P-400 was the Airacobra 1A in Brit service, which was the P-39C equivalent, just with a 20mm.
If RCAF had an Airacobra II/P-39D it was probably a one off, delivered after the RAF had found the 1As to be subpar and reboxed them to send to Russia.
It makes sense RCAF could be given Bell’s next model to evaluate for the RAF, rather than flying it across the Atlantic. In any event it seems they flew the one and only Airacobra II into a tree shortly after delivery :)
R-27EAs don’t exist
Hi @Smin1080p_WT . I do really like the new SAM systems, and the mechanic of the multiple vehicle SAMs. I don’t speak Russian, but I have been told that Bvvd might have mentioned that additional systems could come to the nations that are not currently planned for addition (soo, Italy, UK, France and Russia ?) this update if the models are ready. Is this correct ? If so, I really hope that the devs responsible for creating those systems emphasis on those additions. I’m posting this just to show that us players are really hoping they can pull this off. I really believe it would be better for the overall game balance that all nations receive equivalents, just like when ARH were introduced (not counting phoenixes), because the new systems performances completely change the balance of the game, and it would not be good to create such asymmetrical gameplay. Especially since Italy, along side Israel, is the nation that needs a modern SAM the most!
Technically it does, R-27A got tested on the MiG-29 in 1985 iirc.
@Smin1080p_WT , sorry to disturb you but it has come to my attention once again that israel is lacking their spice air to ground bombs, its a shame israeli air mains have to go through another update with ought local air to ground munitions, is there any reasoning to why they havent been added yet ?
Confirmed that there isn’t one
i am very aware of that, simply a question since gaijin doesn’t wanna fix the drag of the R-77 and R-77-1
We’ll see, kinda obvious at this point
One step closer buddy just seeing ASRAAM in game will be enough
I mean, it probably is coming in form of the CAMM when Britains medium range SAM is added
That’s just a Block 6 ASRAAM with extra steps :P
This major update gaijin test 5th gen infrared for Surface-to-Air Missile before Air-to-Air Missile ?
AIM-9X (Block I) and R-74M worse than other early 5th gen Air-to-Air Missile (such as AIM-132 Block I, MICA IR, AIM-2000 (analog) and AAM-5)
I mean on the Raven Sam system I doubt we will get it next mini update.
They aren’t testing 5th gen IR missiles. They are adding new SAMs.
The surface to air performance of these missiles is not an indicator for their performance when used for their original purpose (as A2A missiles).
This level of missiles on aircraft are going to legitimately ruin the game.
They’re commonly banned in DCS lobbies for good reason.
Someone on test servers posted this. Note that the vehicle is not shown as spaded despite they researched all of the modifications.
Hmmm
Also all Kh-29s now have a M1.0 release limit, that doesnt sound much, until you realize China is the only nation that relies on a missile that the Russian tree phased out last spring, and cant even take more than 6 between the two CAS options. Something has to change here.
Edit: the user discovered its a mistake. That means China is still arguably the worst top tier CAS with a mid-bad MBT. Good job on copying the FN-6 data as placeholder where the SPYDER uses another countrys.
I meannn, it is in some aspects, you can infer the performance of the IRIS-T AAM from the groundlaunched one, will probably be the same for ground launch Asraam.
Yeah it’s strange…
Is Israel only getting the Spyder this update? I was only able to catch a little bit here and there. Wish they could get more than 1 vehicle per update, especially some fun ones.
it’s currently on the dev server for testing.
