Su-39: R77,R27,R73

It depends on the buff in my opinion. Some I think would require a greater BR increase others would need none. You also have the option in June for the Split BRs, which means it could move in 1 gamemode, but remain in the other. So maybe it could get R-27Rs and move to 11.7 in ARB but stay 11.3 in GRB.

They could be waiting for that. Either way tho I hope the SM3 isn’t DOA and actually gets some decent AGM’S

That does seem to the mostly likely addition that would come with it. with the Buc S2B + Martels (gunna be intersting to see what those are like) they might be doing a round of new types of weapon systems

KH-25MTP and KH-29D should make it pretty good, especially at missile jousting SPAA

What BR do you think the SM3 be, I think it really depends on what it’ll get access to, potentially lower than the Su-25T/39

11.3-11.7 at best, also depends on if it gets R-73/74 or not.

I reckon it could be a case of quite different BRs for the aircraft.

Like 11.3/11.7 for GRB but 10.7/11.0 for ARB. So it might suffer for the first 3 months in ARB until the split BRs come.

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.
