All this MiG talk gets me hot! Personally, I'd either be interested in the 21F/PF/PFL or waaaaay on the other side a LancerR or UPG.

Do correct me if I'm wrong but all the public info I could find gives the 77 an RMAX of 80km but in DCS it struggles greatly and is seen as a miracle if it reaches 40km and often just flips out of control and drops like a rock losing hundreds of knots in 1.5 seconds, when I tested it at 12,500m at Mach 2.2 I reached only 77km max. Are advertised performance figures reached in this way in real life meaning the RMAX means at high alt and launch speed? if you have any information, please share it as I'd like to learn. Again, I am aware this was the worst ever 77 variant.

Sadly, I'm pretty sure this will be ignored...again.

Are there any plan outlines, it's insane the only redfor FOX-3 is as useful as a 9B and what about the promised R-73 upgrade? 120 has been updated multiple times but 77 nothing rofl

So, I've been using the 77 for some time now and the longer I use it the more I'm confused and annoyed by it. All information I can find on it *yes, the initial variant we have in game* point to it being on par with the 120B in every metric but slightly less range while being superior in maneuvering but in all the tests I've done and all the shots I've taken hits or otherwise show large contradictions with what information I've been able to find. The missile will regularly struggle to reach reacting targets at all altitudes, often not even reaching the target inside NEZ conditions as well as hemorrhaging between 300-500kts regularly in wild unneeded turns on lightly reacting targets before returning to its original course at speeds too slow to hit a stalling biplane, many times it barely reaches until I'm nearly in range for an R-73 shot at which point I typically choose the R-73 because at least it won't get notched while the 77 is notched or decoyed almost easily as what seems like a sparrow. What's worse is I hear this sentiment echoed by others using this missile and something about and "old missile flight model" yet to be updated? If anyone has the charts and stats ED uses for the R-77 I'd love to get my hands on them because right now this thing is nowhere near even a 120B and barely up to a S530D, it'd put it somewhere between a 27R and S530D with its only positive attribute being its incredible maneuvering, its commonly being called as "A radar guided R-73." I'd also like to add I'm aware this variant of the 77 the first and worst variant and that Russia was highly unhappy with it and barely used it before exporting it until the 77-1 arrived sometime later so I'm aware this isn't supposed to be some godly no-energy-losing-unnotchable-360-noscope machine, that said the performance still feels very off and it seems unlikely any exported order would have gone through had it been this poor. Also, I have no recorded footage as I'm horrible at computers and the replay system messes up what happened by crashing me into hills where I didn't for some reason. Hope this gets fixed!

This helped thx

Mine is 1.8, is this low?

I will check

Hello, been trying to fly the 15C recently and I'm finding the HUD almost impossible to read even with brightness up, is this normal or can it be fixed?

As these new J-10D/11D variants come out it gives me hope we might get a FF or FC3 11A/10A.

Are there any plans for the S variant or is it a possibility?

I think perhaps I'm doing something wrong, only getting PL-8B/12 as my A2A options.

DOPE

Hello again I'm wondering if you have any plans to add updated HQ-7B and other homegrown more capable Chinese Anti Air vehicles such as the ones in the video I will link. Thanks. HQ-12 - Wikipedia HQ-9 - Wikipedia (HQ-9) HQ-22 - Wikipedia HQ-17 - Wikipedia Rough info.

This may have been addressed but haven't seen it so here I am. Would be great to see the EQ with its unique bits. Would also be awesome to see the S530F as it gives the aircraft the tools to fight Sparrow equipped adversaries and was uniquely used on the F1 if memory serves me. Thx.

In the title, would be very nice to have thanks.

Pretty much, would be slightly less capable without lofting FOX-3s but would go well beside an SM.

Hello, can't seem to get the Su-27 livery to take me to a link, also wondering if you could perhaps port it to the J-11A as well and if you take requests? Thanks.

Yes, our 11A should have the N001VE as all delivered 11 standards got upgraded to 11A and were given this radar type to match the newly arriving Su-30MKKs which were entering service in 2000 adding ability to fire on 2 targets at a time with R-27/77 (up from 1) like the MKK along with greater range, better ability to track low and slow targets, improved A2G usage as the Su-30MKK has. As for the PL-12, the 11A entered service around 1999-2000 and the 12 entered service in 2005 at which point the 11As still flying were updated to use it. So at the least EVEN if we don't get the PL-12 we should have the PL-8B and 001VE (idk if we have this rn can't find radar type for the DCS version but PL-8s are in game files.) which adds 5km (up to 70km from 65km) to track range, ability to track 10 and fire on 2 targets at once (R-77/27ER/ET/PL-12) and better look down performance.
