Yak-130

The tech tree A-4E has 3x TV bombs and countermeasures, also 9.3

Nah, its fine, the 4 bombs is the tradeoff for no countermeasures

gaijin has a long history of giving ahistorical armaments to aircrafts just for the sake of balance.

Doesn’t really matter either way, it was added to fill the 9.3 gap. Defeats the purpose to give it flares and R-60s only to move it up with the already existing CAS planes.

They said they’ll add later Yak-130 models with more equipment anyway

As of now Yak-130M doesn’t have any new armaments

Which one?

The tech tree one in the Israel tree

Israeli

Ok, reduce to 3. And add 1 to the American A4E-Early. Also add similar guided armaments to the respective aircraft of France, Italy, and Germany.

Equipment.

Countermeasures, RWR, MAWS, thermals pod

Yak-130 model ingame can carry it, they just decided not to add it, same with the R-73 missile

The A-4E has flares, Yak doesn’t.

Unless we’re also removing countermeasures from the A-4’s, then 4 TV bombs is fine

built in?

In the external ECM pod

The wingtip pods

A-4E has way worse maneuverability compared to Yak-130

That’s one of the tradeoffs

I’m fine with adding countermeasures to it. I’m not fine with 4 guided munitions.

Then what’s the point of giving flares to Yak-130M when Yak-130 doesn’t get flares for the exact same reason.
