@Cpt_Bel_V

I mean it is going to be 6 months lucrative then balanced out

Lol

@Cpt_Bel_V

But anyway, this R-60M/Yak-38 discussion happenned already and it have been denied.

Oh… Well I’d rather have flares than missiles…

[Cpt_Bel_V]

In a Yak-38, yeah i guess you’re right,… and flares would be “ok” for letting it be at same BR.

But i don’t think it ever recieved any Flares

[BillyBobDa3rd]

Yeah, I haven’t been able to find anything saying it had flares either 😞

doesnt really matter when it has enough speed to run down most 9.0s-8.3s and just yolo an r60m at them

Integration of R-60M Missiles: The R-60M, an improved version of the R-60, was intended to enhance the Yak-38/Yak-38M’s air-to-air combat capabilities. Adding R-60M missiles will align the aircraft with its historically planned performance

No, there’s no reason to allow it to terrorize the vehicles around it. It’s fine where it is, unless you want it at 10.7…

And the other problem is gaijin balances by armament. Example the J35A is 9.7 with 4 aim 9B and a weaker engine compared to the J35D at 10.3 both have no flares and the D has a better engind and 4 aim 9J. Historically the J35A carried aim 9J, that would make gaijin bringbit to 10.0 where again, other more capable fighters with flares exist with similar missiles. The Yak is fine where its at. It no all aspect missiles should be below 10.x even without flares.
