not even the C and F have it?
nvm, thats sad. most F-111 fuel dump videos are C’s since those were the last to go lol
Seriously. Whats the point of developing an entire new mechanic only to add it to a single aircraft and one that wont even benefit from it. The Harriers or other VTOLs could actually make full use of the fuel dumping mechanic to drop their weight down to allow for VTOL landings.
The F-111A getting it and being the only aircraft to get it just because its one of a few that show off the fuel burn trick at airshows is kinda dumb.
Would have been far better to develop fuel dumping and give it to everyone, maybe even with no visual effects and then go back and add the fuel dumping visuals + fuel burning mechanic, not the other way round.

no, the vfx are necessary

where have I seen this one before, oh wait right for the F111A with MAWS
For what?
The important part is just getting rid of excess fuel if needed. the potential benefit from WW2 heavy fighters or even bombers dropping down below 30% fuel to harriers and co being able to drop down to VTOL weight beats out any possible visuals of it.
And if developing the VFX means its limited to a single vehicle in a single nation. Then it was a bad decision.

@Smin1080p_WT Since on the updated dev notes would the C-3604 be a pre-order or a standard pack released after the update ?
it looks cool
Yeah…
Stay tuned to the news next week. More info to come.
I hope so even though I highly disagree with it being a premium, I’m still gonna get it lol
Anything on the IRIS-T SLM missile speed reports?
As its the weekend, there will generally be little news to provide on report updates I’m afraid.
The time to target’s report remains open: Community Bug Reporting System

Hey, Smin.
About the MTB-460 that’s coming. Last I’d seen it had the British as operator; however, as far as I can find(from asking around and looking up), it only had Canadian crew and served the RCN. Are there plans to change the operator nation before it hits live?
Hey.
As far as im aware we have no reports on this or internal suggestions, so a report would be welcome with any evidence to clarify that. We can pass it for review for consideration then.

Thx for your reply earlier, speaking of reports, are there reports on the Su-25TM (Su-39) missing air to ground weaponry? there are pictures showing the aircraft having access to more weaponry on some wing pylons, it is currently missing options for two Kh-29T/TE’s and two 8 Vikhr ATGM pylons.
Due to the aircraft’s nature primary and secondary sources are difficult to come by.

There are suggestions for KAB-500L, Kh-25MTP, R-27R/ER/R-77 and increased numbers of Kh-25, R-60 and R-73. But I cant find any suggestion reports for the Kh-29 family or additional Vikhirs.
that reminds me, are there any news on the R-27R/ER for the Su-39? the thing even flew with them and it is a real shame it isn’t able to take them in game as it severely hampers it’s ability to defend itself in air rb

For the time being, its not something planned for the aircraft anytime soon.
Thx for your answers, i’ll go report the missing armaments, have a great one!

Just give up on it. Su-39 is not fun to play and it isn’t going to be given things that make it more fun.
It’s just going to sit there with the basically pointless radar. Anyone who disagrees should be sentenced to using the tws gtmi mode for 300 matches.
I was so excited about it coming to the game, but now I just accept that it’s over and will never get better.
It will all be rejected because BR reasons.
