Pretty good proof here (look at the hardpoint amount)
There is double hardpoints on the wings but for AAMs those are single, but between the engine intakes it can take 2 double AAM hard points, so 6 R-77s on wings, 2 R-77s under intakes, and 4 R-77 between intake. (Note these missiles shown in image are R-27, which is much larger than R-77, so R-27 cannot use double hardpoint.
Ain’t those double racks for bombs? It’s already in game
Su-35
Su-30 CANNOT fire the double R-77 racks without damaging the plane, it has never used them IRL for this reason
Su-35 is actually physically larger than earlier flankers
Who snitching
Situationally, yes.
It has more drag due to technically having more energy, the 77-1 should have less overall drag compared to the base one at the same speeds due to the streamlined nose and improved fins. now unless they model the variable drag properly I do agree the 77-1 will not beat a 120 against a maneuvering target at long range, and even with the proper variable drag modeled it will still fall slightly short to it as at those ranges the sustainer won’t be burning and it will eventually drop below Mach and the drag will increase substantially
It has no sustainer, just bigger and 1s longer booster
the r77-1 is not better than the aim120a/b in a real match, the reason the su30sm gets 12 r77-1s is to counteract that the r77-1 is a bit less dogshit than the r77
that will not be true in real match where the target is maneuvering, dont take everything on paper to be true
Its be.
I killing target from 25KM and he start dodge and try fly away from rocket.
The first and the last hardpoints are r73 only.12 hardpoints in total
Look at the drag and speed, after 40km aim120 is faster than r-77-1
On 40KM u can kill only AFK players or bot.
All rockets need testing only on 20KM and lesser. Its real fight distance.
So it isn’t best missle
Oh u troll. Git gud.
You cant check on this site how missle would react when target is flying side to you
