F-2

If you want a Su-27sm I would consider holding out. I see people getting Su-30mk stuff in their respective countries all the time. I don’t think it’s particularly secret and it has nearly the same avionics as the SM. I think it’s just a matter of time.

IEEE paper on the apg-77 which is as similar as it gets. LPI is just an inherent characteristic of the system. 154453_575645487_IEEE MALAS F-22 RADAR DEVELOPMENT.pdf

There is a publicly available SMT radar export manual. Not restricted. ED has a copy.

I’ll look to find more of these displays to see if any of them show that

I suspect this is the sorta think they are referring to in the FAQ

I was gunna ask this. Technically I think it can carry the C5 but I think newer missiles would be more appropriate.

I can’t speak for the helmet or Datalink but I don’t think apg-63(v)1 should be noticeable different to the pilot.

Japan who ironically wanted to remove the capability does use it

I have run into three people who managed to legally obtain Su-30mk documentation in their respective countries. If I could suggest a target for your research team it would be that.

I feel the wording in the FAQ as well as a general lack of knowledge about what sort of documentation is used to make a DCS module is the cause of this.

Oh yea you’re screwed lol. This is what you do in your least screwed senario.

No you can’t, but if your in a close in situation it’s your best bet because radar will be unreliable

From what I understand at least with the Raptor mechanical scan radars struggled even in BFM ranges. Not so sure about the F-35 but I would expect it to be different. one thing though supposedly the afterburner is an IR Chrismas tree. Newer pilots will make that mistake.

After all this the R-27ET becomes the MVP.

That is actually surprisingly not true. The 33rd had 52 AIm-120A for scud hunting https://books.google.com/books?id=cNTioltU3N4C&pg=PA430&dq=amraam+carry+gulf+war&hl=en&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&source=gb_mobile_search&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiaxZrIgdGDAxU5GTQIHedZADQQ6AF6BAgGEAM#v=onepage&q=amraam carry gulf war&f=false https://www.defensemedianetwork.com/stories/f-15-eagles-were-the-deadliest-birds-of-desert-storm/

Su-27S? Are you guys looking to add an AESA super hornet? If you even have an idea

They apparently are all wired to do it. JASDF tried to have the capability removed but it would have cost too much to eliminate.

Thank you! Future lineup is looking nice

The good thing though is for DCS purposes AIM-120A and B are indistinguishable. AIM-7P was never used operationally on the F-15C but it was cleared to carry it. I wonder if the manual ED is using reflects that?

Do you have this? I’m trying to figure out what’s the future of DCS right now.
