Yes, I’m not sure how long it takes for most things but I remember it took my SU-25BM around 1 minute to get it’s bombs back, my B7A2 homare 23 can recover a 800kg bomb in around half a minute

For the MiG-29N it says access to R-27’s and R-73E’s but it looks like on the image it has the BVR RVV’s. Devblog might need some tweaking.

R-77s/RVV were only a recent addition in the last few days and its radar may also change.

The blog was written in advance before the feedback from the inital dev server regarding a wish to see R-77. With the renders generally collected on the day of publication.

But its covered at the end :)

Please note that vehicle characteristics are still in development and may change before release

Thanks for the info, I hope it’s finished in time for the update release.

If it helps I’d just like to say that the “confirmed” (technically STA-1 is unconfirmed, but it can be assumed as mirrored from STA 7) four outer stations with LAU-7 would likely be enough for the practical use of these missiles in game, so there’s no specifically pressing need to consider the inner stations as well.

Spoiler

Station 7 with AIM-9L on LAU-7 launch rail, mirrored loadout can assume Station 1 as well




Station 2 with P5 CTS on LAU-7 launch rail, mirrored loadout can assume Station 6 as well

For the type of missile I’d say AIM-9M shouldn’t be an issue so long as RVV-AE aren’t, especially since it’s already on the Hornet (Malaysia went from AIM-9L to AIM-9X iirc) and they’d make sure it is used alongside the existing set of missiles at least by some players

Is the name for the AESA Typhoons final? “Typhoon (AESA)” whilst Descriptive is clunky. “Typhoon FGR4 (P4E)” would be more accurate.

Report for it if needed

No long wait this time

You ignored my question the other day about this but can you or one of the devs explain why they choose a prototype Gripen E model over the actual Gripen E, or at least change the name to relfect the older model.



Both of these are the 6002, as we can see the 6002 first got the extended wing modification, hell even the later images of the 6002 with IRST have the leading edge flap

Can we expect the devs to redo the model correctly before live or no?
