They also claim they are the best stealth but a syrian s200 shot a israel f35, israels claim the f35 hit by bird. Is all over internet news 3 years ago. But you free to believe whatever you want.

[@jcadlols]

I feel like with the stealths you might as well have an altitude and speed advantage. You don’t need to hide in terrain & you’ll get better missiles if any lower opponent gets close enough to see you.

[@mortlet5180]

Yup, this is just silly. "BVR" but everyone is just hiding behind *buildings* and using super-zoom Mk.II eyeball. Then again, DCS's poor radar and missile mechanics does incentivise 3rd-gen Vietnam-style flying. Even peer-to-peer 4th-gen combat, with the official "PFM Modules", devolves into this weird ground-hugging pseudo anti-Fox-2 gameplay. It's exactly what I'd expect if you just took the 3rd-gen aircraft and their unreliable rear-aspect Fox-2 missiles from the Vietnam era, and simply made them faster, more maneuverable and cooler looking, while keeping the tech and tactics essentially unchanged. Radar guided Fox-1 missiles are essentially just clones of the Fox-2s, replacing flares with chaff and putting the seeker on the aircraft, but keeping the fundamental tech and tactics the same. The introduction of Fox-3s into this ecosystem would obviously prove extremely deadly for the ground-huggers (just look at how the playerbase complains about Fox-3s being too good, unfair and 'not fun'). So the Fox-3s were simply given a gamified exploit that allowed those same Vietnam-era tactics to be used against even the fastest, highest Fox-3 launch, thereby nullifying any advantage that building and keeping your energy up, being disciplined and respecting standoff distances, or even just practicing and knowing your timelines, etc. would have given the 4th-gen pilot.

[@pottyputter05]

@@mortlet5180 it's a difficult thing as we have to acknowledge that it's a game first and a sim second so it makes me wonder if they should just offer an option on the missles server side for if you want them totally realistic or gameified

[@mortlet5180]

@@pottyputter05 What I wouldn't give to have "full-fidelity" missile modules that we could buy. Yes this could easily be controlled on a per-server basis, but I don't think that's the issue here. Think about it, IRL Air-to-Air missiles (AAMs) don't need to hit you and they almost never miss by very small distances, like we often see in DCS. This is exactly why missile designers are willing to degrade the kinematics, range and the maneuverability of their missiles so much to put large explosive warheads on (reference the payload in The Rocket Equation), when even just the supersonic missile impact and subsequent internal detonation of 1-2kg of RDX would be enough to neutralize most modern lightweight fighters. ED pushes to achieve the most "Realism", while actively ignoring any classified information (and even unclassified or declassified info if it didn't come with explicit, verifiable and written permission to publicly disseminate said information). While this seems sound in principle, in practice they misuse it as an excuse to keep inaccurate or even completely unrealistic things in DCS. They even use it to actively ignore (or in some cases even completely revert it after the fact) multiple, fairly reliable (but not up to their 'standards') sources of information, even when it's obvious that DCS is lacking in that area and that no better source of that specific info is freely available either. One very visible example of this, as it relates to AAMs in DCS, is Proximity Fusing. It is common knowledge (or at least easily verifiable) that kinetic "Hit-to-Kill" interceptor guidance, compared to using an explosive warhead which only requires guidance to get somewhere within tens to hundreds of meters (depending on warhead size, altitude, etc.) of the target, has been a *much* more difficult and less reliable technique until (arguably) very recently. However, even with the AAMs we currently have in DCS and all their problems, ED have decided that it is more 'realistic' to have fighters 'defeat' active radar homing missiles, that came to within 15m (~50ft) of them, by literally out turning the missile (not decoying, masking or otherwise confusing the seeker). Sometimes the fighters are even flying so close and parallel to their persuing missiles that it seems like formation flying. ED insists that this is better and more realistic than having lagging/de-synced players die from a missile that they never saw hitting them. This doesn't make much sense as players are then able to exploit all manner of network issues (high latency, variable latency, packet drops, duplicate packets, etc.) to get a very significant edge. Indeed this lag-teleporting phenomenon was already widely observed years ago when this topic of proximity fusing was being actively discussed. Considering the past and current rate of progress on this, I have absolutely no hope of getting even semi-realistic proxy fusing in DCS withh the next 5-10 years. However, if we ever do get it, you can bet that they will nerf the missiles so that the proxy fusing doesn't suddenly result in a much higher Pk or substantially decrease those Hollywood-worthy, high-G near-misses!

Amazing flying Grump. What's crazy is that's exactly what you see from the Russian pilots from Telegram videos taken by witnesses on the ground. Both their Su-35's and even attack aircraft like their Su-25's are keeping super lower altitudes, and then only pop up to fire, launch a salvo of flares, and hit the deck again. There's actually about 4-5 videos of Su-25's doing this, and I think about 2 of the Su-35's, that I've personally seen. I understand AESA isn't modeled, but people need to realize that Russian and other nations like India who are flying the PESA equipped Sukhoi's & MiG's have been doing training against AESA equipped adversaries, and have still had success, so tactics have been developed and employed. Not to mention the Russians relying on their IRST sensor more than most nations.

[@alekosalekadis6095]

Iam prety sure American have exaggerate their planes abilities. Su 35 and 57 have made the best radars to detect stealth from bvr engage. Of course mods in dcs are incomplete. Not a hater and personally i like f22 to much. But russian planes are in another lvl.

[@LarryJL]

​​@@alekosalekadis6095 I'm pretty sure the SU-57 isn't all that. All development in Russia is full of corruption, so yeah it's going to be very lacking in some aspects. Not to mention there are like 10 of them or something like that. On the other hand F-22 is being kept under wraps when it comes to some functions. To my understanding they limited the pilots from taking part in international excercises, since the pilots aren't allowed to use all of the plane's abilities when other countries are present. Operating with limited abilities lead to some bad habits forming so they put a stopper on it.

[@markbreton1620]

"Grump doesn't have a stealth fighter" Doesn't matter in DCS since ED has not clue what stealth means in regard to low observables aircraft. EW and ATC radar have no problem seeing stealth fighters (the tails B2 is a different story). Radar that is accurate enough for fire control has a big problem seeing (and targeting) stealth aircraft. Also, the SU-57 is loaded with right angles that render it no more stealthy than an F16. And then there is the US doctrine of using the F22 and F35 going radar silent, the F35 finds targets with its EO sensors, F22 fires missiles in the direction provided by the F35 which then datalinks the missiles to the targets. No radar required at any point. But as that is a technology from the last 20 years I don't expect ED to understand that. Heck they still have AGM-88 acting like AGM-45, going stupid when the radar is turned off and ignoring their INS. DCS is a really good attempt at a flight simulator, but they have cut too many corners for it to be considered realistic. They should give their aircraft fantasy names and stop trying to push them off as the real thing. Flight models are accurate enough, but damage modeling is too generic across aircraft and weapon systems are buffed or nerfed to make it not really matter.

[@rubiconnn]

I mean you can't really complain about it when you use modded aircraft. None of the vanilla planes have stealth so there is no point in ED wasting time programming more detail. I with GR would use less mods as 99% of the time it's just a janky mess.

[@AbstractObserver]

are you going to pull a "challenger" and release classified material on how stealth in those fighters work?

[@Kevin-hb7yq]

aspect matters, hard to model in a sim

[@grimreapers]

TBH stealth is only roughly modelled in game at moment.

[@rubiconnn]

@@Kevin-hb7yq Not really. Aspect is already calculated as part of rasterization of the plane's meshes when drawing each frame and the angle of each surface is already calculated for lighting. The only reason why it probably isn't done already is because there isn't much of a point as it won't change gameplay at all.

Recent thing i learned about the su-57 is it has nearly the same indentical side profile as a yf-23. The russians definitly were checking out those yf-23s when we had them just sitting out in the sun. We should of atleast put them indoors. But its stealth profile from the rear is basically non existant on the su-57. And thats where the YF-23 excels over any fighter, basically to this day. Its giant tails that were the size of an f-35 wing alone gave them impressive performance without the need of vectoring. And the flat underside also helped. They were going mach 1.8-2.0 while the raptor hit 1.56 tops.

[@lastknownjedi5119]

Has the side profile of a stealthy su-27 actually so the yf-23 was conceived with the su-27 profile in mind

@@lastknownjedi5119 I doubt that, its a completely new design made from a computer. I know this for a fact. Its a diamondwing completely unique frame, still to this day, basically a 6th gen airframe made in the 80s.

[@jorehir]

- The thing about side profile and YF-23 being left in the sun makes no sense. - Thrust vectoring will always be better for maneuvers, especially at low speed, when wings don't receive enough air. - The YF-23 tails were so big because they combined vertical and horizontal surfaces. In plan view, they look normally sized. - No point in going faster than the F-22, since stealth coatings degrade with high speed temperatures.

[@CMDRSweeper]

Doesn't matter actually, when it boils down to it, there are only so many ways to solve a problem. Just look at the C-5 Galaxy and AN-124, they look very similar from the side profile, but the same mission requirements dictated their aesthetics before they even could get to adding the instrumentation and engines. Same with the "Checkmate" and F-35 as well as the Korean "Baby F-22"

You've just fired a missile at a target within 10 miles.... they have used the terrain to evade it..... do you A) Turn and run (bearing in mind they can probably visually see you now) or B) Use the terrain yourself..... I guess we know the answer now! Thanks for clearing that one up Cap! Also...tactically.... a 20 mile split pincer would have been a better move, pinging the F-35's radar on and off to draw in the two SU's with the 22 flanking

[@ShadyHunter187]

I've been bugging for a F-35 Lightning VS SU-57 BVR Fight although I heard it wouldn't make sense because they both have the exact same stats in terms of stealth and that the FELON would dominate if they were to make it to a merge, however this fight makes a little more sense!

[@Utubesuperstar]

In dcs yes but irl not even close

[@cancelanime1507]

In IRL the RCS of the F-35 puts the SU-57 to shame

In real life the SU-57 is apparently massive relative to other stealth aircraft. This is just what I've heard tell me if I'm wrong.

[@FatherExo]

i’m no ordie but i’m pretty sure if we were flying stealth with air superiority payload, an F-35 in reality would be carrying 2 aim-9s and 4 aim-120s which i don’t think is bad but i was only an avionics maintainer and never really studied the radar cross section with specific payloads

[@timmyburden5701]

Fun to watch video. However in real life I think both Russian jets would go down by a missile hit by a jet that never showed up on their radar screen. They would be left wondering where the jet was located that fired that missile.

[@dylan4972]

@@timmyburden5701 the SU-57 is a 5th gen fighter with current gen stealth and is super maneuverable. The SU-35 would absolutely be prey for the F22 unless it can get within range to find it, but the SU-35 is better in every way to the F35 other than stealth. So I really don't think it would be that easy.

[@timmyburden5701]

@@dylan4972 I mean you could be right. I still feel that the su57 would have a difficult time getting any good lock on a f35 beyond visual range. I do think the su57 is very maneuverable in a close dog fight. India tried out a su57 and they were not impressed. The su57 does look cool.

[@FlyingWithSpurts]

Raptor/Felon pilots should be up at 50,000ft supercruising with their radars aimed down. and Yeah Felon is closer to 0.5m than 0.005m RCS

[@gail_blue]

I'm surprised they don't use guidance from ground-based low-frequency radar to get missiles within [their own high-frequency radar] lock-on range.

[@ashscott6068]

Cus low frequency radar can only tell you that there's SOMETHING, SOMEWHERE, and that's about it. And any communication between surface-to-air missiles and ground radar, would just give away the location of the ground radar. This is all 70 year old technology. There's nothing new here. There's really nothing involved in stealth technology or missile technology, that wasn't widely known to everyone in the scientific community in the 1940's.

[@gail_blue]

@@ashscott6068 Don't you know where the ground radar is anyway? (I thought lf-radars were generally left on all the time) and I think they're accurate to around 100 meters (correct me if I'm wrong) so not enough to target an aircraft, but certainly enough to point a fox3 in the right direction.

[@trolleriffic]

@@gail_blue I think the positional accuracy of those big low frequency radars is a lot worse than 100m so it might be enough to vector a plane into the vicinity of a stealth jet, but not enough accuracy for a missile. The other problem is that those radars are very big and not particularly mobile so they make easy to find targets that would be prime candidates for cruse missile strikes and SEAD missions in the opening hours of a conflict.

[@rianmacdonald9454]

Before watching this, I can of think this is an uneven match up. 2 stealth crafts vs 1 stealth and 1 normal, as much as I love the Flanker, it is an awesome aircraft, stealth alone states it should be targeted and shot down, way before it gets anywhere near the F-22 and F-35 to take a shot. As much I would to watch the Russian's piss all over the USA, in this match, having 2 aircraft that can close to serious distance with out being ''seen'' is too much of an advantage. The SU-57, either flies formation with the flanker, in which case, it's position is known from a great distance, or it bugs out and leaves the flanker in which case, the flanker should be shot down in minutes, leaving a 2 v 1 case. EDIT: Ok I take that back. The flanker, that was some damn good flying, thought those buildings, impressive.
