I wonder how many employees voted for their own game with this one to win that award lol

@Smin1080p_WT sorry to bother you, but can you maybe look into these reports
IT keeps getting closed as not enough information, but the reports and sources says that missile did have the ESSM booster on the AMRAAM-ER itself which increase the range up to 60km

Mate… SM2 is a carbon copy of SM1 with slightly better avionics and, at best same radar but with greater range. It also got compatibility with modern A2A missiles (namely R-37M), but we do not have it in game anyway

(I dont want to even go over “as strong as the Rafale” because it such a cope I cant even)

my god the hawk is such a bad plane to use

premium wouldnt make sense to me since japan already got the F-2ADTW very recently

Squadron would make more sense to me

Was the mig-29n/sd a 9.12 or 9.13?

seems to be a 9.12

Nice, so nice light flight model on top of it potentially getting r77s if gaijin decides to (never had them in service but incompatible).
Not the fatter 913 or 919

the difference between the 9.12 and 9.13 dosent matter too much

I swear, Snail is on a quest to NOT give Russia/USSR a good MiG-29 variant

That’s true, though I’ve never actually played the 9.13. I’ve only played the SMT which was utter garbage and the 9.12 which didn’t feel like the worst plane of all time like the smt felt

It has a new irbis radar and Al-41F1S engines, also it can carry R-77M. Don’t know what will decide about loadout, but those engines with the radar it must get, because it has them.
Here is just a small reminder of news

I hope it’s techtree. If that line is supposed to be a Malaysian line there really isn’t a lot of other options to fill it and a premium at the BR seems really redundant next to the F-2 ADTW.

Squadron maybe, but again I feel like if they want to make a Malaysian line it’s needed there. For Squadron maybe a MiG-29NUB could work, with no radar but IRST. That won’t be missing from the techtree line, but would still be unique enough for people to care.

The issue is there’s no visually confirmed Su-30SM2s with IRBIS and newer engines. If engines is harder to spot then IRBIS is easier because its a big radar and it will require a bigger/longer raddome (the dedicated Su-27/etc thread covered and still covering extensively)

So, at absolutely best… same Su-30SM with greater radar range and extra countermeasures

Irl it does not have new engines (yet) and the radar is the same but upgraded, not the Irbis

iirc it should be a 9.12B with refuel probe, english cockpit and AIM-9 capability.

The thing is, he was supposed to get new engines, but he was never seen with them. We searched for photos with the entire RU community, but all we found was a mention that the installation had been postponed until 2025.
