentioning that the Su-27SM3 is equipped with the N001VE-PERO radar. Another article, also from a Vietnamese source, stated that the Su-30M2 uses the N001VE-PERO radar and AL-31FM1 engines. It also mentioned that Russia conducted experimental upgrades on the Su-30M2 by equipping it with the IRBIS-E radar and AL-41S engines.
Nga quá xem nhẹ Thổ Nhĩ Kỳ khi chỉ tăng cường Su-27SM tới Syria?

why you wouldnt try to search in russian? it would be more accurate
Im Vietnamese and dont know how to find Russian source
:l
The information I have on the Su-27SM, which is commonly available in publication says that the second batch of Su-27SM’s received the AL-31F1’s, so I’m not sure if that makes it an SM2 or not. I think it’s still an SM.
Issue is it never got the double rack, but I guess it is Gaijin ‘balance’ for having bad missiles and radar.
