Vympel R-27 'ALAMO' - History, Design, Performance & Discussion

From my (albeit not comprehensive) tests, every time r27r failed to hit in an obvious scenario the seeker was in IOG+DL mode when it should have switched to TRK

Nevermind, just reviewed the latest case, the missile was in TRK yet flew right past

EDIT: Nevermind x2, in that particual case the missile flew past a corpse… My bad

Although in the same match, 10 seconds after that TRK R-27ER, the next R-27 flew only in IOG+DL against non defending target going hot aspect…

Can you share the replay for that match? Want to add it to the bug report as further evidence

Hello, a recent patch that was trying to do a bug fix caused another bug instead of fixing anything :/

Hey. Somehow the thermals do not work without DAMOCLES equipped. I have passed it further. Thanks.

Because Gaijin added the option to add decals/3D decorations to the TEL trucks, but that seems to have broken the option to link skins 3D/decal-wise to each other on the entire Multivehicle SAMs

After some playtime with the R-27ER on the Mig-29M I can confirm they are not reliable anymore.Something is wrong.

All of the shoots I disconnect the lock in the middle and lock some time after seem to miss

i think this is true for multiple missiles, ive had 9ms and aim54s miss because they dont proxy

I confirmed an issue with the missiles not tracking at all on the side limits of the radar lock, take a look:

R-27R/ER not tracking from HOBS - Machinery of War Discussion / Aircraft - War Thunder — official forum

Also bug report here: R-27R/ER not tracking on off bore locks // Gaijin.net // Issues

Can you share the full page please, something tells me it mentions more about the use of dual plane bs single plane.

so with all the talks of a R-27ER rework soon possibly i have some questions about its smaller version:

How accurate is the current R-27R/T performance/characteristics in game right now, and how much would it benefit from that possible rework similar to what they did with the sparrow?

Welcome back!

I would hope a buff personally, im a bit worried about low altitude perfomance cause its already lacking in speed and range there. I do t want it to end up like the phoenix
