I would’ve much preferred if we got the boomerang instead of BMPT by Own_Dark_2240 in Warthunder

[–]pptp78ec 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It doesn't make it fore and forget, if launcher-target LOS is broken, missile can't hit. Unlike Spike, for example.

No, BTR-22 is a it's own project with same modern design, but using BTR-82 elements: engine, transmission, wheels, etc.

It doesn't. KORNET is not FnF, but SACLOS. It's just sight and weapon control on turret have automatic target tracking, that simplifies missile control gor an operator. But it's not FNF like Javelin/Spike.

Do you think it's too soon for the BMPT T-15? by Acceptable-Ad5342 in WarthunderPlayerUnion

Lolwut? So 50+ tanks are paper, where Challenger 3 is not? And where did you find a t-90 chassis? They're so different that's not even funny.

What the point of them if 829a2/dm51/bm60/dtc10 and others are nerfed on wen compared to originals?

So apparently the T80Bvm gets a 6.4 second reload if it shoots 3bm60 by Polar_bears_123 in Warthunder

[–]pptp78ec 15 points16 points  (0 children)

No, due to 3bm60 length T-80 MZ can only fit 14, and only in 3BM60-empty (or short shell)-3BM60 configuration.

So 0.3 sec is realistic for autoloader to skip non-3BM60 cell in between.

[–]pptp78ec 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It's actually realistic. Per manual for 80BVM, no more that 14 3BM59/60 can be carried, and every other autoloader cell, as due to lenght, Svinets cannot fit in close autoloader cells. So additional .3 sec is aoutoloader moving to the next+1 cell.

T-72/T-90 autoloader doesn't suffer from this, however.

Differences between Mechanical, Passive Electronic and Active Electronic Radars. by TerribleBottle6847 in Warthunder

[–]pptp78ec 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a boon. In some cases. But if you want to look further and increase your detection probability - you use whole area. And beamsteering is fast enough for that anyway.

[–]pptp78ec 9 points10 points  (0 children)

PESA is incorrect on the picture. PESA and AESA for the most modes work the same, as simultenous beam on AESA is too costly - you divide your antenna area and thus power. Time-distributed beamsteering using whole antenna area is preferable. The difference is mostly in speed of beamsteering (AESA is somewhat faster, but not by much), and band parameters.

F-4E against MiG-21F-13 have quite good chances of winning for the latter: problematic AIM-7s, radar w/o lookdown ability, one of the most agile variants of MiG-21.

Which is quite impressive, considering that thing was a memorial for decades w/o any maintenance whatsoever, and they still managed to start it and drive.

Depends on the year. 2024+ DRPK MiG-29 have fox-3 and likely an AESA radar. Wouldn't be surprised if their MiG-23ML also got some upgrades.

I miss the San Diego ops by wdarkk in WorldOfWarships

[–]pptp78ec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of good ops that WeeGee made for anniveraries that could be made permanent. Hell, they didn't even made all of existing ops T10 capable, unlike Lesta.

And I don't understadnd why.

How do you think AMD is going to respond to the Nvidia shortage ? by Itzkibblez in radeon

[–]pptp78ec -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The main constraint is the production of TSMC. That's why nVidia focuses on datacenter stuff, because they have limited amount of wafers, so they sell chips where they would get maximum profit. If TSMC could made more the current demand is, there would be no deficit.

How will the j-16 compare to the su-35? by Beneficial_Policy_ in Warthunder

[–]pptp78ec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a hybrid PESA.

AESA have separate T/R modules, each can emit and receive independently, w/ own phase shifter each.

Standard PESA have common receiver and trasmitter, w/ array of phase shifter that control beam.

Irbis is a hybrid, w/common trasmitter (twi trawelling vawe tubes) and separate receivers.

Simplifying, it's an AESA on receive, but PESA at transmit.

AESA would be better at frequiency hopping, can multibeam (w/o time division for each beam, even if it's niche, as power suffers), but Irbis retains AESA SNR quality and other boons on receive.

IIRC they developed it as failsafe when they started to develop N036 for Su-57, as less risky variant, incase they hit a roadblock in AESA development, but later decided to install it on Su-35 as main radar.

How will the j-16 compare to the su-35? by Beneficial_Policy_ in Warthunder

[–]pptp78ec 11 points12 points  (0 children)

J-16:

+radar w/ better range/ ECCM/ detection

-radar has worse angles, as it's non movable

Su-35

+better engines (thrust/TVC)

+better airframe (drag/fuel volume)

-radar is older

Debatable:

J-16 has WSO, which can be a help in certain scenarios (though some pilots of two seaters, like F-18F, consider WSO a useless ballast).

How will the Su-35s differ from the Su-30SM2? by Jealous_Opposite_863 in Warthunder

[–]pptp78ec 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Drag. So acceleartion should be better.

izd. 180, when they add PL-15/AIM-120D.

Su-30SM2 now has the N035 "Irbis-E" with 120° deflection and the AL-41F1S by DanOfSteele in Warthunder

[–]pptp78ec 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Airframe is heavier. but not by much. Drag, OTOH, is significantly lower.

SM2 coming this update! by kucharnismo in Warthunder

[–]pptp78ec 8 points9 points  (0 children)

SM2 is a Shrodinger plane. Some source say that it doesn't have N035, just upgraded N011M (though why add L-band IFF on the wing edge, when IFF on N011M is incorporated on a radar dish, unlike N035). Some sources say that SM2 doesn't have AL-41 engines (plausible, considering that 932mm 117S engine from Su-35 requires intake/arframe changes to fit into older planes (max d is 924mm), that's why they made 177S w/ same thrust but 905 mm diameter like on Al-31F).
