This is not the same however. Those systems got there because they don’t need additional systems (for example KH-38MT needed proof that it had something prohibiting the integration, which there is nothing saying that). Thing is, the Indians modified their MKIs to very high degrees it would not work here.
Example being rails and western weapon capability. Firstly for weapons like the Derby and ASRAAM being fitted, they need their own rails and therefore also new programming. Same goes for…well practically everything that is not Russian. The Russian MKI did not come with the capability of having them at all, therefore cannot have them (see Finnish Hornet compared to something like base Hornets). “Technical compatibility” would be something which is known does not need changes or is not somehow prohibited to carry them. In this case those weapons are prohibited as they would need additional modifications to have them.
The Malaysian MKM got KH-38s because there is nothing disproving or prohibiting it, with another brochure even saying the 30MK’s could have them
The Finnish Hornet cannot get guided ground weaponry or whatever because it did not get that upgrade/stage.
The same would apply here with the Finnish Hornet. This MKI did not get the upgrades for when it was in Russia and cannot physically and time wise because India needed specific mods from Israel to do that almost 2 decades later.
Not probably, definitely. These weapons are not compatible by default at all, they should not be in this suggestion.
What you’re suggesting here is the Indian Su-30MkI which our lovely Forum Mod Surbaissemaxxing has already made. If you’re suggesting the Russian one, stick to it. You seem to have gotten lost in which aircraft is which. These electronics were not a part of this aircraft, these weapons were not integrated, hell I’m not sure on some but I know for a fact a lot couldn’t even be mounted due to the rails they use.
The logic gaijin has is “Presumed Compatibility”, something that cannot be applied here. Modifications were made the Indian version, none were made to this. This suggestion needs to be altered, an the ahistorical armament options removed.
I don’t think this would particularly stop them if they wanted as we’ve seen some egregious stuff. I won’t change it but I have been working on another armament section.
RVV-SD/R-77-1 also didn’t exist at this point in time so realistically it’d be a worse Su-30SM by most metrics due to N011M not being compatible with R-77-1 by default.
Is there any viable source that the Russian-built Original version of Su-30MKI can also be equipped with Western weaponry, just like how the Indian version does?
Prob Gaijin just shove them up anyway in the name of technical compatibility
While Gaijin just don’t let JAS39C SAAF have AIM-120, though.
Although I’m opposed to the new theoretical section and Indian flanker pics being present at all, this will do.
+1 for this aircraft for the USSR tree only in the state it was in while with Russia. Only in a historical depiction with armament options it could use (and if added will end up using ingame).
Thanks for reminding me about the images, I’ll throw those into the spoiler as well.
Also historical depiction of armaments would be a awesome addition to the game, perhaps we should make a suggestion XD
