It’s basically a Canadian improved version of the American Mk40 FFAR Mighty Mouse, was equipped on the CF-104 Starfighter and on the CF-18, (edit), and on some British jets and Helis

if the photo shows a regular l-39, it will be useless in the wartunder. Aero L-159 ALCA is needed

Only if Russia can have a little phantom action, and is that a Mirage III I see in there too?

More like it was equipped on every Canadian jet after they entered service, as the CF-116 also has them. Huh, the CS2F’s also have them. And I found the CH-135s having them. (basically, we put them on everything we can. Too be fair CRV-7/CVR7 does stand for: “Canadian Rocket Vehicle 7”

bro is allergic to the idea of fun

100G load IR missile with dual-channel image seeker? On a British TT aircraft? Ludicrous, such thing will never happen, at least to to Britain.

We already have strikemaster in game and this is better than it so I think it would be fine

as far as i know the l-39 carries 2 100kg bombs, in what way is it better than the strikemaster with 4 540lb bombs?

Side note: The 11th of November this year marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of PLAAF. The Z-19E may get a discount. Not saying its the optimal choice, if you own ground premiums or talismaned vehicles just use them. It is however somewhat adequate as cas even in top tier.

If you take the base variant then yeah, but there are a lot of upgrades with a lot of diffrent capibalites

Can you show examples of such modifications?

There are also upgraded iterations such as the L-39ZA, coming with 2xR-13/R-60Ms and a decent load of bombs and rockets. It was the version that was featured in DCS world.


Edit: total payload up to roughly 1.3t per 1988 sources. Further upgrades the L-39NG operated by Czechia, Hungary and a few, and L-39M1 by Ukraine.
