The R-77 'ADDER' - History, Design, Performance & Discussion

r-77 should be able to go to 0-45 degrees aoa between mach 0.6 and mach 5. and max overload is 50gs according to this patent.

looks to be fairly well configured in game as its able to go above 30 degrees aoa and hit 50 gs

Is this also su35? To be honest, I forgot the difference between the appearance of su27 and su35

yes this is su35. all images of dual r77 racks are of su35

Tail is a dead giveaway from this angle. Su-35S has remodelled rear part between engines.

Gonna post this here so I can refer to it for future use. Ramjet r-77 for carriage

r-77 should be able to fired at ±180 degrees angles (no limits)? (before launch)

wouldn’t this mean the motor is over performing? currently its 23,000N for 6 seconds and according to some math that may be wrong the max would be 22,854N for 6 seconds. and if that’s the case its thrust would need a nerf since the amraam and other missiles are under their reported thrust for warthunders sake of realism (ex c-5 is apparently 16772N for 7.75 seconds but is 15542N ingame)

definitely. but i cant report that because thats datamined values (i already know that r771 and r77 are overperforming in motor and range but i cant use footage from the ukraine russia war to show that or datamined values)

How good is the source from where you took this one? Because the missile count on platforms is all over the place (4 R-27s on MiG-29SMT, 10-14 RVV-AE on Su-33)

yeah… its a old encolypedia from the 90s? i think i have on my old pc, was just scrolling randomly and found it. it was made by vympel and other ddesigners but some of the data is prollyincorrect due to classification (on my laptop rn so cant access it ill double cheeck in a bit)

wish gaijin had transparency so we could actually resolve some issues

14 RVV-AE on Su-35 listed could be an indirect hint at double pylons between nacelles being developed at the time (this Su-35 listed is probably Su-27M if it is from the 90s as you say), but R-27 missile count numbers are all over the place to trust this one (but to be fair they slammed R-27R, T, ER and ET in a single column so only god knows what are those numbers).

2004 actually
