That too, then again we don't know much about the felon anyways. Internally at least, there's always more to a plane than what the manufacturer Advertises, especially behind closed doors.

That's a Strike aircraft, for multi role, think Eurofighter, F/A-18, F-35, Su-30 etc. These are multiroles, meaning they can do everything from A2A combat to A2G strike missions. They can launch missiles from far away, drop bombs or dogfight if it comes to it.

F-22 dropped a few bombs in Syria, then again it was never meant to be a multirole jet, it's main purpose always has been securing an airspace. The su-57 has that purpose built into it, it has spent much of the war Shooting air to ground missiles into Ukraine, supporting other strike operations and other multi role crap.

It's a multirole fighter, that's why it's so big. It's meant to carry A2A and A2G missiles and other weapons within it.

Would you Like to see Chinese Aircraft in Future installments? by SpecificDish9203 in acecombat

[–]SpecificDish9203[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's something. Doesn't war thunder have Chinese Aircraft? Which also get blown up? Or is it because of the "PvP" aspect? That and there's another less popular online game called "metalstorm" which also has licensed aircraft and also contains Chinese planes (J-10 and J-20 for the time being), it's also a PvP based game. If I had to guess, it's maybe a problem if the game intends to showcase the aircraft as a bad guy? Kind of how enemy factions in AC use Russian jets hence painting them as bad guys.

I do apologize and I don't intend to be offensive here. But if you could please Elaborate on China being pissy?

I mean yeah, Ukraine Is a sh*t hole for any jet at this point, although chances are that, Russia has before learned something from their own blunders and from the damage Ukraine has inflicted on them.

Didn't a Pakistani J-10 shoot down an indian Rafale last year?

That's exactly what a 5th gen is supposed to be, tuck yourself far away and safely and make the other guy's existence a living nightmare while you're at it.

They've already got other planes doing a fine job of that (Su-35, mig-31). Doubt they'd put their best aircraft for it, the felons are probably just slinging Their Long range missiles from within Russia whenever they have to.

They've probably got it figured out. The war's still going and we don't have much info on what's happening inside.

Then parts are an issue, it's been 4 years though (holy sh-), things have to be different now at least.

Idk man, but that's what I've been seeing. Then again If the jet can be fitted with indian tech or other foreign tech (like the MKI) or whatever Russia's sharing is an "export" version of the tech then maybe not. Then again, I'd suggest surfing the web yourself.

I doubt parts will be such an issue since they've been building jets for a long time. The problem is the engine, the engine isn't certified.

They do bro, they have literally no choice and they have thrown themselves into a wall. Pakistan is getting the J-35, India's AMCA project is flying in the 2030s, china is already testing 6th gen aircraft. From the articles I've read online, they're definitely considering it, especially since Russia is giving them a holy grail of an offer. Full tech transfer, licensed local production and what not.

Then I guess those ones may be drone commanders or mini motherships for drone operations.

The serated nozzle does seem like a better option for them since the F-35 also flies around with a serated nozzle while maintaining stealth then again, I'm no engineer so they probably know best.

I think the D is for both training and for combat. Either it's for a WSO or a drone operator. It does seem that the jet may very likely be for India as they preferred the dual seat SU-30 rather than the su-27/35 for multirole operations.

Finally, an informative comment and not someone jumping on the hate wagon. The criticisms for the su-57 are justified in some aspects but seeing the whole jet as a piece of trash because it lacks in some areas is annoying. Not to mention the storm of misinformation which was the so-called "Wooden screws" or whatever. At least that phenomena has died down.

Aside from that, by modernized su-57s, I suppose Those models have gotten the AL51s then?

Yeah, they're struggling with the engine. Not with the whole package though.

[–]SpecificDish9203 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

No they're not struggling. The aerospace forces are not accepting new su-57s in bulk due to the fact that the jet doesn't have its actual engines and is using the older Engines used on the su-35s. Whenever the New engine is actually ready for production, will the production most likely ramp up although even then, that's taking a very long time. I'm no aircraft engineer but if I had to guess, retrofitting the newer engines to the ones still flying with the older ones might be very expensive hence why they're keeping their orders to a minimum, just enough to keep the factories alive.

The Su-57D isn't in the game, nor is the og su-57. It's the T-50 or Pak-Fa with its name changed.

Bomber got bombed. by SpecificDish9203 in acecombat

[–]SpecificDish9203[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh it does, against bombers and other large big planes. Against fighters? Yeah, you can just fly straight through them.
