Problem of horten is that it has ufo flightmodel, which has nothing in common with real ho-229.
Besides, it’s uses napkin engines - jumo 004d, instead of real 004b. Not only were they not put on Horten and not planned, they did not exist at all.
The guns, with a wave of the developer’s hand, planned mk 108 turned into mk 103 which, due to the load on the power elements, would be extremely controversial even on a metal airframe, not even talking about wood.
Definitely would be worth adding the R-77 and R-73 to this aircraft.
EDIT: No way people are arguing that this aircraft shouldn’t get a certain armament it was planned and CAN use when the Iranian tomcat has missiles it couldn’t even fire and incompatible with, that being the R-27R.
The Iranian F-14A does not have weapons it couldn’t fire that would increase its BR.
R-27R is a sidegrade to Skyflash.
False equivalence fallacy, and still not fully proven it can’t fire them.
If and when its proven, it will be removed.
I have no idea what you’re on about, I don’t care if it got a br increase or not, I believe this would be a extremely fun and potent aircraft with R-73 and probably R-77.
The Yak coupled with thrust vectoring and being able to flick it around when someone is trying to one or two circle you is amazing, with R-73 would make it better.
