the thrust part i get considering gaijin has the booster and sustainer firing at the same time in 27E variants, as for illumination part it’s a tossup as it was one of the worst preforming missiles irl during its usages (when the aim120 was a thing, the 27ER got like 1 or 2 confirmed hits but i dont remember off the top of my head) but all SARH missiles where hot garbage compared to newer ARH missiles so it would not effect in game statistics
still the r27er overperforms to the point not only it’s a sea level hypersonic missile, it’s also too good considering how “bad” soviet radars are. For the record, notching doesn’t always work against soviet radars because of missile datalink and innertial guidance; still non soviet radars aren’t much better and have much more limited searching aspects.
Again I must ask, what proof is there?
a year after and russian mains still need proof? edit: you don’t even fly russia which is even funnier. Apologist.
again, even if these missiles would be made to absolute realism, due to how small war thunder maps are and how people play all SARH missiles without an inverse monopulse seekers would be useless below some 300m alt when looking down, the missile overperforms yes, but all SARH missiles in the game do at the moment
