It’s considerably less capable than the jaguar

I will be grinding it out mainly for the collectivity of it and the fact its the closest im getting to a J-22 Orao
This had such good potential to be a wicked event vehicle and Gaijin flops yet again, give it the R-60s, CM pod and other things it could possibly carry then we can start talking.

I think Stona accidentally miss spelled “IAR-93’s” here

Too bad it overheats so easily 😞

Never had it.
I think you are confusing the aircraft. The IAR-93 never had a CM pod, that’s the Yugoslavian version the J-22, which was a modernization.

It is far from being a lineup grinder, but still a very nice collectible.
Why should it have weaponry and equipment it did not carry only theorised to carry
If Gaijin was adding the J-22 Orao yes i would agree but not the IAR-93

@TeodorSan Makes me happy a fellow enjoyer of the airframe as its a very niche aircraft in both nations senses but i nice one at that. Just hoping for a user skin now just to orao it a bit
Don’t worry, Nova got you covered ;)
Shame this isn’t a premium.

Still not worth the grind
I said “possibly” since I wasn’t entirely sure it carried them or not, if it was planned then throw it at it.
I agree, should have had the R60s and flares for balancing purposes if the launchers could have carried them (the Romanians most likely recycled the launchers from their Mig21 which did carry R60 and the flares pod SPS141 or whatever it was called). Gaijin has done this on and on - e.g. Yak 141 which never even entered service. As things stand, it’s a plane from mid 70s which will end up fighting planes from the end of the 40s. Not satisfactory at all but I will grind it anyway.

On paper that was it
Thanks for putting in the game! However, I am a bit disappointed that a modern Romanian decal didn’t come alongside it. Now, besides the Osa, there’s the IAR sporting it. Do you guys think we’re going to get it?

No countermeasures makes this a no from me. Mid event, I hate when we get Event Aircraft that can barely do air to air combat…
from what ive noticed test flying it is probabally gonna fly like a Hunter F.1 with missiles
In general I am very happy to see this plane in the game, although maybe that’s unfortunate of the Italian TT for whatever reason (looking how poorly it’s treated, still without a single Aermacchi jet or Caproni prop since 2017, rare unique models additions in general, despite enormous potential especially in terms of WW2 aircraft), but why another Romanian plane in its best variant, actually in even worse way than IAR-81C, which can be added in multiple variants to bolster TT with unique designs instead of only copypasting models from big nations, gets hidden behind paywall/limited event this time.
Ok, nevermind best variants.
IAR-93 could be added in at least 3 variants (2 non-afterburner A and MB + the best one, with afterburner, B), but looking at this plane as a user model, with all respect to @NovA29 it seems we won’t get any researchable variants of 93, unless he desides to make them (correct me if I’m wrong, if Gaijin can use B model to get other variants).
So my feelings are mixed, I will do event of course, because I like Romanian stuff, but I’m sad to see another missed opportunity for this country and look how its vehicles are used only for premiums/events (the only exception is Romanian OSA-AKM, it’s copypaste though).
