RvEFuSiOn Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 Hi Just wondering if this flare count is going to be fixed Blackshark for the su27/33 I just tested something and saw the flanker has 16 flares, while the f15 has 30 flares. This picture surely says the flares are more than that http://www.patricksaviation.com/uploads/av_images/med/1793.jpg
Disso Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 How can you possibly infer the amount of flares the Flanker has from that picture? If you didn't notice, there are several aircraft, and they all are releasing flares in unison. SU-30MKI F/A-18F ...Beauty, grace, lethality.
Kuky Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 6 aircraft x 15 flares = 90 flares/aircraft However, I was able to count something around 110 flares from that image... point being... sure, you can't really tell how many flares there should be... BUT... you sure damn can say it's more than 15 !!! There's something to think about I guess...

Cosmonaut Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tkgYv3HuV4 4:21 into this video you can plainly see that the Su27 releases way more flares than we can in LO, while flying the Su. However I don’t know if the Russian knights Su27 was modified to carry more flares for display purposes, so I don’t really know if whats represented in LO is realistic or not. Cozmo.

Force_Feedback Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 The early versions of the Su-27 didn't have a flare launcher module on the parachute housing, but in lomac we have the later production models of the su-27, so we should have more. Creedence Clearwater Revival:worthy:
TekaTeka Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 LockOn's Su-27/33 has 96 dispensers. 64 of those are chaff and 32 are flares. Because flares are paired, you can launch those 16 times. I think they mount more flares instead of chaff in air shows. TekaTeka from Japan [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Visit my site Beyond Visual Range.
