Squadron Vehicles: Su-33

But at the moment any plane can arrive at a carrier.

We could always get the SU-25TK from Ethiopia but as we continue it looks less likely.

The SU-33 as a squadron is a god awful idea anyways, iconic vehicles shouldn’t be locked behind a paywall or squadron wall in this case.

The F-117 is the perfect example of what a squadron vehicle should look like

I would like a more engaging game mode with a large map in RB with more objectives so as not to form a hairball

I wouldn’t be mad if it was a premium or event vehicle, because you’d either get premium bonuses or get it for free by grinding, respectively. In this case you have to pay GE for a vehicle with no premium bonuses.

Eh, the Su-39 is the closer one to squadron/premium/event material. They went with premium and they wanted a tech tree equivalent, not a lot of other options for tech tree ~11.3 Su-25’s.

Su-25T as a squadron as well would be like making the BMD-4 an event and the BMD-4M a premium…wait a minute.

Cool! This’ll be my next squadron vehicle because I am close to completing the research for the Jeff!

What N001K makes different from base N001 is the FCS as far as I know. While not supporting R-77s, it supports Kh-41 AShM:

AFAIK ASM was only mockup and Su-33 cannot use it.

The later SU-33s should also have access to the SPO-L150 Pastel radar warning receiver as well.

Su-33 has L-150 antennas on screenshots

Then we’re getting the Late SU-33 which is excellent, Early SU-33s don’t have any visible antennas possibly hinting to the lack of radar warning receivers.

“yes instead of developing the naval jet line for Russia let’s make this iconic plane a squadron vehicle”

Could you add the F/A-18 as a squadron vehicle too? Silly Gaijin.

So you just going to ignore that the su27sm has a better wr than all 3 us 13.7s. It doesn’t even matter it’s all mixed battles at top tier

Respectfully Gaijin, this vehicle should not be squadron, instead being situated after the YaK-141. It makes 0 sense for it to not be in the tech tree, its like making every F-14 a squadron vehicle.

Not really. It would be like making an obscure, alternate F-14 a squadron vehicle, with the other F-14s in the tech tree.

Or even an event vehicle like the F-14A IRIAF.

Well theres still Mig-29kr in the furute

I’m sorry the Su-33 is literally the main naval multirole aircraft of the late Soviet Union and Russian Federation. It is a pure disgrace to put it anywhere but the line of its predecessor the YaK-38.

Not really, its just an old abandoned fighter project put on life support with small modernisations like the L-150 RWR. Not particularly multi-role, or the main anything.

The Su-27S is the tech tree version, the Su-33 is the obscure alternate version.
