Major Update “Air Superiority” - Rumor Round-Up and Discussion (Part 3)

that too

better radar too? idk not my speciality

Also, friendly reminder that, if 2A7V is to come for Germany, Italy-Hungary WILL be getting this, sooner or later:

Leopard 2A7HU

For me, it’s literally just because it’s my favorite plane. Not for any advantage or progress in the game, literally just because I love the look of it. Main reason I play DCS honestly.

Italy-Hungary

when did Austria leave that?

One thing I’m excited to see is how an eventual F-14D with AIM-7M and AIM-9M compares to F-15 (with the same missiles)

That camo is sexy

Without ARH / early variants:

The Flanker would carry up to 10 missiles with 4 being R-73 and 6 being some flavor of 27s. Plus it would have the Flanker aerobatic coolness.

The Eagle would be a fixed 4 Winder, 4 Sparrow loadout. It would be quick, have good TWR, and good maneuverability. Radar would probably not be significantly better than the competition given WT limitations. Probably not anything game breaking in terms of capabilities.

as long as it is at least 2 patches later and most of the italian options are finished ,i dont mind. Germany can get the VT-EBT II or otherwise known as leo 2a7a1 at that point

That pic goes so hard

My favourite Leopard armor configuration, too!

Leopards without the add-on turret roof armor (like 2A7HU, 2E or 122s) feel weird to me at this point hahahah

One of the few things I dislike about 2A7V.

Hmmm flagged…

friendly reminder i love to tease the hungarians about it currently, the 2a7hu after offical statement of the KND CEO is not able to shoot DM11 lol.

Besides that we didnt officialy see the HU with the side armor on yet either

Neither Zhuravlik nor Sukhar’ (Cracker) are official names of Su-27.
Also Sushka or Sukhar are usually given to Sukhoy planes because of them starting as Su.
@someweirdname
Although Zhuravlik (the bird) is name given by pilots.

It is also uncertain wether it got the modified gear ratios, meaning it might accelerate even slower than a 122B.

Does it matter? No.

2a7a1 looks rather nice.

ik there are no official Russian names for them, this is why I asked for Nicknames
