Why does the Su-30SM get R-77-1 while the F/A-18C is stuck with AIM-120B?

They have the same seeker files as the AIM-120A, they all do except the MICA

Yes, but in such a situation the K-77 would have hit the target.

It would not

I`m dont know. How do you knov it?

Its in the datamined files

lol I was responding to someone talking about the IRL missiles.

I don’t know, reading the bit below does heavily imply player issue:

Well could get PL15 then. I would really like to have some sort of clarification from Gaijin so that everyone understands that point.

You are switching things up.
Su-35 gets the Al-41,the Irbis-E and access to the r-37m, while being lighter than the su30

Yeah… Nope.

It doesn’t, the Su-35 gets the AL-31FM and N011, with its missiles suite only extending to the R-27EA and R-77.
It’s the same weight as the Su-30, albeit about ~300kg lighter with and a slightly lower empty weight.

you are wrong on the engine and the radar, the irbis was developed for the SU-35, if they didnt use it in the su35 where else?

The Irbis was developed for the Su-35BM. Either you’re blind or illiterate, either one is absolutely hilarious.

It was flat-out never used in the Su-35. The first ever use of the N011 was on the Su-35 and Su-37, with the N011M coming in on the 2nd generation Su-30

You need to put literally 2 seconds of research into what you say, because it’s staggeringly clear you have no clue what the Su-35 nor Su-37 are.

Gotta love mass reports, yknow?

the su35bm being the first version of it, also known as su27bm

instead of calling me an idiot provide a source for what you are saying

The Su-35BM is the second iteration of Su-35.

My brother in christ…

I’m not going to hold your hand and baby-step you through basic research of one of the most famous Russian programs of the 1990s.
Either learn to read and do basic research, or don’t get involved in topics you don’t understand.

nice picture of project 711 also known as the su37
but that dosent prove anything

just say you dont have a source for the stuff you are saying

but you are right su35bm was a proposed upgrade packge i got that wrong mb

711 was… What before the Su-37? Pray tell, enlighten use. What was the Su-37 prior to 1999?

It proves the existence of the Su-35 that I’ve mentioned. From 1997-1999 it had the AL-31FMs and N011 that I’ve previously mentioned. Seeing as you want to nitpick exact airframes and their eventual uses…

Why would I? I don’t need to provide a source for blatant denialism, the Su-35 was a very distinct and entirely existent aircraft that you don’t know about. It’s entirely why you’re getting defensive and demanding proof of something entirely irrelevant to the topic.

Which, once again, is irrelevant to the topic.

nice picture of project 710 one of the prototypes/ testbeds for the Su-35 but not anything more

it is like saying we should have gotten the Eurofighter DA.7 instead of the Tranche one or two,
or for that matter the IPA.7 for germany instead of a normal tranche 2

It’s… Quite literally an Su-35. It is not one of the prototypes for the Su-35It is an Su-35.

Once again, what is better about the Su-35 than the Su-30SM?

The Eurofighter DA.7 is not an entirely different aircraft than the Tranche 1… I’m not going to entertain this childish and uneducated line of thinking.

Ok let me ask you something,
with what configuration went the Su-35 into serial production and then into service, you dont need to show me prototypes and testbeds, and even then those would be better than the Su-30 we have in game
