Beer Thunder: The SM Somehow Sucks More.

Listening about chicken nuggets was more entertaining than about war thunder.

Even the SMT radar ( Zhuk-M ) which is the most modern Soviet/Russian radar in the game and one of the most modern in the game performs abysmally bad overall . For istance when compared to APG-68 up to V7 ( which for all purposes are at best equal if not vastly inferior to the Zhuk-M for the early variants IRL) , the APG-68s do scan much faster ( depite both types employing slotted array antenas ) , they render targets much faster ( usually takes 1-2 passes over the target while Zhuk-M can take sometimes over 5 passes ) and hold their track much better .....

You know I was really curious about that ghost pepper chicken nugget. Thank you for taking the plunge for me and letting me know how they were upon your review I do not think I will be sampling this menu item.

Thank god ur the one the few legit sim YouTubers out there-Bosszilla

Simpily Sinful is on AT ALL times

Ok glad to know its not just me getting that bug, shits so annoying

The radar is easily the worst at top and even sub-top tier, it’s also bad irl but the thing is that irl it wasn’t even meant to be good, it was meant to just be there to be able to guide missile not to find targets without any info about em while ground based radars + combination of multiple Su-27’s radars that actually work as net + AWACS’s were meant to find targets and show it on data link screen with all useful information such as altitude, IFF, speed, distance and flight direction so the only thing Su pilot should do is to point its radar to the exact point where the target is and launch a missile instead of doing things like “RWR shows there’s a target, my radar shows nothing, should I spend another 7 seconds waiting for update at this altitude cause the radar just bad or should I increase radar elevation cause the target is higher and spend another 14 seconds to get proper soft lock and so on and so on”. We have none of these things in game so yeah … its radar almost useless Also the only kinda reliable way I found to actually lock targets inside ranges where the R-77 isn’t completely useless (inside 15km) is to lock the target using IRST and then switch to the radar. I literally don’t use radar at all in any other cases cause it literally works against me - I wont be able to find a thing while all nearby enemies will get info about where I am lmao, especially if sum it with the fact that the R-77 is completely useless outside 20km range and easily dodgeble without even chaffing/notching outside ~12km, it makes it even less “helpful” to use radar cause even if I will find the target - the R-77 won’t hit it anyway while again, all nearby enemies will get my position

there needs to be more radar settings you can access to change PRF and manually adjust scan angles and stuff. It shouldnt be MANDATORY but it'd be a good way to reward people who put in the time to learn it, like manual engine controls

The white people spicy part got me 😂 I’ve been getting some good Nashville style chicken recently just to find out the spice level I’ve always been eating what ghost pepper lol. But I honestly think that you are picking up missiles on radar, happens to me too, they just blow up and disappear

Honestly I just use the EO in vertical scan/HMD to lock people and then switch to radar. Doesn’t give you range or heading but at least it locks.

To be honest I had more fun in the smt than the 27sm, I unlocked a few days ago, and I was playing it stock, it was a pretty bad experience, the radar of the smt with the new r77 is ok in rb, you can kill 2 or 3 per match frecuently if you use terrain. Speaking about a competent plane for the ussr, I think we just need to wait at least. until the su30sm.

now i'm tempted to try the new wendy's chicken nuggets

You either get no flight performance but infinite radar or flight performance, infinite flight performance, but no flight performance

I quite enjoy going to low earth orbit in my su27

would the su-27 be better if auto flaps were removed there is a bug report on it that was acknowledged 2 months ago

I play the 27SM in RB, and you also need to deckrat as much as possible. Except now you have nametag over your head and your adversaries have ~20km ACM range to your 10km ACM range!

lol i love how spastic the radars on soviet jets are. If the r27/r27e was like the Sparrow M was from day one they would have zero battle presence.

Thank you for saying they should of added a better version, it’s something I’ve said as well. The N001VEP is really just that bad, being just a ARH capability upgrade of the N001 which was abysmal even for its time. SM3 or even SU-35 would of been better choices (maybe with R-37M)

I don't knooooow, sounds like a cope seethe mald to me(why does it have to suck so much and why did they have to break the only good sensors russia has)

13:50 One year after SM release was presented f-22, what are you talking about?
