Agreed on all points; I mostly use it to farm SL and get first strike awards for tasks lmao
SK 60F, 9.7
J35B for Finland, 9.3
J35F2 for Finland, 10.0
J35J, 10.3
I collected these as easy additions and to fill potential gaps.

@Nirvana7125-live Are you aware that the Mig-15UTI was only armed with single Afansev 12,7mm machine gun with 150 rounds? Jet with only a single .50cal would be pretty useless in-game.
@AspandaIV According to the J.Raunio’s book Myrsky prototype went through four major modifications during it’s test flights as follows:
MY-1 Phase I (1942): as built, armed with 2x12,7mm in fuselage and 4x7,7mm (Browning?) in wings.
MY-1 Phase II (early 1943): weight and drag reduction program, 7,7mm wing-guns removed, fuel capacity reduced by 50l, also other protrusions removed, result was 10km/h increase in top speed.
MY-1 Phase III (1943): new tail fitted that was larger w/o external bracing, improving rudder effectiveness and another increase in top speed (now 504kph@3000m)
MY-1 Phase IV: new NACA cowling, cooling gills and exhaust piping, top speed increased to 518kph@3000m
The new Phase III tail was later found out have a flutter issue, MY-2 and MY-4 disintegrating in dive trials and MY-6 limping home without elevator. First modern Flight Data Recorder “Mata-Hari” helped to solve the crashes.
All the Myrsky I’s were basically also prototypes with individual differences:
MY-2: 3x12,7mm guns, new larger production model wing, thinner plywood covering, shortened NACA cowling, metal Hamilton-Standard propeller
MY-3: 3x12,7mm guns, new larger production model wing, regular strength plywood covering, extended NACA cowling, wooden VLS propeller
MY-4: 4x12,7mm guns, slotted wing, thicker plywood covering, wooden VLS propeller
Myrsky apparently had a tendency to suddenly fall on one wing nearing the stall speed. While this was not considered to be a issue during the war, but the post-war landing mishaps with rookie pilots caused the MY-50 being prototyped with slotted wing designed for destroyed MY-4.
Wartime Erzatz-materials were apparently a major issue post war, strenghtening was simply an attempt to keep them flying. (Plywood de-laminating, nails popping off, bearings failing etc.) MY-28 disintegrating in air in 1947 resulted in all planes being permanently grounded. MY-50 later got a one-off special permit to fly, only to crash when pilot forgot to extend the flaps on landing.
The book has almost 30 pages into Myrsky development and flight testing, way too much write here.

No, that’s why I asked about the armament 🤦

Go for it. Anything in regards to the Viggens is good to see
Not to forget the Tp 80 Lancaster.
(Unfortunately unarmed.)

- P-40 Warhawk
The P-40 in question is a P-40M which is a variant that we don’t have in game. Also it was a Red Army P-40 so it would go to the “Captured Soviet planes” category instead of export even if it’s not made in the USSR
S-12, Swedish operated He-114 Reece floatplane. It can be equipped with a defensive gunner, also small bombs if needed. Apparently it can equip forward mounted MG’s though not always. Also it’s unclear if that’s exclusively a German and/or Romanian upgrade or the Swedes did the same to the S-12’s.

Here’s a pic of the L-90 RediGO with it’s loadout plus a armed L-90 in Mexican service
The two pics below is of the L-70 Vinka which is the predecessor aircraft to the L-90, developed exclusively by Valmet. The second pic is of the FFPV gunpod mounted on a Vinka
This is the 7.62 version right?
No
It’s a 12.7mm. The same that the HKP9A uses and the gunpod the HKP3C is supposed to have
Since the J-35J is finally coming, here’s some pics of potential I would like to see (Note: some of the J-35’s below may be of the F model but since all F’s were modified to J standards it wouldn’t be a disqualification)
And first two Finnish F-35A’s have arrived:
(Third had to stay behind at Azores due to unknown issue)
Good progression towards the 50% operability mark!
@Pheonix_RX01 did J32B ever have “radar sight”? Almost finished spading the thing and ngl it is still bad, even with almost all mods and all missiles available (90 rpg on Swedish ADENs are… something)
Let me ask some peeps on the swedish discord about that, I know vehicles without tracers like the Drakens and such had a system set up but let me double check.
Alright thanks. Somehow I have seen this thread before but forgot about it. Pitty it doesn’t get both with sights tho
