The Venom is literally just a modernized Huey. Would be a nice option with basically the same armament as the more modern helicopters but without any of the guided weapons
I was more referring to our “friend” over here about to start an off topic flame war over the 2S38
… Ok🤓
I just feel like there is much more locations and scenarios a HSTVL can be useful than a 2S38.
That -17 degrees of depression vs -5 alone is a massive advantage.

9040C is a better platform with better survivability in exchange for a “worse” gun
the 2S38 literally only has volume of fire over the HSTVL, the HSTVL has it beat in EVERY other regard that counts.
Makes me so sad man. At least I have the 152. And the 151 for TT would’ve been far from a perfect band aid for the 152 wound. With it being 7.5mm only, but event? seriously?

HSTV-L should be better though, the sabot is still missing penetration.

Because afaik there’s no such thing as “Su-27SM2”
Not gonna lie, the designation system for the Flankers is too much for me right now. If the Su-27M is the only one with the Bars radar, I guess it would make more sense right now
I’m really hoping they pull another JA37DI and add the BMD-4M as both a premium and a TT vehicle. If not, we’ll definitely see a thread or two about it… lol

There 100% is
It’d be really weird if they lock both versions of a mass produced vehicle behind a wallet-wall

Here it is,
Not a direct source or the best but it talks about it being worked on adding FLIR system, APKWS rockets, and a chin mounted gun.
Would be really cool to see added in the future. Being a tilt rotor would make it very unique too which is a plus.

it indeed does have more survivability, but it loses in everything else, so
TBF what is Russian air going to get to keep it on par with Rafale and Eurofighter and J-10B?
You are aware how important that survivability is right? The 2S38 explodes if you sneeze in its vicinity. The CV9040C can eat darts due to its spall liners
1 month left and still no dev blogs - gonna be calling it close
Su-27M, idk.
MiG-35?
