Love the MiG21 AG missions, so maybe a Su17!

Hey simmers!

Writing here to sponsor this beautry:

As per the post title I like AG missions with the 21, I feel is rewarding, like landings... so maybe a dedicated attacker from the '70 will be nice in the theater.

 

It might come in different version Su17 and it might overlap the Su25 a bit, but it's different, more multirole (lot of hardpoints), variable geometry wings, has longer legs and speed mach1.7.

 

Probably proposed before, just want to share the idea getting feedback. :pilotfly:

 

Have a safe flight.

I'd like it. Or a MiG-27. One of few planes equiped with GSh-6-30. Has some precision weapons capability but mostly guns, bombs and rockets.

Hopeful not, here from wikipedia :book:

 

On the Mikoyan MiG-27 the GSh-6-30 had to be mounted obliquely to absorb recoil. The gun was noted for its high (often uncomfortable) vibration and extreme noise. The airframe vibration led to fatigue cracks in fuel tanks, numerous radio and avionics failures, the necessity of using runways with floodlights for night flights (as the landing lights would often be destroyed), tearing or jamming of the forward landing gear doors (leading to at least three crash landings), cracking of the reflector gunsight, an accidental jettisoning of the cockpit canopy and at least one case of the instrument panel falling off in flight. The weapons also dealt extensive collateral damage, as the sheer numbers of fragments from detonating shells was sufficient to damage aircraft flying within a 200 meter radius from the impact center, including the aircraft firing.

I have been wanting a Su-17 / 20 / 22 for years now :). Want the MiG-27 too. But I guess I want Su-17 a bit more.
