Yeah, but we can still hope for some generousity.

Yeah, i thought i saw a picture of one with AGM’s under it…
That’s the point though. There was never a single F14d that even carried aim120. The only f14 that did was the f14a. To give it a weapon it never used is completely unhistorical.
I mean yeah they could just make up planes and add them to the game too. Why not just make stuff up?
Because it’s not the Same situation
We already have stuff like the IRST on the YaK-141 which falls under the “planned equipment” rule. Not to mention all the equipment shared across aircraft from different nations because “so long as it could carry the equipment then it being in a nations stockpile isn’t a requirement” such as KH-38 on all the Su-30’s, the gunpod for the Alpha Jet TH and AN/APG-69 on the Swiss F-5E.
So why not give the F-14D AIM-120 as again it’s clear it was planned for it to be integrated and was very close to being finished.

That’s kinda the best/worst example (depending on the point of view) currently as its whole loadout and avionic was just “planned” but never flew or let alone used AFAIK.
does this mean i could make an excuse for the mirage 4k getting micheals (micas)
Simply the information thus far has not been sufficient to show it actually was.
Then if I may ask Mr.Smin, Is the sole reason for Su-25SM3 (and for that matter, Su-30SM/SM2/30MKM) having Kh-38ML/MTs because of the brochure or is there another source that the public doesn’t know about?
Gripen E has both Brimstone and SPICE. There is no footage for either on Gripen. Yet it has both due to offical sources.
Since I’m assuming those “official sources” are the publically accessible brochures, how does gaijin differentiate between “actually operationally capable” weapons and ones that aren’t?
Because as far as I know there isn’t proof that says JAS-39E has the “operational capability” to use Brimstone (SAL)s and Spice-250/1000s.

I think that the Mirage 4000 is a separate case since it had armament. The Yak-141 had zero armament but was a planned fighter so it gets all of its planned armament and avionics. If you can prove the Mirage 4000 had planned capability for MICA then maybe? But even then its down to balance. Using the Yak-141 to get Mirage 4000 MICAs won’t work though, they’re different cases.
^Don’t take this as official confirmation of anything, I don’t work with the technical team or devs
i dont think i could because while im 100% sure it was planned to have micas the radar on the prototype variant couldnt fire them so its an unfortunate thing, but i wish it could.
(dont worry your better than both)

Then I don’t think you’d be able to see it. The Mirage 4000 got its avionics and armament already, I don’t even think it used 530Fs outright either. In that case it’s completely different from the Yak 141 that was planned avionics and not actual avionics.
Spoiler
If only it lasted a little longer.
I’m kinda sad how much shade Yak-141 gets tbh… Like yeah some of it’s electronics are rather dubious due to the program being canned before a production model (Ie, HMD, IRST, CMs) but at least one prototype had it’s radar and gun… I’ve seen too many people say it didn’t have a gun or a radar.
So the more planned a plane is the freer they can and will choose its armaments and avionics if they want to add it? Oh boy, that will be fun when and if they decide to add the Su-47 for example.
its the soul reason i despise the french for not going through with the mirage 4k project it would have been so amazing
your yet to add a bmpt or deny my streetfighter (cough cough smin) so your cool /s
(my mistake for the shade Smin your a community manager not a tech moderator)
if the mirage 4000 project lasted like 4-5 more years it would most likely have seen micas
rest in piece

The avionics were obviously outlined, the armament is what was also planned iirc so its not nearly as outlandish as suggesting an aircraft supposedly incapable of using MICAs to get them.
As much as I love the Streetfighter, if the Brimstone launcher was a mock up then there might not be much of a reason to add it*. Sorry ^^
*Most of its upgrades iirc are more awareness upgrades, which in WT we already have much more awareness than any tank crew could besides external communications.
Issue with that is the Su-47 wasn’t planned to have anything to begin with. It was built as a tech demonstrator for the backwards wing design and to test an internal weapons bay for use on the Su-57. As far as any info on the Su-47 goes there was no plans for any avionics (radar, rwr, CM’s) or any weapons or even hardpoints for weapons.
For Gaijin to add the Su-47 it would have to have a completely fictional avionics suite and armament. It’s far outside the realm of “planned equipment”. Out of all the “planned/unfinished/mashup/paper” vehicles we have or have seen in-game the Su-47 would be in a completely new category of make-believe.

The brimstone launcher was a mockup but it could still be added as a working thing ingame as a cool factor (and its not like it would be the only thing in the game that didnt work irl)
uh dude? what about that cool asf ladder on the side /s
Spoiler
anyway be quiet about the streetfighter or ill have Smin at the end of my bed with a machete
