The Kfir Canard at 11.3
(It has 2 Aim-9Gs and a Phantom engine, so quite powerful and potent at its BR)
The Kfir C.2 at 11.7
(Has larger Canards, a slightly worse engine, and 2 Python 3s/goofy Aim-9Ls)
The Kfir C.7 at 12.0
(Has the same bigger canards at the C.2, Has the best engine of all 3, and have 4x Python 3s/goofy Aim-9Ls)
The Kfir C.10 (block 60) is the variant proposed in this suggestion.
(It would have a Multimode AESA Radar, the previous variants don’t and only have a Radar rangefinder. It would have HMD, the Derby ARH missile, the *Python 4 (super nutty missile, would be the best air to air IR missile ingame) Laser Guided Bombs and a Targeting pod, a modern RWR, and much more I can’t think of off the top of my head.
It will not be getting the Python 5 when it arrives. I can guarantee you that.
I also have a feeling gaijin won’t model AESA for the time being… I think we even have a PESA radar on the Super Etendard ingame, yet it doesn’t function as such.
Yes, but that’s ground RB. Besides even if the plane only had those ordnance types I have a feeling that equates to about ~13.0 in ground RB or even lower. If it has split BRs this won’t matter in the slightest my friend.
And yes I’ve read the entire post myself, however I skipped the video since when I played it, I realized I had seen it like 2 years ago when I was first researching the aircraft and its capabilities myself.
I also tend not to rely on/pay too much attention to images for info regarding capabilities, as the documentation is a much better/reliable source man.
If you believe this to be enough of a source for gaijin to accept and include, would you mind adding it to the suggestion? Its an improvement over other Kfir variants and probably something that should be made apparent in the suggestion post.
Sure, i planned adding other stuff aswell that ChileanThunder found which will also benefit the Kfir C.10, to be specific, the Block 60, as apperently it can also carry I-Derby, but I’ll edit it now, give it a sec.
Pantsir tracking radar is PESA I think.
Within current radar framework, easy implementation of PESA/AESA radars would be TWS with bit less range, but scans 10-20 times per second. Then if Gaijin decides to model jumping frequencies and wave encryption, they could just display such radar as “?”, as they already backed off from older RWRs not picking up MPRF/HPRF radars.
But it doesn’t act any different ingame as a PESA. The only noticeable thing is that the tracking radar band can only be detected by the most modern heli RWRs, and no plane ingame can detect a lock from it, given just how modern that radar band is.
If memory serves me right, it has rather PESA/AESAish scanning pattern in TacView, blinking beams in different directions instead usual constant radar beam scanning left to right, K band is just another feature of it. And Su-25SM3 got some time ago RWR upgrade to cover K band when snail achieves perfekt balans and it becomes russia vs russia gaming.
As mentioned in the comment above, just because it’s not on the dev server now doesn’t mean it won’t be coming to the game this update. Plenty of vehicles that are still in development don’t appear on the dev server, and sometimes pop up outta nowhere on the live server. Development takes time, sometimes that time extends past the dev server.
Brother, china literally just got the Jeff and J-10 in the same update, both top tier aircraft my guy… so no that’s not how this works.
British got the Sea Harrier FA.2 and Tornado F.3 Late last update, ant the USA got the AV-8B+ and F-15C MSIP II last update, and all of those could be considered top tier aircraft if you ask me.
There isn’t really a limit to what gaijin is willing to add to a single nation per update, never has been.
