Restoration of Historical Armament for Yak-38/Yak-38M in War Thunder

Lol

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

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

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

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.

Now that I am a proud owner of the Yak-38 and the 38M, I could see the 38M moving up, and being given R-60Ms. Right now, the two planes do the same thing, at the very same BR.

Perhaps the 38M could be limited to only 2 R-60Ms, to avoid being too high in br? 10.3 or maybe 10.0 seems fair.

Not a bad thing. Regular premiums should be a tech tree with sl/rp bonus and not just a better version of the tech tree one.

Not bad, but maybe a bit boring. And technically, the 38M does have a massive increase in thrust.

Maybe but that is fine in my book. Buy the premium to grind faster with the same vehicle that is slightly different.

Kind of sucks when the best version of a vehicle is locked behind a paywall.

I think you have it confused. The slightly inferior Yak-38 is premium, the Yak-38M has more thrust (and potential for better weapons) and is in the tech tree.

You would be correct.
