Would love to see this with its missiles in both USA and LATAM tree!

Made my mind, add it at 10.7 air rb and artificially nerf it to make it able to only carry the non irccm piranhas / aim9L, without the python 3s or 4, as its a turboprop basicaly every missile would be a 1 flare so 10.7 would be ok
This would most likely get the same treatment as the A-10 or Su-25, since they have the option for All-aspect AAMs and guided ground ordnance, it would be forced together with these other 10.3 vehicles. Some guy i discussed the Super Tucano with made the comparison that this plane would function a bit like a helicopter does because of the slow top speed while keeping the predictable flight pattern of a plane.
I read about this plane some months ago since i thought it was interesting how we still have some military applications for small propeller planes. I see a lot of people barganing “if it doesn’t get AAMs or guided bombs etc.”, but that would completely defeat the point of having a plane like this. At that point you might as well just add the Tucano instead (the prior version of which the Super Tucano is based on, never had any guided ordnance).
I don’t think this plane is fit for the USA tech tree since USA never used it in the first place. According to Wikipedia, the plane was only trialed, but never bought. To double down on this, USA already has a couple domestic COIN aircraft similar to the Super Tucano that could be added instead. Currently, the only Brazilian plane is in the Italian tech tree, and the Tucano has pretty much zero affiliation with Italy whatsoever. The best case cenario would be a Latin American tech tree since they have a lot of interesting vehicles on offer, but Gaijin has said they won’t add any more tech trees. It’s a bit of a tough call, but since i do main Italy, i wouldn’t mind it going in the italian Tech tree after all.
Nice vehicle to add but the Elefant in the room is its BR. Yes it’s up to Gaijin but, the best CAS, in technology, we have in game at the lowest BR is the SAAB-105G. Considering the top speed is about 500 km/h I’m wondering where this would be placed.
Looks kinda like the Strikemaster from battlepass, just propeller version.
put it at 10.7 with full capabilities
It’'s not that much slower than a A-10 or the AMX
Or put it lower in BR and remove the laser guided capabilities and the targeting pod.
I’d prefer the 10.7 version in the game, this plane needs to be added.
Nah, just stick it at like 9.7 with AIM-9Ls and like the A-10 it will be bad but annoying to play against
This plane already deserved to be in the game.
