It’s advertised for Su-30MK models, but that’s about it. That said, still more proof than the MKI derivatives like the SM/SM2/MKM are, which Gaijin insists to keep.
Also China needs better CAS, and this would be the exact same situation as the Su-30MKM which also filled a CAS gap with a weapon newer than it that was never used by Malaysia.
yeah, its similar dog water reasoning with the underperforming r-73 max lateral g load. Plenty of primary sources pinning it at 60gs, and even declassified uk evaluations putting the single plane lateral acceleration at 45gs, yet in game it is only 40gs cause why not, then reports on it are sitting on accepted for 2 years
at least for the su-30mk variant that the chinese air force got doesn’t list kh38 in it for its weapons (KNAPPO su-30mk, not the irkuk one)

Yeah, neither do the SM/SM2 or MKM. It’s very questionable reasoning no matter what, but at least the MK model is listed as platform for it.
Personally I think Gaijin will probably want more nations to get it, so I’d expect to see an Su-30MKI for India and Su-30MK2 for China with it sometime next year.
they wasted the paintball theme too, there’s a APC conversion with Fox turrets which is used for tank vs tank paintball in the UK, but no, T-72 instead lmao
The T-72 event overall is a waste, but I guess Gaijin thinks the USSR/Soviet TT deserves to get three event vehicles in a row
5th gen coming in 2026 would turn this game into something more arcadey than WoWP.
The game is 1% ready for the next gen. Would be as stupid as the Swiss being a sub tree
New battle pass in a couple days as well, lord only knows what will come from that….
tank paintball should be an event icl
copy paste slop, or worthless additions, take your pick
The game wasn’t ready for 4th gen either
Gaijin has been skipping working on important features and mechanics for way too long and I’ve got a feeling that they won’t be working on those features and mechanics anytime soon
They just cannot be bothered to rework ARB to accomodate proper 4th gen (or 5th gen) gameplay
and instead of putting additional resources into doing that necessary work, they decided to hire people to work on infantry
Dunno, the snowball event kind of was tank paintball and it sucked dog eggs
I dont mind the break tbf, Im a lil burned out from the winter event in all honesty. Hopefully the BP is something fun and goofy
im waiting for a an il2 variant with a prototype T-64 because russia needs more event and premium tanks and planes
I just looked at the wikis list of IL-2 variants and I was not prepared for the amount of seemingly identical IL-2s
With any luck it’ll be something with goofy HESH
Wouldn’t it be easier to leave only one nation, the USSR?
No because if you give only for 1 nation, someone will come and start screaming baised.
Solution is simple, limit the kh38 to only su34 and su25sm3 and mkm
Will someone start screaming? Why?
