They never had them IRL.
Their loadout should be R-73s and R-27Rs but when they were originally added to the game in Dec 2022, R-73s were deemed way too powerful, so they were given R-60Ms + R-27ERs (which I personally think was actually worse)
Now R-73s are established, they could make the swap
GDR, HuAF and Bundeswehr never ordered R-27ER/R-27ER1
But russian air force not retrofitted R-27ER & R-27ET until MiG-29S (9-12S & 9-13S)
But now unlike december 2023 & march 2024
The MiG-29 9.12 and 9.13 had R-60Ms when they entered service. The MiG-29 entered service before the R-73.
About them never having R-27ERs, you know how Gaijin is when it comes to weapons that weren’t used, but could have been used.
They haven’t changed their ways since then, if anything they started doing it more. Just look at the Eurofighters carrying Brimstone 1s.
But not 50% off, so I won’t be able to afford it :')
And I will only be able to afford it 50% off because I already have 23 GJCs from the last event vehicle, so I will only need to actually spend like 12€ lmao
Since MiG-29S (9-12S & 9-13S) til Su-30SM armed R-27ER & R-27ET
The soviet MiG-29UB Limited infrared Air-to-Air Missile only (including R-73), and place before MiG-29 (9-13)
But I don’t know battle rating 12.3 or 12.7
The first aircraft pre-order pack to rank VIII for soviet might be MiG-29S (9-12S)
Gajin ready brimstone 2 for Tornado GR.4 & Typhoon FGR.4 in 2026 or Q2 2027
May I ask what your first language is?
No offense, but I find it increasingly difficult to understand what you are trying to say.
Wait 2 years
WVR & BVR Air-to-Air Missile like Su-30SM2 and Su-35S ?
Gajin ready Su-35 for russian and china 4 or 5 years
Gajin would add Su-30SM2 from russian navy to 1st line, maybe
My money is on either the MiG-29M or some form of Flanker coming as a premium in the next 2 patches.
no rwr alert
MiG-29M seems like a good call, if they don’t go for an older MiG-29 as a premium.
They could even give it a slightly better engine while keeping the MiG-29SMTs BR for another sneaky P2W pack lol
The first aircraft pre-order pack rank 8 for soviet/russia battle rating should 13.0 or 13.3 minimum ?
Well, Id hope for one about 12.3 purely to increase the redfor playerbase at at 12.3/12.7 for SB
Now that it’s been almost a week, what’s everyone’s thoughts on if the whole infantry “announcement”?
As I said earlier this feels like they are testing infantry for when ground forces come for Aces of thunder
Like… its a dubbel edged sword on this one…
Why would they put so much effort in making models for these guns, map, visuals etc…
Even importing the models from other companies would be a very effort demanding job, so there is probably going to be something alike the trailer, but not exactly as the trailer.
Fair enough.
Aces of Thunder is the VR air battles, correct?
Currently yeah Air only but like I’ve said just feels like a test bed for that game
Coolio
I reckon it was a “Marketing Lie”.
I can see infantry being added similar to how the AI infantry was in the event but definitely not like in that trailer. Atleast not anytime soon anyway
