A bit early to call it DOA when we dont know anything about its implementation yet lol.
I just went off the previous updates on devblogs released on stream day:
- Hornets sting: F/A-18 (3x tt + 1x premium)
- Storm warning: Su-33 (squadron vehicle)
- Firebirds: F-117 (squadron vehicle) + F-15E (tt)
- Dance of dragons: JF-17 (squadron) + P-16 (premium)
- Seek & destroy: Benelux sub tree (tt) + AMX A-1A (premium) + ZSL92 (tt)
- Alpha strike: F-20A (premium) + Raam Segol/Fuji (premium)
So every dev stream day for the last 6 updates has had at least 1 dev blog for a vehicle that you could technically buy.
lol
Čtyřhlavňová elektrická výmetnice signálních světlic EKSR-46 je umístěna v zadní části trupu - napravo ve směru letu. Světlice jsou odpalovány šikmo dolů.
Zaměřovací a fotokontrolní vybavení letounu L-39 zahrnuje letecký gyroskopický zaměřovač ASP-3NMU-39Z se sklopným odrazným sklem. Slouží k zaměřování zbraní.
Fotokulomet FKP-2-2 umístěný na hlavicí zaměřovače je určen ke kontrole výsledků míření jak při ostré střelbě, tak i při nácviku - tzv. fotostřelbě. Pracuje s černobílým filmovým negativním materiálem šíře 35 mm (kinofilm).
Translation: (used googel)
The four-barreled electric signal flare launcher EKSR-46 is located in the rear part of the fuselage - to the right in the direction of flight. The flares are launched diagonally downwards.
Targeting and photo control equipment of the L-39 aircraft includes the airborne gyroscopic ASP-3NMU-39Z targeting system with a foldable reflector glass. It is used for weapon targeting.
The FKP-2-2 photofirearm mounted on the tip of the sight is intended for controlling the results of aiming both during live firing and during practice - so-called photofiring. It works with black and white film negative material with a width of 35 mm (cinema film).
So…looks like it did have them? But not sure how to understnad it even in my own language XD.
Due to flares being named as Signal flares
This is from the DCS cockpit. Im not sure what type of countermeasures it means by “signal” but google just returns regualar defense cm
Did we just at the same time hahaha
Yeah, found that also…so looks like it did had some kind of flares, so that is at least one thing
Yup lol
How many countermeasures does it get? Ive seen the pods look like 4 x 1 stripes, x 4 thats only 16 but pehaps its multi-layered?
No clue. So far just found the thing i posted. Will keep looking
signal flares used on landing. me262 has the same (l39 uses dispensers reverse engineered from me262 iirc)
Any sign of the dev stream yet?
not yet (
yak38: hello
Honestly probably enough to get it flares if the devs don’t give it any.
Certainly more realistic than giving the F-5C flares.
Russian AFM from 1988 mentiones some “targeting and photocontrol equipment” for precise bombing using 50-100 kg bombs and precise strikes using S-5 rockets.
PS earlier variant of course
Can we expect DEV today?
Can we see the live stream of the development team today ?
So…it is possible it will at least have a balistic computer
