Aug 21, 2023 · My (unfounded) opinion is that the original R-77 and R-77-1 share the same motor. Not a great opinion to have, the R-77 is 3.6m long and 175kg vs the R-77-1’s 3.71m long and 190Kg. Both have the same warhead, and its unlikely the extra 15kg of weight and 0.11m length are avionics related or due to the streamlined nose.

Dec 17, 2024 · The R-77 would be a logical addition to the Su-33 because, as part of the Su-27 family, it would have had the technical potential to carry these missiles, especially with later upgrades. Adding the R-77 to the Su-33 in War Thunder would not only increase the realism of the game but also reflect the aircraft’s development in real life, even if ...

Mar 4, 2024 · Problem is, R-77 and PL-12’s ∆V get’s nerfed, and also get strange air resistance. While AIM-120A performs like a AIM-120C, with super thrust power and very low air resistance. Both R-77 and PL-12 should evenly matched with early AIM-120C. Gaijin should fix the data, and provide American plane with early AIM-120C, not a overpowered AIM-120A.

Feb 28, 2025 · MatAWG was comparing the performance based on the datamined value for the missiles using this. As you see, the planar fins AIM-120B and lattice fins R-77 and R-77-1 have the same drag curve shape, just the magnitude is different. The Drag graph is not correct

Feb 28, 2025 · R-77-1 has a slightly nozzle taper and a shorter burning motor compared to the R-77, that is it. NVM, right now R-77-1 has slightly lower drag and a noticeably stronger motor than R-77. This seems to make it have longer straight line range than the AIM-120A but still worse range against maneuvering targets.

Feb 11, 2025 · AMRAAM is superior in almost every single situation. I really don’t get the R-77. While it is slightly better at close range than the AMRAAM MICA blows both out of the water (at those ranges). There isn’t a single situation in which I would want to use the R-77 over something else. I would honestly take 4 AMRAAMs over 8 R-77s.

Aug 26, 2023 · This video’s an interesting take, R-77-1 with loft and a more powerful motor has against a target on the horizon 90km DLZ, when launched at 12.9km and mach 0.95. This is another thing to toss on the R-77 having 100km range being very suspect- the R-77-1 should have a considerable range advantage and yet even in a hot, high shot lacks 100km ...

Jul 9, 2024 · the R-77-1 currently in the files, and the R-27EA an ARH version of the R27ER, I believe that the R-27EA is supposed to have performance inbetween the R77 and -1, it could be a possible adition, I havent really had a problem with it, but I see a lot of people complaining

Feb 24, 2025 · At high altitudes the grid fins would spend less time in the transonic areas compared to low altitude, so compared to regular missiles the R-77/R-77-1 should enjoy better high altitude performance while taking a hit to lower altitude performance. This seems to be modeled in-game for R-77-1 but the differences are not drastic enough for the R-77.

Jul 17, 2024 · The R-77 is slightly smaller caliber, has slightly higher CxK. This shows that the R-77 has similar drag coefficients to a conventionally finned missile of similar size. The difference is closer than the 0.1 value difference of the CxK as well, since a larger missile will generally also reduce the CxK value in unison.
