Use the ER? AI loves to fly into the first missile most cases

I have been having these same issues as well how long until ED gets the CFD for the R-27 family?

I get that Schmidt it's a bit like the Israeli Derby line but the guidance sounds like it's a hail Mary every time you pull the trigger so why bother?

But that's great vs noise jammers what about DRFM jammers how do you HOJ onto that? In an RF denied environment I don't see what this adds over the more orthodox approach taken everywhere else with longer range FPA IR missiles

Not anymore the R-77-1 has a much better motor and is probably dual pulse motor and the R-77PD is said to have a Ramjet the Alamos hayday is very much over and it's no longer top of the heap for warpact BVRAAMS the R-77 has grown much since the RVV AE

Im no expert but the EP in Syria makes me think it might be a small testing batch to see how well it works against probably more reasonable targets like legacy SAMs and the like I don't think it would work too well vs fighters especially LPI+MAWS equipped birds my reasoning is if it doesn't have any reasonable chance of hitting the missile is a non factor and it won't turn around or kill a bandit so why waste money on it?

Thank you all for the replies I think I got the answer to my questions and learned a bit from the other thread as for the R-27EA I've looked around a lot but it seems very much like a dead end project that didn't go anywhere like rewards facing radars on Sukhois For a new Missile I would love to see an RMD-2 Archer or R-73M if possible not sure if the current Redfor roster can use them though

I'm curious if other nations who operate the type will also be getting skins in game like for example Norway or Taiwan or will it be strictly USAF only skins?

I've heard of R-27Rs and R-27R1s The one denotes some kind of seeker upgrade does anyone know more about what was upgraded over the base model some dates of when they were introduced and the bigger question Is the in-game R-27R/ER a dash one upgrade or does it have the basic seeker

Then I must be mistaken, is the MFI-55 not something more representative of a more modern J-11 meaning it's possible to have a more modern Flanker at some point too?

Oh sweet thanks for the heads up that sounds groovey

Hello I was curious about what other Chinese Flankers would be within the realm of possibility? Or are both planes in question too modern?

I have also been having this issue.

I understand a company needs to make a profit but I'd like to know if in the future it will be sold as a stand alone module or will the only way of getting it be through MAC?

FTFY

What about it exactly has you so stumped

What more data? How it works or how to code it?

Acknowledging the SPO-10 bug would be a start

+1 for fixing the F-5E FM The data is available why break it ED?

I whole heartedly agree, this is something that had to be said What I also don't understand is why this dev must be so stubborn about aspects of the plane that are clearly wrong. Is this the brand name and image M3 is looking for? If so it speaks volumes about them.

Is it within the realm of possibility to at some point see a high fidelity version or maybe more modern Fulcrum in DCS Possibly an FC3 tier M or high fidelity MiG-29SE/SM?

So it will have a MAWS but no DIRCM? Also curious if maybe the Block 3 gets a DIRCM

That is true as well

It would seem the burden of research was on you the consumer they did their job telling you what plane and variant you were getting and it's your fault for not doing your due diligence on the topic. Lack of information on the plane in the west? I doubt it highly the Russians are very proud of the plane rightly so as it was a watershed moment in aviation history and it had quite an impressive service life. And many books have also been published in English as well like those by Mikhail Maslov. His books might be a good place to start to spare you any further embarrassment though you might be used to it.

I'm probably not skilled enough but this seems like it could turn out to be very very interesting though Su-27s with 2 ERs and 4 R-27Rs might be the hardest opponents
