Jaktaz Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Currently, the gunpods in the game are gsh-23's with ammo in fat pods hanging from the wings, which are great for ground attack but don't work very well for air to air because of all the drag they create. I would like it if Leatherneck added more gunpod options, such as smaller, streamlined pods that could be mounted underneath fuselage, near internal gun. These would carry less ammo then the Mi-8 gunpods that the mig-21 currently has access to, but they would still allow the mig-21 to compete in a fighter/interceptor role, while giving it the extra firepower to shred bombers. https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjSi7el2rTNAhUN7GMKHcXWBkgQjRwIBw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mig-21.de%2Fenglish%2Ftechnicaldataarmament.htm&psig=AFQjCNHFHhv_9hmptWYNE8uPtVccdXdjYA&ust=1466446310166853 I realize that these were more often used on older mig-21s without an internal gun, but I'm sure that the mig-21 could mount similar weapons.

thesystem Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 As far as i know those are the only under wing pods. They are not for AA but A2G. Yes, those older ones were put under the fuselage cause they had no internal gun what the BIS has. I'd rather have a garmin GPS....

mattebubben Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) Yea the Centerline Gunpod was only used for some of the earlier Gun less Mig-21 Variants and Thus when the Mig-21 got the Internal gun it was no longer needed. And the link you posted Specifies that the Gunpod is on a Mig-21PFM (that has no Internal gun but could carry the GP-9 Centerline Gunpod) And if you look at the list at the top it also lists what Mig-21 variants could use that Gunpod. And the Mig-21Bis could not carry this Gunpod. Since it has a Internal gunpod there are no mountings (or wiring) for the gunpod and also where would the gunpod be placed? as the location it was mounted on the Mig-21s that carried the gunpod is now where the Internal gun is placed.
