Mig 21 Bison missile payload?

When might the mig 21 bison get its r77’s / rvv-ae’s? I am aware of the current balancing of vehicles with active radar missiles at lower br’s. I understand it hasnt recieved these missiles at its current br but since the premium su30’s were added with their r77’s i feel like theres no excuses now, especialy since the bison with its pitiful payload can fight these su30’s in uptiers. I would suggest upping the bison to 12.7 with 2 r77’s or 13.0 with the tandem r73 mounts as well.

r77 will be 13.0 min. the only ARH missile that is being set below that is the agm54.

Moving it straight up in BR

gaijin here’s your chance to have two W in a row

dynamic BRs (based on installed mods)

nah that would be very confusing

It will be probably a nerf, not a buff. 13.0 bison sounds like a torture, even with r77.

You mean this?
I don’t know why people haven’t voted it to the moon … instead they whine about loadouts, BRs and balance ALL THE TIME.

Not at all. They can make explanation in the mod and even mark it in the side of the loadout you create so someone can track it real time.
It’s not that difficult.

And what’s funnier is that this isn’t even going to be exclusive to air as well, we could also apply this for certain features of ground as well, with certain munitions being excluded from a vehicle’s loadout due to balance reasons within their br bracket, implementing this sort of system can allow the vehicle’s BR to be raised or lowered depending on the type of ammunition ,equipped" with it being unavailable to be equipped in battle once they’ve entered at a lower br for example.

All of this is easier said than done of course cause it will affect hundreds of vehicles and the game balance in general and future additions because the devs would have to test out multiple br brackets for every singular vehicle with this feature, so I’d expect a rollout plan for this to be akin to what they’ve been doing with custom loadouts except probably twice as slow. I also am concerned that they may not even be planning on adding this kind of feature at all because of the addition of the Mig-29 9.12 just so that the Mig-29 9.13 can have R73 missiles, which is a whole other and more than not identical vehicle to the latter that just doesn’t have the ability to equip R73s.

“Surely Bison with ARHs will be more balanced!”

The humble F-15E and ARH Hornets:

That would be a huge Gaijin L.
Banning loadout changes in-match would be horrific. [The consequence of dynamic BRs]

The only thing they could do is implement loadout restrictions like what DCS has so they can restrict vehicle weapons in matches.
