Downed by AA10A after destroying the launching aircraft again

I thought the AA10C was not SARH. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-27_(air-to-air_missile)
A- SARH
B - IR
C - SARH
D - IRUse the word ‘bIRd’ to remember which is which.

From what I’m told is that the BMS developers only want to implement a feature if it is 100% accurate. With all these (possible) features being classified, therefore, leading to uncertainty, the developers chose not to take a guess or hack at something that may not even exist. The only advice I’m going to provide on this subject is to stay outside of a WEZ.

This version: active-radar-homing (R-27EA) is active radar; @Fox3TwoShip:
A- SARH
B - IR
C - SARH
D - IRUse the word ‘bIRd’ to remember which is which.

I’m not familiar with the Russian designation; only the NATO designation (e.g. AA-10C). And I can assure you that the 10 Chuck is SARH.

R27R is 10A, R27T is 10B, R27ER is 10C, and R27ET is 10D

Wiki seems to get it right
R-27ER AA-10 Alamo-C, the semi-active-radar homing extended-range version. [3]
As for the EA version very difficult to find anything that verifies that ever went into service.

hell, it’s debatable if the ER is even in service (and it’s from the 90s, i think)
if you look at photos from syria the majority of the flankers you see still carry R27R.
the russians likely know a lot of stuff we don’t, either the newer missiles never performed satisfactorily or the R27R/T are much better than everyone thinks.
-
There is at least an obvious size difference with the ER/T to the R/T. With a different radar seeker you might need to read the details on the side of missile to tell.

@Cik:

if you look at photos from syria the majority of the flankers you see still carry R27R.No, ER is Flanker’s standard missile, widely used (at least under and between engines). Alamo is modular. U can change seekers (u need IR?, well just change it!) or extend engine sections according missions. A and C share the same seeker (there are seeker upgrades/mods of course, the same like aim9LMX), but C is longer and have aditional engine section. C is good and fine tunned missile (balanced but quite heavy), A is short legged (made rather for light Fulcrum).
