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

The issue is they want all of these things…
Im still trying to find the Wikipedia source that he said but oh well…some of the pictures were related to the PDFs which i doubt they even opened…not mention they prob only answered that because you fowarded that…so much time passed i dont even have the sources no more (T＿T)
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?
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…
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.
That page said so. Note that 9b-1103M its old. and 9b-1103m-200pa its more modern.
R-27EA - with multifunctional monopulse Doppler active radar SNS 9B-1103M (see description). Range of fire at ZPS is 130km, at PPS - 60km.
edit; yea page said 9B-1103M-350 homing head | Rocketry its for 350mm
thread necroing!
Aight, so… i need help, does anyone know how to do some proper CFD analysis and/or have access to a proper CFD software? i’m making an R-77 CAD model for the purposes os finding out just how draggy or not draggy it is.
DISCLAIMERS:
i am NOT a CAD designer by trade nor an engineer, therefore the model is not gonna be a perfect 1:1 of the R-77, the main areas that are wrong and may or may be wrong are:
The nose cone geometry
The wings size, shape and placement
The grid fin mountings are entirely different as i do not have the skills to recreate the ones on the real missile. They may also difer in placement
The rear body of the missile.
with this out of the way, here are some screenshots of the model
if anyone can help i’d appreciate it a lot, thx

Base R-77 Have these “protrusions” at the base of the fins
R-77-1 Have less of these protrusions
Problem with finding out the drag is that you would have to find the width of the grid fins each lattice. They form wedge with small angles, that would have to be modelled too, which is pretty hard to do from just images, but they indeed taper, which you mislooked, it may effect the simulation significantly
Other than this, it would be better to have it as comparision to aim120a/b and c5.
Also, the missile rail is not modelled
