would be a while before we get it, IF we get it
Nor do we have ASRAAM, IRIS-T, AIM-120C5, Meteor, Brimstone 2, Brimstone 3, Spear 3, Storm Shadow, Taurus, etc, etc for the Typhoon. (Heck, we dont even have true Brimstone 1s yet, not that it actually ever used them)
There really is nothing that the Su30 could possibly add that the typhoon can’t already do and do better
Again fellas i’m not asking for it to be added in, I like the flankers being somewhat unique to only two nations. IMO gaijin bunged it up by making India a subtree for UK cause IAF and IN inventories are extremely diverse and will mess things up.
But wait a second, aren’t the Taurus and Storm Shadow cruise missiles? In that case Su-30MKI can carry the BrahMos which is supersonic compared to the other two.
(I wish more of my country could be represented without messing up the in game balance and stuff)

Yeah, India should be either its own nation with some subtree(s) to flesh it up, or a subtree of Israel. I’ve tested both and both allow pretty cool trees
Putting in with Britain is bad for Britain and for India

I think a better plane might be the MiG-29K operated by the Navy, its supposed to be somewhat lighter than the 29UPG/SMT that IAF operates (no spine fuel tank modification) and with a larger wing area (45 m2 vs 38 m2).
It might not take away too much from the russian tree (the only other user of the type) cause most people dont play the fulcrums anymore from what i can tell and it’s not going to be meta defining anyway. Might even incentivise Gaijin to improve the MiG-29’s current FM issues

Missed oportunities is the middle name for war thunder these days, unfortunately.

Don’t worry, it’s never too late. At some point they’ll have to add nations if they want to survive, and not adding India then would be a blunder

Maybe one of the most unique vehicles and yet WT has made me so tired of its BS that idgaf…
Logically i’ll get it without even thinking of grinding though…
The gameplay is tragic… across the board.
Adding crap means nothing.
really ??? maru 9.0 still rank 5 ???

If I had to guess, the choice to add this vehicle at the original BR was based on trying to fill a hole in the tech tree and NOT in-game flight performance.
It has happened before and will happen again.

Called it, rank changes always lag behind but knew there was no way it was staying at 7.7 with those specs
For GRB CAS maybe, but Britain’s 7.7/8.0 is fine for ARB with meteor and co. 8.3/8.7 is a little dodgy but that’s more down to compression and other things being under BRed. The only true gap we have is a supersonic fighter at 10.7/11.0 like the F5/Mig21
I’m looking at this jet and I’m trying to come up with a single reason that it is worth my time. Last Indian event jet was also an absolute turd that I wasted my time on (Jaguar IS). What am I missing, here?
Ask a little kid to draw a jet and this is what they will draw.
Other than that…
