Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

Smin, may I ask, why has the Mig-21 PFM Aka SPS/K does not get the Kh-66 found on the russian PFM?
Is there a reason for that?

Yeah, I’m so used to Rank 9 not existing that I mistook that lol

The F-2A ADTW is at 13.0 without any ARHs and most ARH armed F-16s sit at 13.7, so I believe a plane with an AESA and I-Derby-ERs (or Astras, which is supposed to be better than the R-77-1) should be at least 14.0

The FOC should be able to carry Derby/I-Derby-ER and Astra Mk 1s

I seem to have misremembered this, but I was of the impression that the IM got a new radar during DARIN III. As it turns out, the IM apparently never got the DARIN III upgrade and the IS just got fitted with a radar while the IM is being phased out

Prior to DARIN III the IM was the only one carrying a radar (the same radar as the Super Etendard), the IS kept the regular Jaguar nose

Part of DARIN III was integrating ASRAAMs and Astra missiles tho, so either those missiles would have to be left out, or the BR would have to be raised a bit

What was that?
You want a Shilka and a Tor?

A Tor would be nice for GB though… But it should come as an “extra”, not as a main addition.

Its a different modification. There were different subvariants of PFM. The event one added to the Soviet tree was the one with Kh-66 modification. Not all export variants had that capacity.

Ahhh, fair enough then :)
Had hope it was just a Opsie :(

I’d much rather have a Cactus SAM with SAHV missiles
(or even better, a G6 ZA-HVM)

Same for tons of other vehicles that are just easy C&P. E.g. the He-112 for Japan and the PZH2000 for the Netherlands. These things should NEVER be implemented as “main” addition but rather as an “extra” addition because there is a skin for it. C&P should never be a “main” addition. Not even with slight differences.

E.g. a PZH2000 with no visual difference except 30 less horse power is still C&P and not unique.

So please, add the Tor and Shilka to GB, but not as a main addition.

Everyone, but its not easy model C&P or Russian derived (e.g. the entire malaysian Sub-TT or Hungary air).

Ugh

True

just… please gaijin, give me an I-Derby ER…

Tunguska ftw

Right, forgot about that one

Absolutely necessary additions, screw the Arjun, Zorawar, Tejas, Prachand, Rudra, etc

Give me more copy paste USSR SPAAs

Theyve got those cool camos though!

@Smin1080p_WT Do we get any news this weak

next week

I mean considering the f-16i is at 14.0 I would assume f-16s upgraded over the baseline block 50/52 would be automatic 14.0 as well

@Smin1080p_WT may I ask what this answer is?

Because how is a IR-Jammer supposed to Jam the Radar?

Is it now RADARLDIRCM?

It’s just using a radar proxy fuse.
Ldircm doesn’t jam the proxy fuse it jams the seekerhead to where it veers off course which never allows proxy to activate
