I put the MK2 as a prem following patterns, but I believe there’s still a Su-30MK missing from Indonesia anyways. Not sure how different it is to the MK2 though.

ID has 2 version, Chinese-specific MKK (the prem in the CN tree w/o chinese missiles) but w/ refueling probe, and the MKK2 (MK2) (Venezuelan prem in RU tree)
- Prototype design was prepared in 1998-1999 in KnAAPO as converted serial Su-27UB - it was very quick process, because a design of airframe was adopted from Su-27SK and Su-27M. Su-30MKK incorporated, without changes, Su-27M centre wing section, wing panels, air intakes, tail beams, fins and landing gear and the Su-27SK tail-end fuselage assemblies. Only nose part was new designed.
- January 2003 was signed contract for 24 x Su-30MK2 (sometimes called Su-30MKK2), upgraded version of Su-30MKK (weapons and equipment systems configuration) with antiship weapons. First six aircrafts were delivered between February and June 2004, one was destroyed in March 2004. They carry antiship missiles Kh-29MA and are in PLANAF inventory, Changsha air base. Contract was fully realised. Contract for next batch was canceled in 2006 (aircrafts were quickly sold do Venezuela).

Hopefully we see all this stuff, if so then Japan is poised to be one of the strongest trees in the game, hell I’d say it already is

aaaaand that’s never going to happen, because Gaijin isn’t interested in one single nation having the top-tier aircraft of almost every nation
A) These wouldn’t be top-tier anymore.
B) There’s no indication of “zero interest” when many trees have F-16A/AMs and JAS39C. Not to mention MiG-29 and the fact that Japan already has a Flanker, Gripen, F-16, MiG-29 and F/A-18 from other nations.

Hawk 209 fixes in the dev server:
- Radar has finally been added (AN/APG-66H)
Image
- Gunpod is now a proper gunpod (meaning removable)
but of course its not fully 100% right just yet, we’re still missing the upgraded RWR as well as the added mavericks & missiles

I wish the OCU could equip the 8 AGMs
Also, I always see people referring to the JSI as a striker, just like the E, and I would really like that to be the case, but doesn’t SI stand for “Super Interceptor”? Do we know if it will have ground srike capabilities?

Pretty sure it will. It gets guided Ground and Anti-ship weaponry as far as we know.

I really hope that it does, and that they even keep some technical compativility with weponry even if they dont have it, for War Thunder purposes
Technical Compatibility will always be in play, but as far as we know it cannot use AAM-5s or AAM-4s. So it’s missing those Japanese missiles. Should have the same technical compat. with A2A Missiles (Sidewinders / AMRAAM).

About JSI need to make one note - it is not made and no one know clear specifications of this vehicle. But anyway we know some things.
Only ground weapon we exactly know - JASSM.
There was document by ATLA with researching capabilities of using domestic missiles on JSI

ID Rafale Cs (T-0317 & T-0318) now has a proper camo, very high likelihood they’ll be part of the 2nd batch later on this year with another Rafale B (T-0304)
