Su-37 should be an event vehicle. It wasn’t mass produced (though you could say the same of the Yak-141 which was also due to the collapse of the Soviet Union). I say event vehicle because there is no place for it in the USSR tech tree. Everything about its capabilities put it near Su-35 territory and we haven’t even gotten through most of the “early” Flanker variants yet.
There are tons of options for Rank 8 premiums for USSR… I can’t think of any off the top of my head but there are numerous MiG-29/Su-27 and the like-variants of each that Gaijin could just as easily choose from.
Nah. Not close. EAP was a new project. That its something like a mig1.44 or Yak141… While the su-37 could use new materials as Su-35s. Is still a Su-27m/Su-30 derivative. It loadout don’t have much variation at it should be the same as other Flankers.
You know what plane its premium in game and didn’t have Flares? America F-5, one of the best seller premium in the game.
Would you look at that, an F-5A with flares, and on the forum no less. Your post’s whataboutism failed.
There are better ideas for a rank 8 premium than an alleged Su-37.
Yea kid. You literally posted a comment of someone on this forum… Literally saying what i have said… Or are you blind enough to don’t have read what the guy on the comment YOU linked said?.. Also what its more funny its that YOU in that thread where defending the FLare on the F-5… You’re BIAS/hypocrisy is showing.
@Temeraire
Interesting that your posts resort to personal attacks after your previous posts were proven to be incorrect.
Your post even claims up is down and left is right… in this case your post is claiming consistency is hypocrisy, and impartiality is bias…
Yes, I’ve defended historically accurate flares on Mig-23ML, F-5A/C, Su-17M3, etc; would you rather have all those aircraft suffer? Do you want F-5C to be 9.7 so you can use it at a lower BR and not face Mig-23s every so often?
It doesn’t matter the other content of the post if the photograph proves what I stated correctly.
BTW, you HAVE to argue against flares for Su-17M3 if you oppose them for F-5, as otherwise that’s this thing called hypocrisy.
I reckon the soviet rank 8 premium shouldnt be a flanker variant but either a mig 29OVT or mig 29m with the mig 35 going after the mig 29smt and mig 29k going in the yak line. The Su-37 could be an event vehicle and mig 31 could also be added as an event vehicle with a mig 25 premium.
It is bad enough that F-20 was made premium which is especially obvious now with the F-18 premium. SU-37 should be a event vehicle for sure. Perhaps with the mythical R-27EP/EA. Just like F-20 should have received AIM-120.
If you want one of the T-10M’s (that’s the name of the prototypes 701 to 711 (Su-37 is 711)) to be added i’d rather see 703 as it has been photographed with a TIALD TGP
is this supposed to be a “gotcha” moment or something?
America did not mount AN/ALE-40 dispensers on their F-5A/Cs, however export variants did receive this addition. The F-5C Skoshi Tiger did not have the pods installed when they were supplied to the South Vietnamese Air Force.
