What the heck is a Su-30MKI-2 and why would the Su-30MKI be 14.7?
If you were going for the Super Sukhoi, I’d get it, but the regular Su-30MKI is not 14.7 material lol
Also, I’m fairly sure the MiG-29UPG and K would be better than the MiG-29SMT, so they should realistically be 13.7
The HAL Tejas as an event plane is just peak, I can absolutely see that happening lmao
I think something like that could work (albeit the devs would need to put work into it) for different blocks.
Instead of having to grind out the same plane but with slight differences you could choose the block and the systems/weapons/BR would be adjusted to what you choose but limit it to the same model. So F-16A/B you would be able to change between Blocks 1->25 and the C/D Blocks 30 → 52.
There’s a lot of weird stuff going on here… why out of all planes would you make the Tejas event? What variant even is it? Why are there two Su-30MKIs? Why is the LUSH Sea Harrier not called LUSH?
Yeah would allow so much diversity without a ton of copypaste
It’s hard to read, but I believe it says Sea Harrier FRS.51
Just a second MKI I chucked in because it’s something I can see Gaijin doing after they run out of ideas.
Yeah I pretty much just blanked on the BR’s and put any old thing in since you can’t leave it blank.
Yeah Tejas as an event reward and the FRS.51 as squadron. All domestic/British modified designs go outside of the TT and the Russian bought aircraft + Rafale as the researchable additions.
The 51 is originally just a FRS.1 with magics. Only the upgraded version is 13.0 worthy, and that’s the LUSH upgrade
That’s true, but unless they plan to add both an early and a late one they don’t really need to add the LUSH part to the name
Can we not normalize locking unique planes behind events please? Also 14.7 would be the lowest version if they add early/late versions, as the early MKI was basically a SM
I’ll be honest I made that in like 5 minutes I just remembered the FRS.51 and chucked it in.
Was more of a joke really but looking back at it it seems like something Gaijin themselves are probably planning.
Understandable
And the Cheetah and ZA Mirage F1s just flat out won’t get added, coz Gaijin just can’t be arsed to add South Africas planes lol
Just 1 and done with South Africa air. Unless they do decide on the Cheetah, Mirage’s or even the Mwari but chances are like India the C&P will be in the TT but unique designs as premiums / event vehicles.
Will they be adding in Meteor’s, IRIS-T and other capable missiles for Rank 9?
They will in the future but I don’t think those will come along with Rank 9 next update. More likely those missiles will come in the summer update.
They likely are going to be adding AIM-120Ds, AIM-9Xs, R-74s/R-74Ms, R-77Ms (edit: probably not a R-77M, as I just remembered how questionable that one currently is lol, dunno if the R-37M could even be considered a counterpart to the AIM-120D tho) and whatever Chinese missiles that would be equivalent at some point this year, but I don’t think the first update this year will include those
Later on they’ll add the Meteors, IRIS-Ts and the other state-of-the-art missiles
(Or they just go for the best stuff that is being used IRL from the get-go without proper balance lol)
PL-10, 15 and maybe PL-17 if they wanted, since its in datamine for the J-11B iirc, the 10 and 17 were
the F-117?
Do you all think that concepts like J-35 J-36 J-50 will end up in the 9th rank? Also, regarding Rank 9, how do you think they will implement autonomous wingmen style aircraft? Will we be able to fly multi-role drones, and will they give them the same G-force penalties as manned aircraft?
imo what would be better is the premium one being base su-30mki (su-30k, basically a two seat su-27 with spo-15 and only r-27ers, no fox 3s), and the tech tree one su-30mki in the modern configuration with it basically being a copy paste of the su-30sm and mkm but with some israeli and french avionics like mica, derby, etc
this image makes the difference between the 2 obvious, with the blue one being su-30k (notice no canards and spo-15 antenna) and the grey one being the modern mki
