Seems you got cucked with “not enough data”

yeah just one secondary source. need 2 then, ill find one from a magazine or something

Ngl if implemented it will be pretty huge buff to 29SMT and 30SM (if gaijin gonna tread 77-1 same way) with their insane gimbal limits

771 already has ±180 launch limits along with mica. I’m tying to get base r77 to have that as well

Really? I guess I haven’t been in a situation when it was required. Also aren’t 77 and 77-1 use same seeker? Iirc -1 upgrades were aerodynamics, battery life and a bit more engine.

R-77-1 irl has a newer seekerhead but in game it’s identical to normal r77 and all other fox 3s other than phoenix and mica

Any publicly known figures for that seeker? Would be great to have something to base a report on for it, as I hope and expect that MICA’s won’t be the only privileged missile anymore for the foreseeable future…

I only found the names. R-77 uses 9B-1348 (RVV-AE 9B1348E), R-77-1 uses 9B-1103M.

Agat also showed in 2014 9B-1103M-200PS and 9B-1103M-200PA with additional passive and semi-active channels accordingly for Izd 170-1 and 180 missiles but it is unknown if they are used.

did some calculations with that value for the c5 and it would increase delta V by 40-70m/s given that, the nerf to the r-77-1 would be like aprox 5-15m/s

6 m/s nerf for R77 , 70 m/s buff for aim120c5. (if the weight of propellant is constant)

100s of burn time is crazy, ngl

i ran a sim on stat shark the r77 would be like 3 seconds slower time to target at 60km with corrected motor output compared to its current state
