My only real complaint with the Soviet radars is the scan/refresh. The acquire targets fairly well. I know I certainly would have more kills with the R-77 if the missile performed better kinematically.
Would a radar upgrade be nice? Yes. Is it as big of a deal as the R-77-1, in my opinion, no.
I’ll be entirely honest. I’m hoping for both the Swiss F/A-18C and the Eurofighter Typhoon Tranche 1 Block 5 come to the game this patch so Germany can MAYBE have a shot at getting:
The main reason for me is the 2nd point - better CAS.
At the very least the EFT T1 Block 5 would get access to LGBUs and not be an entirely useless platform (unlike the Tornado).
The question is whether the Swiss Hornet will come with AG munitions. I am well aware the Swiss did not buy AG munitions from the USA, but we have the MiG-29G with R-73s and R-27ERs. So, I think the F/A-18C would be Germany’s best chance at getting semi-competent CAS.
I also highly doubt the AG capabilities of the Swiss F/A-18C were removed. The AG capabilities of the Finnish F-18C were removed and it was explicitly called the “F-18C” instead of the “F/A-18C” to reflect that fact. I’m in the copium camp that subscribes to the idea that Switzerland just didn’t buy munitions and that the Swiss Hornet could get AG munitions. (Let me cope, okay).
If anyone has any info on the Swiss Hornet’s AG capabilities please let me know. I do know they never used AG munitions, but whether the electronics within them were removed is what I am curious about.
Mig29g could use r73 and did historically even in East German service. same with the 9.12a though.
No
Yes, and also the damn thing is Russian, so it’s slow, lol.
Except the PESA radar on the Su-34, thats probably the best radar in game at the moment
Yes. It’s been quite nice. I’ll know how it runs R-27ER’s soon.
Removed R-27ER1/R-27ET1 from MiG-29 9-12A, 9-12B and 9-13 too
R-73/R-73E to replace R-60
DEU Eurofighter Typhoon before Legacy hornet (CH)
So Legacy hornet might delayed
But I don’t know might be EF-2000 Tranche 1 Block 2 or Block 2
Daily mission.
hopefully trailer thursday though. will hold onto that last shard of hope
I want a 13.0 Su-33 for christmas
keep on 29G tho
With the canards that shouldn’t work but do, and gaijin’d R-77’s?
? Su-33 would be 13.0 without R-77s as it never used them
Goodmorning everyone
Well, i just got my whole bug report, stolen. That is something, new…
Huh?
Why did you think I was saying that it won’t happen?
