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.
Are you being serious right now?
soo, where are we gonna see it?
is it just gonna be test drive eye candy?
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.
It’s so clear that you have 0 idea what you’re talking about and pay no attention to the military happenings of the Russians from like the 80s to present. The Su-33 has been on continuous deployment for literal years. It is not at all obscure.
Nothing obscure about the Su-33. It is the navalized Flanker. It has no Western equivalents.
If Gaijin wanted some Flanker variant as squadron vehicle filler they could have used something the Su-27UB or an early version of the Su-30.
Not exactly a big deal.
Why the hostility? Have a calm discussion.
