Look at F-20 or F-18C early model man.
F-20 is one of my favourite plane and was hoping to recieve as tech tree vehicle but in the end Gaijin made the worst decision and made it premium vehicle.
I had to pay real money to get my hands on F-20 even tho i already had entire Us Air tree at that point.
Yeah that sucks and i understand your pain… I would unironically do the same with the mig29m because i love that plane even though i also have the entire soviet tree researched…
My biggest fear for that is the Su-37.
That one is my favourite Soviet/Russian jet and if somehow ended up bein premium i might have to buy it, even tho i already have entire tree like you.
I thought MiG-29S Could carry R-77s, no?
Ur right! It indeed can
Here’s a full list of what it can carry.
That plane would probably sit at 13.3 or something like that
My hope is that 2x142 kN engines + Bars radar + Canards + TVC will make it top BR in the upcoming patches and therefore can’t be made into a premium 🙏
Doesn’t AL-41 was usual non TVC when tested on Su-27M2?
No radar but limited WVR Air-to-Air Missile only ?
Or add MiG-23MLD (23-19) to early rank VIII before MiG-29, but could be 12.3
Depends on version but yes. In version UB it can carry 6x R-73 and in version UBM it have expanded armament on the R-27T/ET. Both version still have IRST.
iz. 23-19 is another option. But practically it would not be much different from the current iz. 23-18 except for the R-73. 23P would be more different and there would be no risk that it would grow in BR at the moment the radar was fixed as its practically MLA without air-ground weaponry (except Kh-23M).
MiG-23-98 with R-27 and R-73
And R-77, but it might catapult it too high (still, would be fun to annoy 4th gens with upbeat 3rd)
I don’t know, Su-37 used the Al-37FU
Internal or pod cannon ?
Without R-27R & R-27T ?
None R-27R & R-27ER only ?
I suppose might be MiG-29 (9-12) and on group with MiG-29 (9-13). light airframe like MiG-29 9-12A & 9-12B but early service limit WVR R-60M Air-to-Air Missile
Retain Klimov RD-33 and N019 Rubin radar (MiG-29 9-13)
With the addition of the PKVP-23s, as the total number of chaff/flares was brought up to 72
Sapfir-23P / RP-23P radar and R-23R/R-23T
But re retrofitted Sapfir RP-23MLA radar and R-24R/T air-to-air missiles, no IRST and a HUD display (MiG-23Bis)
The PVO operate MiG-23P & MiG-23Bis did in fact arm them with Kh-23 air-to-ground missiles only
MiG-23P might researchable tree on MiG-23 group or the first premium golden eagle ?
The first variant with R-77 for soviet/russia tech tree
But pre R-73M IR Air-to-Air Missile service ? 🤔
Internal cannon.
Only R-27T/ET. No SARH variant as it doesnt have radar.
Countermeasures are questionable. It doesnt have them irl but thats not a big deal as Gaijin add flares based on posibility to mount them.
For the MiG-29UBM only ?
Both MiG-29UB & MiG-29UBM ?
Both have internal cannon and only UBM have R-27T/ET.
