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

Could you make comparison of all changed ones at longer range high alt high speed? Like, launch all at once?

No, i cant, not mine video, thats from Datamine server

so they’re buffing the 77?

Yes, along with all other missiles

This hit amraam pretty hard, but I believe it’s much more historical now. Ranges are also now accurate. It’s no longer than absolutely HOBS menace it was.

I believe this is a historical change.

The delay from ejection to guidance is just over 0.5s irl.

Source?

Tornado manual for the launch effect chain.

And you know tornado launches sparrow differently than for example F15 from rail or even clearance is different from F15C to Tornado one.
That ejection - guidance delay is literally delay between getting clearance and engine start. Aka, it starts maneuvering the moment engine is up and running.

The R-27ET doesn’t lock until below 20km and even then that’s when it can see the afterburner, I still bring them because stealth ETs are insane. Still, ERs are great, even if they go in a defensive maneuver you can just re-lock another target which I’ve done many many times. In fact, I think I changed targets like twice in the video.

No… it doesn’t start manoeuvring instantly, it waits for separation from the launch aircraft, approximately 80ft.

It’s pretty weird so far

The rudder itself adds very little drag compared to the rocket body. The rocket has 2400N, one rudder 140N

Preliminary calculation. The green one is the study of ED on R-27ER, the red one is my research on R-77. However, I made several mistakes in the calculation. So the graph may change

İs the total drag less when compared to War Thunder R-77 drag values?
