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

Okay. Smin of all people gave me a response on the matter, and it seems that the way we do this is by making a report. Which I guess makes sense? But at the same time makes getting information on the situation a bit tricky.

I guess we have to go through the necessary hoops of bureaucracy to get the developers to comment on the subject.

So, I propose we make a report with the intention of “probing” an answer from the developers on the subject. It shouldn’t be treated as the final report, but one that may get the developers to comment on the subject – so that we may then, on that information, make a more informed and finalized report.

@k_stepanovich I would like to inquire- does the R-77 have the unique wave drag characteristic for grid fins modeled? If not, is it something we should report?

Or, we do that. Tbh, I was kind of wondering if you can just ping a developer in a thread to ask it, but if you can, then yeah, that works.

Making an inquiry and getting a dev answer on bug report gives death sentence to a report as technical moderators will state that the developer has already provided a response to the subject and veto subsequent reports.

Is it really that bad? I have heard of how the suggestion process is very dubious, but this much? Jeez… It’s really frustrating that the process for suggestions is so scuffed.

They need to decide if this is arcade fantasy or sim and spend a few years fixing the game instead of shoving in new content

R-77 CFD data in the works

Can someone give some more info about this ramjet R-77? Did it ever make it past mockup stage and onto an aircraft or no?

Shame, would be an interesting addition if it did.

Ground tests only

Somehow studied this photo…
Personally, it seems to me that the new rocket is closer in scheme to the famous 3M9…

Spoiler


It is just motion blur distortion

Just to ask a question for confirmation, R-77-1 uses 9B1103M seeker whilst R-77 uses 9B1348 seeker, is that correct?

That is also the one proposed for R-27EA/EM right?
and then the 350 mm version for R37.
Edit NVM not the R37. That’s for 9M38.
