It’s SARH seeker.

Then it should be I band. USSR Airforce stopped using J-band radars for their aircraft with MiG-29 and Su-27 introduction.

The 9b-1101k is the seeker for the r27r

As i said, then it can’t operate on J band, because radars of MiG-29 and Su-27 operate on I band.

its still not the 27(E)P seeker

It does, the Proximity fuze on the r27 is located on the warhead module, you can see the rectangular radomes panels before the control fins

Hey, I along with some other people noticed that R-27ER now can miss the simplest shots (target going HOT, not maneuvering, high closure rate). If any of you spot a similar problem, take a look at this bug report

I’ve had this same issue with r-27er on 27sm. Misses easy shots for some reason, maybe proxy doesn’t work or something

Had fuse fail on a breadth of missiles. Would not be surprised if something broke.

@Smin1080p_WT sorry for the mention but can some of the mods take a look at this bug report? Lots of people who play TSS noticed that something is off with R-27R(ER) and that is important with Challenger League Qualifier approaching fast

try pinging someone else Smin is away on holiday for a few days

Any suggestions with who of the mods might actually reply today?

maybe try Piciu713 hes usually does smins tasks here when hes away

@Piciu713 hey, sorry for the mention, dont know who can be available today and etc.

Is it possible to ask someone from the mods to take a look at this bug report. Really important with the upcoming Challenger League Qualifier

Can confirm… here’s a few clips of r-27er missing for literally 0 reason



I think proxy fuse is broken
had to stop carrying r-27ers, and only carry r77s

Does this only happen on the SM/SM2?

also happened to me on 27sm
havent tested other aircraft yet though, just 3 so far (27sm, 30sm/sm2)
might happen on other 27er carriers like mig-29 but i didn’t unlock the k variant yet (grinding without premium is torture)

I’m yet to see that on my end, but on the sm2 I just use r-77-1
