Effective damage
The high-explosive mass usually destroys any aircraft if hit directly. It is hard to dodge as well, since it is very fast, thus the target has very little time to react.
Comparison with analogues
- R-27R - Predecessor of the R-27ER with less range and speed.
Usage in battles
Since the missile is a long-range BVR weapon, it is best used in a range of 20-50 km. Before firing the missile off, the player should also climb to a higher altitude than the target and exceed Mach 1, as this will provide the missile more speed when being fired.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- High top speed
- Ability to relock a target after firing and losing lock
- High overload
- Large explosive mass
Cons:
- Unable to be fired in TWS Radar mode
- Targeted aircraft will have a RWR notification
