To be fair, I am quite happy about that addition, even if it is in a tree which I wouldn’t play to get a Hornet

Wow bro gbu 12s or even the targeting pod. Like anyone’s gonna use them over the kh38s anyways. As said in the sukhoi presser su30mkm is almost identical to the base su-30mk variant for the Indians
This thread has turned into whine and complain about copypasta, I’m getting tired of people always finding whatever reason to complain, some of these guys might not even play Japan at all, just noticing this trend a lot lately where people just complain for the sake of it, so what if it is copypaste? Real life is just like that, God forbid the military industrial complex exports anything, if gaijin added nothing there would be complaints, they did and y’all just whine anyway, please and kindly zip it and move on and let the rest of us enjoy it.

So uniqie that theres already 2 other gamemodes that it happens in. 🙄
Which means nothing unless We have multi crew gameplay like F-14 and F-4E in DCS

yes, but its a fair point that it is at least a unique model.

If it was only purchased armament the MiG-29N would use only R-73E, R-27R1 and AIM-9L. I wouldn’t know about the Su-30MKM entirely though.
So the unique avionics, midair refueling and longer lifespan engines don’t count, fair enough. But what should count is the N019ME radar these were fitted with, which makes it the only aircraft in game to use it, as well as domestic integration of LAU-7 missile rails for AIM-9 and P5 CTS.

Yeah GBUs will be niche, but the targeting pod and MAWS / LWS will be useful even in game.

Does those matter in game? We don’t have that stuff modeled in the sense that it actually matters. It’s basically just a g model with r77s

Aside from visuals (or just module text for the engines) no, that’s why I brought up the radar and missiles instead.

It has always been a thing and it always was kind of problematic. It is getting worse with pretty much every update…
For high tier planes with IFF these additions are tolerable, but in tiers that require visual identification this is getting out of hand.
I don’t play Sim a lot myself, even though I love the gameplay. Having to rely on the ally identification feature in ground and on ally pings in air can be extremely annoying and usually puts the player facing mirror match-ups while using vehicles that are only available in one side at a disadvantage.

Yeah, it’s why I usually stick to brs over 10.7. Having to visually id is a pain the arse, much rather have the radar do that for me.

Mauswaffe these whiners are not 1 bit ready for the F-35 (currently 8 out of the 10 trees ingame will get one or 2 variants each) and China nearly had the door open for it with Singapore too, Korea was confirmed and that too will get one, sheesh can’t wait for a quadruple dose of whining

How is it represented ingame?
same as on others
As i recall it has similar model engines. If they changed some insides that is not represented ingame…
Poland’s a pretty likely tree as well, so make that an even 10 F-35 nations

This is just false. There was no chinese player whining that he didnt get an abrams when it was added to the US tree. There was no Japanese main crying out thay they needed Soviet aircraft in their TT.
This game was better before gaijin gave every tree another trees top aircraft. Other than the F14, Yak141, J10, Rafale, and SU34, there is no unique top tier aircraft. Literally everything else is in more than one tree.

Visuals in the cockpit mainly
Yeah the SMT uses the same system iirc. It was even developed with the Malaysian order (but was offered as option before that on customer request, so I wouldn’t entirely say made for Malaysia).
They function the same, in game only the name changes.
All of these are things unique on the real aircraft, but won’t do anything aside from visuals in the game. Unless they start to add functioning cockpit avionics, midair refueling or engine wear.
There’s still the radar and weapons for gameplay relevant changes (even if the most unique weapon is missing)
