I believe it's quite possible and perhaps even doable. The 10A is obsolete in terms of China today with its KLJ-3 radar being on par or likely worse than current KJL-7 we have on the JF-17, its engine is a known Russian variant, its cockpit is not far off from the JF-17, I'm excited.

Can you give us any time frame as to when 27ER/77 will be on new API and what level of priority this is?

Cool thx

is it in game or do u have to paint them

Wondered about that actually, if true i shall remove.

You said, "I know that RMD2 has and bigger energy block for extended time and wider gimbal limits." This matches parts of my information, I wasn't saying all my information.

That part matches the information I have, however alongside this my information also denotes better IRCCM which would make sense for an upgraded missile with a new seeker and features which the RMD-2 is rather like 9L to 9M which I said before. Here my information matches your information and more. Here this matches what you said with the addition of other information under "RMD-2 / R-73M / RVV-MD" including "sensitivity increased by 2 times" and "dual band cooled photodetector". Where this source seems to be incorrect is the GOS MK-80 presumption, it is likely the MK-2200 similar to MK-80 (new) which as you will see (below) is advertised as a "dual band" seeker with the other values under the MK-2200 section closely describing not only what you yourself have said about the RMD-2 but what I myself and others have been able to find on the RMD-2 and its performance which is that the R-73 RMD-2 is basically just a slightly heavier RMD-1 with a better seeker and increased life due to launch permission range increase. You can see above the specifications under "MK-2200" section are quite similar to what you and articles I have read said to describe the RMD-2 seeker performance. I'd also like to note that this image is from the same company Arsenal that developed the MK-80 originally and was a large producer of optical component development so it is not some random guesswork or an opinion piece. I understand this is more modern as well but it's also similar to modernized MK-80.

And how do you know this is fiction, multiple sources state this. The RMD-2 is an upgraded RMD-1, the body is the same, the engine is the same, the only difference is in fact the dual band seeker which adds the 5kg extra weight, has better IRCCM and is more sensitive as well as a function to allow launch at greater ranges. If this is not the truth what is the difference between RMD-1/2, please explain in detail since you say you cannot share your source.

Hello, I quite like the way the blue SD-10/PL-5s look and was wondering if this could be added is possible to paint?

This would surely help yes with accurately performing weapons, but no API will help literal first generation 27s/29s especially with R-27ER/73-RMD-1 useable against modern gen 4, 4.5 aircraft and weapons like METEOR, even the ETs advantages it provides now are useless against aircraft with MAWS. I'd also like to say the RMD-2 is not actually niche, it's an upgrade like AIM-9L to 9M. As well we have been pushing for especially the R-77 to be updated with new API regularly, but we have not received very much information on when this will be finished or it's priority or where it is in the process from developers.

Can you share from where you have this information? all the information I have found says otherwise. "The homing head of the RMD-2 missile variant has increased noise immunity against IR counteraction and is built on a digital element base, which makes it easy to reprogram tracking and interception algorithms. Improved attack capabilities for low-flying targets." This would also match the information shared by other user with this image

That data I found suggests the RMD-2 has increased immunity to IR countermeasures and a more sensitive seeker as well as ability to hit targets 15m lower than RMD-1. It's less about balance as realism the way I see it as the METEOR entered service in 2016 and the 77-1 in 2015 iirc meaning METEOR equipped Typhoons would be facing Flankers carrying 77-1s. I enjoy 1980 and 1990s scenario and in the 1980 area its getting quite nice with many new modules and yes even the R-77-1 is inferior to 120C-7/D used currently however it is MUCH more useful than any R-27ER/ET and I still would like to be able play 1990-2000s era 27/29 but this will be impossible against a 2016 weapon like the METEOR. I can fight current 120C-5 with 27ER but the 77-1 is to the METEOR what the ER is to the 120C-5. RMD-2 is also more useful against 9X, IRIS-T. I see, politics getting in the way is unfortunate even FC3 style too sensitive with export Su-30 variants for example like MKA/M/K?

1. More capable weaponry for 27/29 2. Current 73 is 19 years older than 9X, RMD-2 adds greater cm resistance giving new life to Flanker/29 as we can't receive newer 27/29 variants. Obviously, this is not your fault. 3. With modules like the F-15E/Eurofighter (w meteor) on the horizon the current models of 27S/29S will be decimated in about every way which is accurate, however since in a real life scenario they would be fighting Flankers with R-77-1/PL-12 (J-11) and you guys can't do a 27SM, 30SM, MiG-29M/K/35 yet the least I think can be done is for the 27S/29S (incl Su-33) to get the best of what their generation carried in real life e.g., 73 RMD-2 so at least they remain somewhat playable, otherwise there is only JF-17 as capable gen 4 red. Some features are already present such as R-300E motor on 27ER as you said. 4. Choice is cool and as rudimentary as FC3 is, the 27/29 are iconic aircraft and should not be left out to dry. Obviously, a full 27/29S would be 1000% better but I think we can work with what we have with smaller additions like RMD-2 etc until complex modules can be made or something wild and crazy like FC3 type 27SM/30SM/J-11B happens. I want that as little as you do to be honest but I'd rather that than nothing long term. There are mods of course but these are inaccurate and being primarily a multiplayer server guy, I'm interested in stuff that can be used in this capacity.

I don't just curious why DCS can't implement it, maybe in vulcan?, more interested in seeing RMD-2

Thanks for info, Does this mean R-73 (RMD-2) is in works and will be added in near future? and just asking is laser fuse something you are looking to add in coming years?

I was thinking of one of the newer R-73 variants some are R-73L/EL, R-73 (RMD-2), RVV-MD (R-74/73M??? I'm unsure of this designation). R-73L/EL: Laser proximity fuse. Same Performance with new fuse. R-73 (RMD-2), RVV-MD (Upgraded RMD-2): Launch range increased to 40km while still using same motor (some sources say) to save pilots time of switching from medium to short range weapons. The development of the GOS was carried out by the Kiev PA "Arsenal" (chief designer - A.V. Molody) on a competitive basis with the NPO "Geophysics" (Moscow). PA "Arsenal" was developed a compact and all-angle seeker "Mayak" / OGS MK-80 (RMD-2). The Mayak GOS also implements new effective measures to combat natural and artificial interference. Along with the appropriate choice of the sensitivity range of the photodetector, pulse-time signal modulation was used in the GOS equipment, a digital signal processing unit with several independent channels was introduced. To increase efficiency by hitting more vulnerable and important elements of the target, guidance was applied to a point shifted forward in relation to the nozzle of the engine of the target aircraft. Under this seeker, the original version of the K-73 missile was redesigned. The homing head of the RMD-2 missile variant has increased noise immunity against IR counteraction and is built on a digital element base, which makes it easy to reprogram tracking and interception algorithms. Improved attack capabilities for low-flying targets. It is with the R-73 RMD-2 missile that a maneuver is possible with the launch of the missile into the rear hemisphere of the carrier, and it is possible to attack the enemy's air-to-air missiles (ignore rear launch bits, just wanted to post full thing) The RVV-MD short-range air-to-air guided missile | Rosoboronexport Catalogue (roe.ru) Р-73 / РВВ-МД - АA-11 ARCHER | MilitaryRussia.Ru — отечественная военная техника (после 1945г.) Please correct me with articles and sources of your own if you find any wrong information guys.

Hello, is there a way to look at missile seekers and types on what we have in DCS? Next, does our R-27ER have the R-300 or R-300E motor. Is there a clear plan as to when the R-77 will come to new API and when R-73L (RMD-2) that was said it would be added some time ago be added? Last would 73M be possible in near future?

Hello is HOTAS and AI not firing radar guided weapons fixed at this time?

Cool thanks!

Would be cool to see this info if you have it but I read also at low/medium altitude the weapon should still be able to travel 25-45km and it's not able to do this and what about the random loss of track and sudden loss of 500kts of speed and spinning?

Totally agree, I've always loved the 19S and it's had a rather interesting history but flies under the radar!

Cool thanks. Is our ER modeled to this?

That would definitely make more sense, chances of firing at mach 2.2 at 13000m in combat not the most likely, lower and slower would simulate combat conditions better. Do you have any article etc on this?

I guess it's their choice but haven't all the other major A2A weapons been updated? (120C, 27ER/ET) especially with it being the ONLY red FOX-3 Also, can you link thread where they gave you the answer.

Ok interesting, is there any info on when 77 CFD update is coming?
