i want to know how to use the kh41 off the su33, can anyone help me out??

OK no probs, but you have to understand that this feature was only added for Lockon for a bit of fun by the Devs. Whilst the Russians planned to add the Kh-41 to the Su-33, and many websites claim (inaccurately) it was done, they never had the money to do it, so it is not realistic.

First, the ship that is your target (Kh-41 is an anti-ship missile so only will work on naval targets) must be selected as a target using the TARGET button from an ATTACK waypoint for your aircraft in the Mission Editor.
Second (kinda obvious), ensure you have Kh-41 in your weapon loadout.
Third, once ou are airborne and within a couple of hundred Km's or so of the target, switch on air to ground mode by pressing 7, press D to cycle weapons to the Kh-41, press I to switch on radar, when in range you should get LA (launch authorisation) in your HUD, fire at your convenience.

Kh-41 is big enough to sink small/medium size vessel on its own, anything bigger needs more hits, take some bombs as well if you want to finish the target off yourself, or take wingmen and give them a Kh-41 too.

Hope this helps....

Thanks, I got it sorted now

Not again. Same thing every time.

Thunderbolt_II, there is a group of revisionists on this forum, and they consistently distort the facts on the current reality of Russian aviation.

I've been down that road with them a number of times, and apparently this is just what they do.

Their pattern is always the same. Doesn't matter how official the information source is, they keep denying it and blame everything on the supposed lack of Russian military funding, which was a fact a DECADE ago.

Here's a picture from MACS 99, a SU-33 with a mounted Kh-41, with a SU-33 mountable Yakhont in the foreground.

A picture tells a thousand words;

These fact deniers here always say the same thing, Russians are liars and until President Bush announces that Russian aviation is capable of fielding long range supersonic anti-ship missiles they will deny it till they foam at the mouth.

They automatically discard ANY source which is not American, even when such source is a MACS arms trade show.

The idea that misrepresenting official capabilities of the product on international arms trade shows leads to complete credibility fore-fit does not really get through to these guys.

The fact that undercarriage mounting systems for both the Moskit and Yakhont existed for years, that test fires were conducted and that Russians simply do not waste money on "exhibition" mock ups does not concern these guys as well.

Same goes for supposed lack of ground mapping capability of Meich-33 radar of the SU-33, supposed inability of SU-33 to carry Kh-31 family of missiles and R-77s for both SU-27 and SU-33, deleted active data-link which allows for zero emissions ambush tactics, time to impact counters, the list goes on.

All these guys always say that the ED developers just don't know what they're doing or are biased because they're re Russian. Saying that KH-41 was added to SU-33 just for fun is ridiculous, because the very foundation of the Flanker sim generations are based on ultimate realism in military simulation. Every single ED/SSI product makes a point of it in their mission statement.

The only good part is that all these stubborn guys will loose their credibility when NATO catches up by implementing direct energy defense systems and such facts will be publicly accepted and published by Western annalists. even though internal assessments have been stating that for years. Australians are very good in releasing government security assessment to the public, and such weapons always make the top of the list.

Australian and UK aviation forums for example do not have even a hint of such nationalistic denial, here's an example back from 2002, and since then natural phases of progress already took place;

Here's a another good article;

Enjoy.

First of all, the English letters are MAKS (Russian is MAKC-Mezhdynarodniy Aviatsionno-Kosmicheskiy Salon), there is no English "C" in the Russian alphabet. Secondly, the gentleman who gave you the most detailed description, in previous discussions, of why these things are not present on Su-33s...is from Denmark, and has actually spent a great deal of time doing hands-on research of Russian equipment. Just a hint for you: "hands on" means doing a bit more than reading game boxes and internet articles. Your picture is of a Kh-41 mockup on a stand underneath an Su-33s wing, and the picture was taken 7 years ago. This proves employment capability in what way?

You seem to be under the illusion that the people who say it currently does not have that capability are saying it simply because we wish that it doesn't. As was said by BRD, this capability was not developed to its full pootential due to financial concerns. What? Do you think EDs team in Moscow is downgrading Russian fighter capabilities just to please us "stubborn" Western people? That's hilarious dude.

Welcome back! We needed some comedy around here.

BTW...I see in the first link you provided that Crobato is one of the members, and even he says that missile would only be employed by Su-35s and Su-37s, with the possibility of being employed by Su-30s with upgraded radar. Do you choose not to believe him because he is "Western"? Actually, the guy is Bulgarian and has actually spent time as a maintainer of Russian-designed aircraft. He was, at one time, a well-respected member of this community, and he actually knew what he was talking about. He stopped posting on this forum a while ago, mostly because the aviation forum had pretty much died. I can assure you, Western, or not Western, when Crobato spoke...we all listened and learned.

Edit: I also noticed that your links are 4 and 9 years old, respectively, and the first doesn't even match your opinion.
