SU-33 Can't select R-27T (Question, not a bug or problem)

[Boomer_Reflexes]

Hi all,

This is my first post on the forum so pardon me if this question was asked before as i didn't find it and didn't know where else to ask.

 

I tried 2 or 3 times to perform a sneaky flanking maneuver in my SU-33 with the Radar off and only EO on and i succeeded to do so and had a lock on target caught unaware (within "LA" range too, BVR mode) but as i cycle through my A2A weapons, the plane won't show me the R-27T missiles which i have armed. I would be able to select any SARH but not the sneaky Infrared T!

Am I supposed to (de)/activate something?

I tried to turn the Radar on and off and the EO on and off but it still didn't allow me.

In other situations, I was able to select and fire a T missile but i couldn't figure out what i did differenlty to able to do so.

 

Many thanks for the help in advance

That is really odd. Just checked and was able to select the R-27T. Perhaps it was a fluke? Given the situation you described, there should have been no problem selecting it.
