So my question is why doesn’t the Yakolev 141 get R-73s?
It’s fairly known that it could carry them.

This is that russian bias that you’ve heard so much about.

The relevant report has been submitted and acknowledged, but if you want them to truly add it to the game, it is best to send a similar issue to draw their attention Community Bug Reporting System

Yak 141 was technically never wired to carry any weapons, and was never equipped with anything but dummy missiles
we can give it its historical loadout if you’d like :)

Harrier gr1 couldn’t carry SRAAMs irl and it has them in game it could be the same for the yak141 with r73

You are aware that (assuming it could even carry them) its br would get bumped up right?
At the moment, the Yak141 sits in a very neat spot where it sees a good amount of downtiers, allowing it to fight phantoms and such.
Fixed for you :)

Thank you :)
By a chance do you know if it is possible that the in the future the Yak 141 will get r77s?

As with all missile loads its a balance choice made by the developers, so its always possible.

it did have them ingame (on a devserver, I think.), but they were removed because the US had no equivalent.
Soviets didn’t have equivalent to 9L, they had garbage R-60M, yet they never removed 9L when soviets had garbage R-60M
