[2021] MiG-27M and guided bombs in War Thunder!

A lil somethin somethin: You can find the details for this event on the announcement page here.

An excellent fighter bomber aircraft in the Soviet tech tree and a new type of smart weapons are coming to War Thunder!

The MiG-27M is a top attack aircraft in the USSR aviation research tree and one of the few attack aircraft with a maximum speed of Mach 1,8. At the time of its appearance in the game, the MiG-27M will become one of the leaders in terms of the number of available sets of suspended weapons. In addition, with the appearance of this aircraft in War Thunder, we will introduce a new type of aircraft weapons - guided aircraft bombs units, or GBUs. But first things first.

The MiG-27M is a further development of the MiG-23M, already familiar to War Thunder pilots. Despite the increased load and general adaptation of the airframe and theengine for more confident operation at low altitudes and subsonic speeds, the MiG-27M quite confidently accelerates to a maximum speed of Mach 1,8, while maintaining excellent climb rate. A variable sweep wing and an effective air brake make the heavy and powerful MiG-27M a very maneuverable aircraft in its class.





The MiG-27M is one of the main features of the upcoming update “Direct Hit”, which the War Thunder team is currently working on. Update coming soon, stay tuned for our news!
