Su-35 is almost a fact for Iran, should be added to the tech
I think it defo has the potential to be it’s own nation, maybe some sort of middle eastern nation which includes countries like turkey iran etc. Iran already has so many ground vehicles and a lot of them are domestically produced, theres even a forum about a hypothetical iranian ground tt. I would be a very interesting nation to be added and definitely an OP and so maybe you would have to get to rank 6-7 or even top tier before unlocking it.
Update: Six new vehicles are added (new version of the TT will be added soon)
- EMB-312 Tucano (TT): Tier IV Attacker located after the O-2A
- Su-20 (TT): slotted inbetween the MiG-23BN and the Su-25K
- MiG-23ML (Premium): Tier VII premium
- Su-35 (TT): New top tier fighter at 13.3 First line
- Qaher 313 (TT): New top tier fighter at 13.0 Second line
- HESA Simorgh (Squadron): Rank VI Squadron Attack Aircraft at 10.3
Other changes
- F-4E (2013): Now a TT vehicle but now at 11.7 due to new weapon load of R-73’s
- F-4D (2013): Reclassified as a Strike aircraft
Due to the earlier tiers still being quite sparse i may have to add vehicles operated from another country that Iran had close relationships with, which unfortunately there isn’t any i can choose from in the context of the Islamic Republic since they have a preference for drones over aircraft. For Imperial Iran there is one nation that i am on the fence about could fill up the gaps in the earlier gaps [the nation in question is Imperial Ethiopia] however like i said i am on the fence in that regards. Alternatively i may just make it that it starts at Tier V instead
Oh for sure, we need a Israel TT counterpart like what the USSR is to USA. I also find Iranian vehicles pretty interesting and unique.
Another update: New iteration of the TT is upload which includes the following changes
One new vehicle
- RF-4E (Tier VII Premium)
One new weapon
- Qader Medium ranged ASM
Other changes
- Mirage F-1EQ: moved from the first line to the second line
- Su-35 & Qaher 313: moved to Tier IX
- Saeqeh 2: moved to Tier VIII
- F-4D (2013): unpaired from the F-4E (1968) and paired with the F-4E (2013)
- MiG-29: now specified to be the (9.12B) variant instead of the A (9.12) variant
- Some aircraft used different images in the new TT iteration from the old one
I am going to plan on showing off the weapons loadout by using the WT custom loadout options to see what weapons Iranian aircraft could use so you have an idea on what it would look like
Good!!
Almost forgot
here are the rough drafts of the weapons loadout for the following aircraft
Azarakhsh
Simorgh
Saeqeh
Koswar
Note: Due to all the new weapons and guided systems that the Koswar utulizes the Koswar only has 1 20mm and there is a chance that the sole 20mm may be removed for additional weapons systems ontop of that however i cannot confirm this
F-4D (2013)
F-4E (2013)
If i made any mistakes in terms of the weapon loadouts please let me know
Finally I was thinking of a subtrees to add to the Iranian Air TT mainly due to how small it is, however there is not a lot of options, let alone good options to choose from since Iran typically sides with smaller paramilitaries or states that prefer using drones over conventional aircraft leaving only realistically leaves us with 2 options, Ethopia and Libya. Ethopia mostly for their ties to the Imperial Iranian regime and the fact that the current regime does buy weapons and weapon systems from Iran and Libya mainly due to diplomatic and shared geopolitical reasons. Though I’ll let the Iranian playerbase to decide on that
Was it bought before the revolution?
Post revloution
Iran brought the Tucanos immediately after the Iran Iraq war from 1989 to 1991
Iranian Airforce F-5F with a rocketpod loadout
I will also begin to add in a tab for skins that Iranian aircraft can get
If you’re trying to create / demonstrate unique loadouts, you could include some of the weapons they tested integration with on the F-4/F-5.
The R-60 may be the R-60MK since Iran has them in stock and used them on their other aircraft such as the Su-25K and Su-22’s for example
what about the ability to use the I-Hawk missile like during the iran-iraq war?
Speaking of Hawk, there is another unique indigenous munition that could be added, for F-14s.
Very good find. If there is other vehicles that utilize it please let me know
HECK nah, we don’t need more copy paste. China and Israel were bad enough
Is there any images of the F-4E carrying the Fakour-90?
This is indeed PL-7. Training PL-7s were colored in orange
Hence why the F-4E (2013) is not going to get PL-7’s especially considering that there are other, better and more versatile missiles out there anyways such as the PL-5’s family and PL-8’s
The PL-7 can appear on Iranian aircraft though such as the F-7’s for example
A few aircraft can use the Farkour 90, the MiG-29 is one of them, the Su-24 is another
I still yet to run into images of F-4’s with the Farkour 90 however some sources does state that F-4’s can mount them after the modifications were done in 2013. There is a image that exists of an Iranian MiG-29 testing said weapon.
I probably need to go back and make a new version of it since i found yet another weapon for the F-4 as well as Iranian F-4’s using external laser pods
