I swear if they put him outside the tech tree it’s the right time I’ll headbutt the table

OK I did a quick search
The V3C was a local development of the French R550 with a local seeker head.

A greatly improved version of the short-range V3B AAM, it was cleared for use with the Mirage III, Mirage F1 and Cheetah aircraft. The missile is linked to the helmet-mounted acquisition system which allows the pilot to lock the missiles seeker head onto the target well outside his aircraft’s axis. It is comparable to the AIM-9L Sidewinder. Using both contact and laser proximity fuses, launch velocity is the aircraft’s speed plus 600m/s. It can be fired against targets within 15 degrees of the sun, and in look-down mode.

Produced from 1986, the Darter has a larger-diameter fuselage when compared to the V3B, gimble limits were increased to 55 degrees and incorporated shorter reaction times and a laser fuse. Lead bias was optimised from 20 to 160 degrees by using a colour guidance system to distinguish between aircraft and decoy flares. The Bush War ended before it entered service in 1990, but was still used by the Impala Mk II. Further development of the Kenron V3C ceased in favour of the larger U-Darter.

it’s like the Bulgarian, Yugoslav flag found in the files at the same time as those

Sweden never used the AIM-9M, so they never had a reason to give it a designation.

Never did the SAAF, but oh well

The Italian Italy mains will probably lose their minds
It is like introducing the J-10 without a TT equivilant

I never said it did?

The impalas would be something cool imo. Perhaps as a TT equivilant to the strikemaster.

I can sell it then considering hot it is able to redeem itself after the buffs yet a lot have gave up on the grind already

That would be cool, to see

If they only give Magic 1 then for sure. Guaranteed it won’t get 530D because the radar can’t use it.

Hey @Smin1080p . Any information from the devs why Leo2A7V has worse armor that the STRV122 (not even equal)? I know it is subjected to change but i gotta ask before and after the release.

COIN aircrafts in game may be questionable at first since their IRL roles involve countering, well, insurgents who have a few stingers ar best as opposed to every enemy thing able to bite back in warthunder. However if we put them to the BR of superprops and early jets between 6.0/3 to 8.0/3 i dont see why they wont work.

I should’ve asked for the V3B and V3S and not the V3C.

Arguably it is the 530D, alongside with a lot of factors such as flight model, radar/rwr etc that seperated it(M2KC/M2K5) from the F1.
I suppose even keeping these magic 2s wont be a huge deal.

You can always suggest them later

Gaijin pls. Santa pilot model for the Christmas season.
Yes, it’s historically accurate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LLGaOpwHGM

Your argument is invalid

That would be a cool winter event tho dogfighting in sleighs with stingers
The game is won by filling the enemys stocking with coals(bombs)
