Well, we’ve achieved some good things here, for example, look at how it was when it was released, I lost 300km/h in 9~11g curves where I literally forced some negative g so that the energy wouldn’t bleed completely
the plane wasnt even that heavy, about 16 minutes of fuel and 8 missiles, it was ridiculous
its azimuth coverage is plenty enough it will be able to launch r27er , notch or even partially fly cold while still maintaining a radar lock.
I believe that although the euro radar is underperforming, what most affects its overall performance is the poor coding of the radar in the game, which is full of bugs and everything else
I haven’t watched your channel at that time yet, but i usually check new videos to learn some tricks. I agree that even if it will be artificially nerfed - it will be competitive airframe at top tier even without R-37M or upgraded Fox-2s. Besides it will bring some nice QoL things like MAW or IRST that works as a targeting pod with laser designator.
yea maws will definitely help a lot against aim9m especially in sim.
also did not know they made an r-77 with folding grid fins
It seems to me a simple modification to make them lock out once the drag pushes the fins back, the main reason they might have been locked out before takeoff on external pylons is due to the fact that they are already exposed to airflow.
Thats because of necessity rather than anything elses. The ruaf has suffered pretty large losses and the amount of stron enemy air defense is a massive risk, especially now that they are up against very good awacs systems. The air war is very much a peer war.
Absolutely untrue, mechanical scan vs pesa/aesa(aesa is nerfed so it plays literally the same but thats details) is not even in the same unverse of effectivenes, it locks faster and provides mcuh better situational awareness, which is doubly important when longer range missiles gets introduce.
Su35s will be top dog when it drops(only reason it wouldnt is amraams arent fixes and china doesnt get pl12a).
I say this as a flanker lover, i dont think theres a aircraft i enjoy more than su27sm i never get bored playing it and likely will be just as happy with su35s or mig35, hell im planning to grind china just for j11a and j11b(i know j11a is a struggle bus but its still interesting to me)
even if that happens the Su-35S will still be one of the best planes simply because bvr isnt that feasible in WT and i personally dont think that that will change
It should be worse than su30 in terms of compression su-35 is heavier
Empty weight is 200 kilos more. Slightly more than a single R-77-1. Rest isn’t that different because you will still gonna take same fuel and missile payload as Su-30SM anyway. But you will get a nice thrust increase. And if gaijin also gonna give it better fuel consumption you will brobably get away with less fuel that might lead to even better TWR at the start of the combat.
thinking that wont change is dumb, if it doesnt change it wont matter what missile they add
that’s just a cgi
Yeah it is, book I took it from said jack shit about it being cgi
Do we have more information on the dual r77 rack?
sure, it uses dual aku 170 pylons for carriage of rvv-ae/rvv-sd, and maybe izd-180 as well but unsure about that last one. It is available for use on su-35/su-35s.
