I want su-27skm so badly
IdAF ?
But, RTAF operated unarmed or rearmed ?
Yup! It’s such an easy thing too
But hey Gaijin loves to disappoint

Would it be cool to have a mostly historical skin that I would buy with GE? - WT community

That’s unfortunate, I’ve spent time making two suggestions (with another one on draft) for RTAF camouflage for the Japanese F-86F-30. They’re still pending acceptance from the suggestion mods.
I’d think so, also IdAF does have armed T-33, but it only got two .50 cals and couple of rocket pods, idk about RTAF T-33

The mods are really overloaded they really need to do an employment blitz and burn though all the pending suggestions. I made a few crossover event suggestions 3 months ago and still waiting.
With the hawk 209 being on sale, I think now is a good time to mention all the thing wrong with it!
it still has no radar, no additional mavericks, no additional sidewinders, no upgraded RWR, incorrect cockpit layout, as well as having the gunpods be fixed instead of it being…you know… a gunpod. Im sure thats not the only issues as well, i could be forgetting something
the flaps not deploying they fixed relatively quickly but all of the ones above they didnt, but you know it is what it is, i mean the Mi35 still hasnt gotten its FFAR and its been what ~5 months now? and thats a relatively simple change, so i dont have the best of hopes

also slightly unrelated but here is also the armament images of the IL-28
Just realize now that the Il-28 pictured is of the Il-28U which is the two-seat trainer. They were unarmed in service of other nations that operated it (No forward mounted guns due to the nose being completely different and rear turret guns removed but otherwise stayed the same so it’s theoretically possible to add them back. Unclear if the bomb bay was removed but very likely as well).
However if bombs are displayed in front of it. That could imply that at least the Indonesian Il-28U’s can at least carry bombs. Though that could just be just as likely if not more like that it’s just a stand in for the bombloads for the combat Il-28’s (excluding the torps of course).

i dont recall there was ever any changes to the Il-28Us (could be wrong)
I think it being a substitute is more likely, but we wont know for certain
in regards to the lack of torps, its the Air Force’s display not the Navy’s, so that kinda explains why they dont have a torpedo ready on standby.
And honestly id much rather have the Il-28T since it would be capable of carrying both standard ordinance or the torps (plus it would be a different model as well)

Agreed but mostly because we don’t have the Il-28T in game and the USSR already has an analogue in the form of the Tu-14 with the possible compliments of their jet flying boats

I could see them finally adding the Su-30MK2 on the tech tree with Indonesia, and Indonesia has more of those than the 27SKM at the moment too. Besides it could be like I said, I don’t know which RWR the SKM is supposed to have but if it retained the SPO-15 it’ll just be a slightly worse J-11A because the 11A at least has MAWS. I’d rather have a lower BR Su-30 for free which would be pretty much like the Venezuelan one
su-27skm has l-150 so its fine
su-27skm demonstrator “305”
as you can see in this image from flight manual, su-27 with spo-15 does not have these tips on the wings
also its product page says it can guide kh-31p missiles which only l-150 can do and not spo-15lm

Good to know that it doesn’t have the SPO-15, that would’ve been a big letdown, then I suppose either of them can be added, I do like the single seat Flankers more but I’d also like to see the earlier Su-30 that’s not a premium and present as a regular vehicle in one of the trees

no indication for minor addition for Japan air yet it seems
“Something for everyone to enjoy” does at least imply there will be something, only question is what it could be. Maybe filling in one or two aircraft at lower BRs for Malaysia since those were entirely skipped before.

tbf the tree did just get 4 high-tier jets last major update, so if there was any new addition it wouldnt be something like a whole new line

Exactly what I thought about saying, but you nailed it, yeah I could see maybe a jet to bridge the gap at lower BRs, maybe a tech tree Hawk or maybe something Indonesian on the old R2Y2 line but not quite top tier, I’d like to see a Lim 5 come up and start getting us ready for the future but usually gaijin brings a whole line at once, would be cool though
Got bored, making a similar version.
V1.1A
Open Folders
Closed Folders
Differences;
¬ With the addition of Rank 9, it looks like Gaijin really wants Rank 8 to be 2 tiles vertically. The F-15J Folder comes in the next major, as does F-5/F-16
¬ F-4EJ Kai ADTW added in the TT which does go against the theme of all ADTW being Premiums, but I think its a fair one.
¬ Someone mentioned that the Su-27SKM could in reality go down to 13.3. With how BRs are right now, thats plausible but I’m keeping it at 13.7 for now.
¬ F-15JSI added, obviously for the future. Same with the Thai JAS39E (hence marked with !!). I left the Rafale C F4 out of as I have it as B/C. The B is in service with Indonesia, the C is not.
¬ F-16A OCU, removed incorrect AMRAAMs. The 13.7 F-16 can be replaced with a Thai F-16AM/BM (foldered with JAS39C) or F-16C/D Block 52IDN (after Su-27 folder).
Note: I don’t expect all of these to come. It’d be sweet, but this is all the possible ones as far as I’m aware. I left out the T-50/FA-50 as I wasn’t really sure if it’d fit in Rank 7 and where.
Speaking of Rank 7, I want to work Rank 6/7 a little bit aswell but my main knowledge sits with Rank 8/9 vehicles.
Edits
V1 → V1.1
¬ Rename of the “*F-16AM/C” to “*F-16AM” to represent the Thai F-16AM.
¬ Addition of “*F-16C/D IDN” to represent the Indonesian F-16C/D Block 52s.
V1.1 → V1.1A
¬ Roles added to aircraft. F-15JSI is designated as an “Interceptor” (as it literally is “F-15 Japanese Super Interceptor”)

The single-seater will most likely be arriving later on in the year as a part of the 2nd batch, relatively its not too far off
In regards to this i have a suggestion in pending for it, but yeah it would essentially be at the very top BR considering its armament
List
- Primary Cannon
- 20mm M61A1 Vulcan
- Air-to-Air Missiles
- AIM-120C-7 AMRAAM
- AIM-9P-4/P-5 Sidewinder
- AIM-9X-2 Sidewinder
- Air-to-Surface Munitions
- AGM-65G/K2 Mavericks
- GBU-38 JDAM (GPS) (mk82)
- GBU-54 LJDAM (Laser) (mk82)
- AN/AAQ-33 SNIPER targeting pod
- Mark12 360kg dumb bombs
- Mark81 250lbs dumb bombs
- Mark82 500lbs dumb bombs
- [Domestic] 125kg BT-125 dumb bombs
- [Domestic] 250kg BT-250 dumb bombs
- [Domestic] 250kg BNT-250 dumb bombs
- [Domestic] 500kg BT-500 dumb bombs
(based on TNIAU's words) As well as technically having the capabilities to carry
- Air-to-Air Missiles
- AIM-9L/M Sidewinder
- IRIS-T Missile
- Air-to-Surface Missiles
- LANTIRN targeting pod
- Mark83 1000lbs dumb bombs
- Mark84 2000lbs dumb bombs
- AGM-84 Harpoon ASM (Indonesia technically has the RGM-84 but its for ship-launch only)
- AGM-88 HARM
Though of course none of the armament on the second part is being operated by the TNIAU
the problem with it is that its essentially a block 25 airframe so dunno how it would fare against the rest of the newer airframes, but it is an option nevertheless

Maybe it’d be a similar BR as the F-16I? It really depends on what armament they put on it as they could easily give it just AIM-120B + AIM-9M because of technical compatibility. If they give it C-5/C-7s then it could be 14.0 but it’d still be Rank 8 probably. The F-16I Sufa next update is still Rank 8 (folder below F-15I Ra’am).
^also despite the fact JAS39E is 14.0, it is Rank 9 in the Swedish tree hence why it is Rank 9 in my model.
