Su-39: R77,R27,R73

The split should be a big deal for attackers, if done right, but yeah we’ll have to see. Either way, they usually like to keep dedicated attackers around the BR for ground, never above like multi role fighters

Yep, unless of course we finally get 12/12.3 for ground.

Well two things can be true. The disconnect between air and ground means that we can think about planes in 2 different ways, and we don’t have to find the middle ground anymore.

Yep, im looking forward to the BR drop for many strikers in Air modes.

If any of those get added, but nothing’s guaranteed. High chance it will just be the Su-25T loadouts, minus the vikhrs.

Honestly, I’m opposed to it getting the Khod, R-27s and R-77s solely because it is a premium. If it had been in the tree I think it should have had all of its proposed capabilities.

I’m personally fine with giving it the R-27s (R-27Rs specifically) but I can agree the addition of the R-77 is a bit of a stretch. With the BR for ground premiums being increased to 11.3 I can easily see a 11.7 SU-39 with everything it has right now with a additional Khod FLIR pod and R-27Rs.

Anything better than a R-27R would probably increase the BR to 12.0+ (like the R-27ERs)

Probably 11.7 if they actually plan to make this thing good, but I can still see people preferably using the MiG-27K or SU-25T/SU-39.

For the Su-39 we’ve been through this before but it should be given Khod, R-27 and R-77 with an increase in battle rating no matter if it’s a premium or not but only if they don’t plan to add another variant (Su-25TM) with all its actual armament.

Why ruin its CAS BR with R-27/77’s though?

Can’t it just be a CAS plane?

It already sees top tier anyway, plus the Su-25T exists and will probably stay at 11.3.

Doesn’t see F-16C’s and Gripens currently. And the Su-39 has premium bonuses.

I’m talking about ground RB, it’s a cas plane.

So am I.

F-16C’s and Gripens exist in Ground RB.

I’ve seen plenty of Gripes and F-16C’s in the Su-39, they make no difference

It can’t see them unless you uptier yourself to 11.7+.

The 11.3 lineup physically can’t see 12.7 planes.

Either way, the Su-39 should have access to if not a tech tree equivalent to its armament, no reason to rob the aircraft of its actual capability because it’s a cas plane.

Because people want to keep using it as a CAS plane.

Then keep using it as a case plane, I’d like to have the ability to snipe a Mirage dropping GBUs if I have to.

Trying to turn attackers into pseudo-fighters, the only thing you get is something that doesn’t do either particularly well.
