Lets certainly hope everyone has a much better 2021

Comment

If your speaking about the wrong type of bomb (1000lb) then no, but thats not an issue with the Buccaneer. That was an existing issue with that series of British bombs on post-war aircraft.

Comment

Having Kh-66 already make the PFM unique.


The difference being that was Swift F.7s one and only missile and its core purpose. The PMF has far more choices.


Its not ruled out forever, but certainly lets say for now, its not coming.


Again, we are aware of foreign and export use. But this is a Soviet PMF, which didn't have R-13M.

Comment

Yes and in the game environment, it was deemed too poor to even be worth implementation. It would be best only against a blind target in level flight.

Comment

Only this one since it needs a bit more source review:

Comment

An aircraft monument is not a valid source. Since they can often be made of a mash of parts and simply for cosmetic display.

Comment

It was still WIP back then.

Comment

Not quite certain this patch will have a box (as its a smaller one), but we shall see.

Comment

Right now its not. It has Kh-66 and R-3S.

Comment

That is one of the ones requiring more review. As supposedly, it was only on more modern variants than the CBT.

Comment

I have my bingo card ready. I think im probably gonna win within the first 50-100 pages for sure.

Comment

Of the 40 valid bug reports made and forwarded, 35 have been fixed with only 5 remain as they are either historical matters requiring further validation or more complicated matters that need more time.

Comment

This is an east German MiG-21F-13. Here it is with its unfaded paint.



As for the others, they will require proper sourcing to show its a PFM and what you say.

Comment

No we dont actually. Again if you have proof of a Soviet MiG-21PFM with this mounted, please do share it and we will forward it. But so far, there is no proof outside of export models.



If its not 10.0 worthy, then as with all BRs, that can change.

Comment

It never used it at all and at 10.0 with Kh-66 being its main feature its perfectly fine at 10.0. Its an upgrade over the F-13 and joins the MiG-19 below the top variants of SMT and Bis.


The comparison with Harrier is rather redundant as a MiG-21PFM with Kh-66 and R-3S is perfectly starting at 10.0 whereas a Harrier GR.1 without SRAAMs (the only missile tested on a GR.1 era airframe), it would hardly be even 9.3 worthy but has performance above that. Regardless, this is not about the Harrier, but MiG-21PFM, which is exactly whats coming.

Comment

This was posted ages ago by our consultant in the bug report regarding this matter. F-89D also has nothing to do with this topic.

Comment

Again, technically the missile could be fitted. Was it actually ever done so on a PFM is more the real question and why its not being done here.


There is no proof it was ever used.


Right now Kh-66 and R-3S is the most likely configuration.

Comment

Kh-66 is the main feature of this aircraft (intended to be) so its more likely going to come in the correct Soviet service configuration with Kh-66 and R-3S at a lower BR.

Comment

Whatever explanation there may be, it does not really change the fact the majority of sources show it should not have anything past R-3S if we are going with the Soviet PFM and not the export PFM.



No actually as we have already explained, that was an art error. It also lacked the gunpod underneath.

Comment

We already have seen this source and its not enough.
