Gaijin really refused to add the F-111K Merlin, but somehow the Su-47 is fine

Hey. It is true according to the very source originally


used in the report to change the weight:

Hence the conflict. As mentioned yesterday, additional reports with new / additional information are more than welcome.

This was not decided by the QA/Tech Mod teams, but this was the decision taken by the developers.

what reasoning did they allow the SU47 in even though it supposedly never had arms

It 's not:

Yak-141 is an unfinished prototype, meaning that while the Yak-141 prototype was incomplete (in this case unarmed), it is added zhe way a finished Yak-141 was intended to be.

Su-47 and EAP aren’t prototypes of a combat aircraft, but standalone demonstrators. So in this sense they are complete, just not armed, meaning they couldn’t be added.

Or at least that was the exanation before the Su-47 got “guessed”

We didn’t refuse any suggestion for the F-111K at all: General Dynamics F-111K Merlin: The Vark goes British

Something being suggested however does not mean it will be added.

does this mean stol MTD is on table ?

If you mean allow it to be suggested, this has already been answered today: Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion - #3188

Im not sure why everyone is getting so excited over a suggestion topic being passed. This happens every month and is not an indication that something will come to the game. It just means its been passed for consideration.

It was a demonstrator too iirc, with no intended service version, so for it to be on the table it’d need to be armed. (Unless we get Su-47, then I guess what matters is if it maybe could be armed, intended or not)

But if it was I’m all for it, the US tree could use many more of their more experimental aircraft to balance out the heavy exports found in other trees.

i mean there all built on vehicles that had weapons it only take some minor retooling to weaponize them

If the MTAV means we can get conformals/2 seat on a US F-16 im down lmao

Hell the MATV flew with sidewinders so it’s not too far a stretch. (Although dummy missiles by the looks of it it’s still more than the Su-47 ever had).
