Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up and Discussion (Part 1)

It should have one, but at the moment the radar is ACM/SEAM only. No ground capabilies at all. Thats what I find so annoying. Its one of many missing features on teh TOrnado that is already in the game

Unless you mean the naval radar on the MFG then kinda

They gave it R-73 months after its release, so it’s still able to get new stuff. I potentially expect them to try to resell it with the addition of fox-3 even if it’s not right away.

That would be horrible.

What can you do lol

Unfortunately, not much.

Only because R-73s also came to the non TT versions at the same/lower BR and 2x IR missiles is relatively minor for a ground attacker. New Ground attack weapons, even something relatively minor like thermal Tpod could have far greater impact in the long run

I doubt it will ever get R-27ERs or R-77s not without BR increases which is complicated for a premium (heck Britain has been asking for L26 + a BR increase to 10.3 for the Chally DS for a while now, and they still refuse to do it)

Im expecting a second Su-39 to allow for further additions

I don’t, I expect the next one to be the Su-25SM3 then they’ll stop until probably the Ukrainian modifications.

That wouldn’t solve the issue of the best variant being a premium, however.

Which shouldnt come to the soviet TT, not for a long while, especially not whilst the war is active and even then, hopefully they’ll either go to their own tree or maybe a Polish tree.

I just dont see teh Su-39 getting R-27ERs or R-77s not without a BR increase up to 12+ at least. and that is just not going to happen for a Premium

Didn’t someone propose changing the name of the su-39 to su-25tm?

the late prefix, fixes everything

according to gaijin su39 is the export, su25tm is fomestic

that was on release, hardly denied

Depends on how you look at it, the SM3 will be better in a few different ways, better zoom on optics, built in thermal imager, DIRCM.

Ok so what’s the difference between the two?

i wouldnt know

Based upon what I looked at when it was first added and people were calling for R-73s, R-27ER and R-77s to be added to it with a BR decrease…

Basically nothing I think. At least initially. I think over time the “Su-39” continued to get upgrades but the Su-25TM didnt, or something

Su-39 was given enhanced capabilities to be more attractive in the export market.

Anyway. Both need their thermal pods fr

That’s is true, however I would prefer if a hypothetical tech tree version is called Su-25TM.
