All of the arrays work as MAWS, like on eurofighter.

any specifics? I havent seen anything confirming it for felon, only for su-35

also su-57 might be the only plane with 360 degree irst coverage. pretty cool

how that?

ldircm turret works as irst

me asking this exact question lol

Sadly none i could find, other than trust me bro.

nonetheless its kind of sensible to use your arrays for these function? A missile is a target only.

The 101-KS-O DIRCM turret also doubles as a IRST.

dircm spinning to scan the sky

yeah thats what i was worried of lol. although surely if su-35 irbis can function as maws then surely byelka can as well, hopefully gaijin goes with that line of thinking

That cannot be good for stealth though unless the pilot choses when to activate it?
Like the IRST on the front of the airframe

Great, looks interesting and I’ll be thinking about investing into russian air is Su-57 is all it’s made out to be with the sensor/radar suite

Su-57 also has a proper HMD, mirroring some of the stuff found on the HUD
(seems kinda similar to the EF HMD)

LPI exists. All the arrays scan the sky for targets nonetheless, so it doesnt really matter.

They are placed behind the frontal view, it wouldn’t affect frontal RCS

I guess if it is implemented in game it’s really up to gaijin.

Where are the internal fuel tanks located besides the wing?

It’s not

The argument is murky, but personally I believe LDIRCM is well capable of burning IIR seekers

Not any system currently mounted on helicopters and likely small aircraft too.

My point still stands
If LIDAR on cars on damage cameras, a 3.5kVa system can easily burn a seeker
I really don’t wanna get in this argument again, atleast for now

These are not comparable.
