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

or more f-16 variants
thats what we need

nope
only the laser on tgps (ingame atleast)

It doesn’t in game

Which is a problem (unrealistic advantage for IRST against modern planes)

tgp also only gives laser warning when you launch/drop something laser guided afaik
(not 100% sure tho)

They used an English “translation” of the manual, not the original manual

Aside from that, this entire argument is serving no purpose but to increase the reply count on the thread further.

It definitely is supposed to. IIRC that is the biggest reason the EF-2000 incorporated a LWS as a response to the Su-27/MiG-29 passive sensors. It’s also why they developed a passive ranging ability for their IRST.

How do you passively range? Imaging?

It does if you turn the Laser on manually.

TBF, those also have their own problem: Active RF MAW

Which K_Stepanovich said he won’t make emit anything for the sake of the gameplay, at least for now since the player can’t disable it …

Math. Lots of math.

I mean tbf there is an argument for LWS not picking up, because most modern LRF fires burst of laser instead of constant illumination like targeting lasers. But I assume most Modern LWS is sensitive enough to pick this up

Didn’t know that because I can’t see the sources of the bug report
But I know that the translation is kinda bad

Well atleast for now the LWR is just a gimmick that looks nice on paper

Or warns ppl I shoot a brimstone at

Really helpful for tanks and helis though.

All in all, given the direction they chose with F-16’s limiter (removing it “for the sake of gameplay”) I’m not too optimistic that they will bother to make these things realistic …

But not for jets with its current implementation

I think it’s the top result on Google, run through a translator.

The russian manual for the 27SK is available in Aviatonlog iirc? I have it downloaded in my pc, but it’s a picture of a typewritten book so good luck image translating that lol

Right. But any graphs in it should line up with the J-11 in-game, regardless of translation.
