US’ M4A3-VVSS based Sherman Firefly prototype
Can’t be a standard TT vehicle but, to which nation should it go?
I vote as a event vehicle for US

How about a JU 88-P1 (75mm cannon)
Pretty much a duck with better engines
Or the prototype JU 88-P5 with a 88mm…
Hand loaded so wouldn’t be to crazy right?

Is that 88 'shopped?
Shopped as in photoshopped? Idk tbh, was looking at info on the p1 and the p5 kept getting mentioned. After googleing it, i came across different sources claiming different things. So is the photo fake or even connected the the p5 name? I have no clue. Didn’t put afford into researching what the p5 actually was.
How do you even find these? haha

I follow a couple different telegram channels lol. They’re pretty quick to post new stuff.
wee all have are ways to get info early (or to dig up lost info)
GBU-9, a 3000lbs bomb with the same TV guidance kit as the GBU-8.
GBU-11, same bomb but with a paveway laser guidance kit.
This would be Something to give an equivalent to the KAB-1500

Unless you can find primary or secondary sources proving the MiG-23MLD”G” depicted here received any of those upgrade or had them planned, I don’t beleive it can be added ingame, as I’ve yet to see proof any such systems were added to a MiG-23 airframe.
Additionally the MiG-23-98 cannot be added because it received no upgrades at all, and only ever mounted weapons. It has yet to be proven to have been planned, and is only known as a demonstrated and proposed upgrade that wasn’t acted upon. Would like to be wrong about both of these, but I don’t believe I am.
I would however really like so see a MiG-23MLD “Early” variant with the different wing layout type, and it could encompass the current capabilities of the one we have now. I’d also like to see the MLD ingame converted into a “Late” variant with R-73s and this “R-24M” you mention. Really hope we get it and its expanded upon!
There were four MLDG’s built and the one “Red 37” in the image is the last one.

But do you have any sources to back up the claim they obtained such capabilities? I’ve yet to see any proof that any MiG-23 ever receive HMD, let alone the other upgrades mentioned in the description you mage.
I’ll see if I can dig them up.
Also I wonder if the aircraft is still sitting there, the museum closed awhile ago. I’m curious to see if the two MFDs are in the aircraft.

Not a source but further proof these aircraft existed, but none saying if it had HMD or not, I will keep looking through some of my sources.
