YAK 141 armament update

In-game horten has nothing to do with irl horten.

While kikka had no armament.

They are.

Both were planned to be armed with weaponry, and there addition is supported by Gaijin’s rules.

this also applies to Yak-41, it was built and armament was planned, but the project was canceled before armament was equipped.

The only “True” paper vehicles in game are the R2Y2, Ho-Ri (Both), Tiger II 10.5, and the Panther II. (as well as the AJ but that was added as a balancing factor)

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.

That’s the point. If they can be in game to fill a gap, the YAK-141 can too.

Both are functional prototypes.

i’ll rather get a br increase than another boring r27 wielder.

4x R-27Ts as primary armament is only on Yak-141.

the ETS are great but the normal ones are lacklaster, usable but i prefer 2xR73s over the 27s

The Yak-141 can’t carry R-73s…

Wait what? I swear it was planned to (IRL)

Maybe IRL, I’m not too sure but not in game.

It definitely can’t in game, I remember that much

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.

Your post just wants Yak-141 nerfed in BR.

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.

Except it’s not potent.
It’d be the same BR as Mig-29SMT, a vastly superior aircraft in airframe performance.

Yes I’m 100% in favour of R-77s and R-73s though it would mean 13.3.

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.

I suggest asking for these changes in the BR change thread, I just did so myself
