Yak-130

This is a 1996 plane. Ofc it would have a lot of stuff. The problem is - it’s on the 9.3 BR, where the planes from 1960-1970 currenly located.

The 4 munitions are fine, especially since they’re only KAB-500’s, not as good as Walleyes.

And when the A-4E Early has 2x Walleyes and 3x Bullpups which can be sniped through the TV camera from crazy ranges, then 4x KAB’s is fine at 9.3

1996 Yak-130 looks different though

This is entirely irrelevant.

Yak-130M carries the more comprehensive attack suite, MAWS, RWR, thermals. Not just the countermeasures

Means higher BR where the flares are required

Don’t compare fire-and-forget and SACLOS, c’mon.
“Only KAB-500’s”… lol.

What SACLOS?

Sure, bro

The Walleyes have substantially better flight performance, can glide crazy distances.

KAB’s drop like rocks.

*MCLOS
Manual command to line of sight

MCLOS from extreme ranges using the 14x zoom on the Walleyes. Lets you precisely aim them from insane ranges for MCLOS, extremely powerful

I see no problem in the GRB. Each time YAK gets in the air it kills at least 3 targets. Obviously no issues with the flight performance.
What I’m bothered with is the absence of the same armaments in other nations. I want to use the same strategy as USA/russia does.

Whatever. 1 of 100 would use that.

They’re missing out then, not the plane’s fault

Make suggestions then

this is the yak-130m and it only first flew last month

The Yak-130M has been an ongoing modernisation project for quite a while now since the Yak-130 (improved)

That’s the final configuration

Yes, that’s the game files. They plan on using it for the upcoming later variants

  • Add AS30L Nord to the Milan (France, 9.7)
  • Add AGM-65B to the Hunter F.58A (Germany, 9.3)
  • Add the same KAB’s to the MIG-23BN (Germany, 9.7)

Idk what would fix the Italy though.

Yes, that’s exactly why those things where not added, Russia already has Su-25s covering that CAS bracket, they where lacking at lower BRs (5.7 to 10.0)

Israeli TT A-4E Early (M) has 3 TV bombs (2 of which are Walleye extended range), 2 AAMs and CM/RWRs
