Interesting, I never knew that mockup IS-2M/KV-1s were also built for film use.
Peak engineering right there
Perfect for disposing of pesky LDIRCM helis
Make a suggestion about its missing armament! Maybe we will get it ingame!
went to the Dayton air museum a while ago and saw this
Spoiler
Absolutely massive
MiG-31M. Proto vehicle. 13.7 minimum solely because of acceleration + top speed + new radar with look-down capability (finally) + missile kit. 6 R-37 + 4 R-73, or 8 R-60 (apparently) but no guns like the MiG-25PD. Ideal (initial; but I hope for exclusivity with MiG-31s in general while Flankers (Su-30SM2, Su-35) get R-77-1/M only) platform for R-37 introduction.
I paid for entire Su-30SM2 so I’m gonna use fully capable Su-30SM2 which includes R-37M.
In Community update #8 they stated they’re working on “new top jet aircraft” for China and the way it was worded its implying multiple aircraft.
We’ve so far gotten the J-10C. C&P SU-30 doesn’t count.
So for the upcoming update what aircraft would you guess will be added
- J-10C late
- J-11BG/B late
- JF-17 BLK3
- J-15 (OG one)
- Nothing
I Purposely left out aircraft that would be fitting for the current 14.7 environment because Gaijin will never stop gimping China and the given options would practically be C&P with minor adjustments
Whoops meant to put this in the R&R but oh well
24 countermeasure monster
realistically would be 14.0 - 14.3
but gaijin would have to give it fictional L-150 rwr for that, it was planned but only spo15 was installed sadly
Not listed, but probably J-16 as well.
J-15 is nice, but it covers roughly the same role as the J-10C. J-16 also gives the Chinese a much better domestic multirole platform. Not quite the KH-38 equivalent slinger (there really isnt anything like it, tbh), but they do have extensive stand-off capable weapons to be used on it.
who needs countermeasures when you have speed comrade
ehhhh maybe, I was truly low balling it with 13.7 lol
Well it was a prototype so it’s all end of the day up to Gaijin… Could be SPO-15… but L-150 wouldn’t hurt
i find AC-130’s goofy but which variant do you think should get added, If any?
- AC-130j Ghostrider
- AC-130u Spooky II
- AC-130a Spectre
- Nothing
Armaments
Ghostrider: most modern AC-130 with one 40mm and one 105mm
Spooky II: predecessor of the AC-130h with one GAU-12 25mm, one 40mm, and one 105mm
Spectre: the first AC-130 armed with two 7.62mm miniguns, two vulcans, and two 40mm’s
su30mk2 and su35 in china tree wil get kh38 for sure
MK2 maybe (if its even bothered with, minimal difference from MKK), Su-35 definitely
well even if the mk2 dont get it, i think it uses the same avionics as the j11b who has pretty good cas in the game.
