WT has a certain widespread distrust towards armed trainers, unless they really have to be added due to strong demand (Alpha Jet and may be now L-39 for Russia) or necessity (SK-60). The only short-term hope is that Nova finishes its project on the 326 K. The fact that the K has been outsourced to a third says a lot, and the fact that Italy has been neglected for years is nothing new. With the Stikemaster as the event vehicle, I hoped they would add something else from the armed trainer/light attack vehicle category, but it remained a one-off and not a tech tree vehicle.

IMHO At least two models of the 326, along with the Impala, and a minimum of three models of the 339. These aircraft are among the best-selling Italian planes after World War II in a lot of different versions.

You aren’t saying nothing that I didn’t know, unfortunately
This actually removes any hope for me, since if 326K is made by a player, it is going to come either as premium or event. So no regular 326K (despite for Italy it can even be added in 2 different variants RS-24 and RS-25, without considering export). Plus it puts other variants of 326 under question, we already have IAR-81C and IAR-93B (both are made by Nova btw) in WT representing best of 81 and 93, while all other variants of these planes are skipped.

So far it’s a premium though.

Better than nothing! I hope it’ll boost the popularity of the Italian TT even more.

I wonder BR it will be, because 7.0 is too high for it right now considering the MB-326K

Yeah, I believe it’s a placeholder, although they could easily mix up variants or play technically possible card to give it better weapons, which is I’m afraid of especially considering it’s a premium.

So its currently at 7.0 with 2 50cal machine guns or 2 7.62 machineguns. Compared to the K with litterally multiple times the firepower, it needs to go too 6.7 (or 6.3) in airRB… it just doesnt have the firepower to compete

Should go lower, yeah, the engine is also wrong as people say, haven’t check myself yet.
Honestly not only br is high, but I don’t understand why to make it premium. There are other MB-326 variants which would fit that role way better, hell, they could even just add premium MB-326K RS-24 prototype with ADEN cannons and Viper 540 engine 🤷♂️

So it’s 6.7 now, I think I’ll buy it later for 6.7 line-up during first discounts.

I wonder if it has any guns except the gun pods. and also, now its FM has some issues. when it at high speed, the overload now is only 6-7G, which is worse than MB326K
Nope, it doesn’t.
Sounds pretty bad, I wish it could be 6.3 then
