(ID) Sukhoi TNI-AU Su-27SKM: The Java sea flanker

The Indonesian sub tree for air has so many options. Thailand was a bit underwhelming (they forgot the WW2 aircraft and the WW2 surplus aircraft 😭) Anyway the Su30 in game is one of the best planes I played at top tier so far subtract there are aircraft with better radar.

There maybe a way. (Eurofighter had a Japan Project parts possibly built)

an ultra-what if, but considering the swedish T80U, not even impossible

Basically Su-27SM with Su-27 engine :v
I’m much prefer this over Indonesian Su-30MK2/MKK which we already got 2 ingame.

ahh that one you mean, i checked it and the what-if looks promising, but unless proof of actual built-in is found, i’m afraid it will not go far

can tell you by experience :)

Yep but its the best possible option and we already have something similar added with the same logic the F-16J but ya the Japanese tree is going to be one of the best with the export projects and the sub trees if Gaijin goes all out.

i know but it’s not a good example, that one like MI28A was added for lack of similar vehicles in that update so it isn’t a good comparision, swedish T80U was literally useless and not needed at 11.3 BR with zero lineup vehicles, T80U is a better example

going on, i support the comment, it’s interesting

Sadly not. This was basically just proposing the latest Eurofighter at the time, essentially the same model that Saudi Arabia ended up buying for example. None of it was specific to the proposal for Japan or developed for Japan.


It was also a blatant mistake, even if Gaijin won’t openly admit it. They added it assuming it was prototyped and flown by Japanese pilots. Only from players Gaijin learned that the prototype was an unrelated YF-16A Sparrow testbed that was already over by the time the F-16J came up, making the F-16J itself only a paper proposal.
They still didn’t correct most mistakes in their devblog and QnA they made for that aircraft, so a lot of their misconceptions are still there.

I don’t think it’s a good measurement for future additions.
