I was talking with someone in WT chat and they bought up that the Su-57 has a bad side-on RCS, and that the AL-51 was causing issues with flying. Does anyone have sources to back up or disprove this?
Looks to me as if he is the one that needs to bring proofs.

Does the Su-57 have full spherical RWR and MAW? Like the Raf.
Maws yes, rwr who knows

spherical MAWS and LWR coverage, MAWS is dual band in UV and NIR, the sensors are not single pixel sensors and are fully capable of image generation, full RWR coverage too
the LDIRCM turrets also have an IR sensor making them triple purpose LDIRCM, MAWS and IRST, when a threat is detected, they stop spinning and jam the threat

the rear facing radar dosent give you the ability to track targets
see how you have the yellow zone for the side facing radars and the blue zone for the main one
but there is nothing to the rear

The zones here are rather incorrect, the side facing ones should be able to look more to the back and the rear facing one is, iirc, capable of guiding
