Flankers missing from war thunder

Here are just a few flankers missing from the game:
1. USA: Su-27UB

  • Why: The US military operated two Ukrainian Su-27s for training. It would be a cool Event or Squadron vehicle.
  • Radar: N001 mechanical radar.
  • Potential AAM Loadout: 10 air-to-air missiles total. Standard mix of 6x R-27ER/ETs and 4x R-73s with HMD.

2. Great Britain: Su-30MKI

  • Why: Fits the existing British-Indian sub-tree lineup.
  • Radar: N011M Bars PESA radar.
  • Potential AAM Loadout: 12 air-to-air missiles total. It can run a massive Fox-3 loadout with 12x R-77s, or substitute them for R-27ERs and R-73s. The coolest option would be carrying up to 4x Indian Astra (Fox-3) missiles alongside the Russian kit.

3. France or a new Saudi/Arab Tree: Su-30MKA

  • Why: Algerian variant. France gets unaligned nations, or it anchors a future Arab tree.
  • Radar: Custom N011M Bars PESA radar.
  • Potential AAM Loadout: 12 air-to-air missiles total. Full top-tier flexibility with up to 12x R-77 Fox-3s or a customized mix of R-27ERs/ETs and R-73s for close-in dogfights.

I dont want SU-27 bus in my precious USA tree

7

yes we have many copied vehicles but the only ones that are almost sure to come are su30MKI which is not copy paste

8

actually Japan has both so If I wanted to play both that’s what I would grind but that’s not the point the point is sort of unique flankers missing from the game and arabic tree missing from the game which could be a whole tree with enough vehicles on most ranks

True, but still.

Neither France, USA or Britain needs a C&P Su-30

“It’s not copy paste, it’s adding unique additions”

Whilst being virtually identical in practice.

then how will we get Indian su30MKI which is NOT copy paste new radar and missiles if added flankers are almost as common as f16s in top tier tress china gets f16V which is not very unique but unique might as well do the same with lower not ungraded flankers an American Su27UB wouldn’t be anywhere near as good as su30sm2 so its not really an issue in terms of being OP

12

America has a good amount of ussr vehicles ( iirc mig15,mig17,mig23,su27 and mig29) but they don’t need them the only reason I would like to see America get Russian jets is if Russia gets American jets but I doubt that would happen because that would make different nation tech tree pointless and might as well make all tech trees into one

13

By them adding an actually different flanker with Indian munitions. Y’know, like the F16 in the French tree that carries French munitions. You don’t need to glue nigh identical variants into other trees just to justify 1 semi unique article.

Either add it to the USSR tree, or dont add it at all.

Still has absolutely no place in the British TT.

If you want Tonkas, Harriers, Jag and Typhoons, Play Britain.

If you want Su-30s, Play Soviets.

I dont see why Britain needs every single top tier aircraft just because it has all 56 commonwealth nations stuck in it

15

china literally is a slightly different ussr in game they have f-16 ik the USA su27UB is a stretch but su-30MKI is not

16

then why does japan get su30 why does china get SU30 why does almost every nation get f-16 why does almost every nation get f-15?

17

Because Gaijin are too lazy to add unique aircraft so instead just result in C&P.

But just because of that I dont see why Britain needs C&P Rafale, Mirages and Su-30s just because Gaijin have added C&P Soviet ground vehicles from India.

18

Flanker with Indian armament would be interesting, but that’s about it. Payload doesn’t differ enough on the others to warrant.

19

then what is left to add except 5th gen that is not copy paste or has a airframe that’s in game let me answer nothing so Britain gets indian rafales with unique Indian missiles not found anywhere else in the game

Myriad spitfires, a bunch of cold war contraptions, twin seat lightning, etc etc

Top tier is not the be all and end all.
