YAK 141 armament update

From the day the YAK 141 was added to War Thunder, several changes happened in the game, such as adition of new weaponry and such. As so, when this plane was firstly introduced, its complete weaponry setups werent yet in the game, mentioning the R77. My sugestion is simply to add the r77, r73 as well as the air-to-ground guided armament it carries. Such update wouldnt add anything new to the game as all the armament that belongs on the yak141 already is in the game and would let this plane be more competitive against the top Br´s. Of course the plane would have to be moved to 13+br, anyway, would be a really cool change. Also, as it already has TWS mode on radar, it would only make sense adding the R77 to it, as i didnt find any data on its radar, other than the MIG29SMT radar is a variation from the one on the yak141, there might be 2+ DL targets no?
This plane deserves a Buff.

New armaments for the yak 141 could give you a funnier and more diverse gameplay.

exactly!

No. Yak wasn’t carrying any armament in real life.

the point still stands, its intended armament is already in-game, why not add it to the plane?

Because you can’t prove it won’t spontaneously combust the second you put it on the airframe.

There is 0 proof the R-77 was even wired to work on the airframe or the pylons.

There’s zero reason to move Yak-141 to 13.3+ with R-77s when Mig-29K can be added instead.

@Offenbanch
So you want Ho-229 and Kikka removed from the game…

Such addition would make the Yak-141 a 13.7 BR aircraft, and that would force you to adapt to a Gameplay you’re not ready to.

The current 12.7 is pretty easy on the Yak-141 currently and simply because F-16A’s exists.

The Yak-141 doesn’t requires any upgrade for now.

good point on the Ho229 XD.
Would the mig29k be added as a sucessor to the yak141?

I consider Mig-29K as a successor cause it is a naval aircraft the Russian Navy used instead of continuing the Yak-141 project.

I’m also one to go against weapon systems that go far beyond the airframe of the aircraft, especially when it’s the only airframe.
Right now Yak-141 is a good 12.7.
With R-77s it’d be a pretty bad 13.3.

ill have to agree, but at least the r73 should be added, the r60 kinda lacks on 12.7…

R-73 makes it 13.0 minimum, 13.3 after decompression.
Just use the R-27Ts.

Yeah, yeah, give it the R-73, and give it to the MiG-29 too, so they can finally stop terrorizing '70s-era planes.

Why not? Either everyone gets paper vehicles, or no one.
