Lixma 06 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Why? Well, you've got the VTOL bit nailed so simply flying around and landing on things you ought not to will be great fun. And compared to the AV-8B the avionics are much simpler; no MFDs, FLIRs, Lasers or any of that stuff. Also when the new Kuznetsov model arrives it would be a perfect marriage. Yes it was a bit crappy in performance and payload but so what - it's such an interesting subject. Sometimes a bit too interesting.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dehuman Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 +1 Fit nicely into the upcoming Afghanistan Map. Worth noting they flew from Kiev class cruisers not the Kuznetsov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myHelljumper Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I don't know why or how but I have a big interest for this aircraft. Also, it would fit the Caucasus map very well because the aircraft-carrier/missile-cruiser Kiev was based in Crimea and the Yak-38 was designed to operate from this class of ship. And the ship is a gorgeous cold war contraption :D Helljumper - M2000C Guru Helljumper's Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCK3rTjezLUxPbWHvJJ3W2fA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarraceno Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I would get it, its pretty unique, yes, useles AF, but interesting anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDieing Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I'd prefer an aircraft that was actually capable of doing something ''Greed is a bottomless pit which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction.''

seagull1606688860 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 +1 would buy it for some cammanist svtols Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harlikwin Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 While I think it would be cool, there is laundry list of other aircraft that I'd rather see first. New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog. TrackIR, HP Reverb (formermly CV1) Old-N-busted: i7 4720HQ ~3.5GHZ, +32GB DDR3 + Nvidia GTX980m (4GB VRAM) :joystick: TM Warthog. TrackIR, Rift CV1 (yes really).

Glimmer Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 YaK-38 was very controversial craft, in most situations Ka-27 was more effective and universal. There are more interesting Soviet aircrafts, which still was not released. :) So... yea, Razbam, pls ignore threads like this.. Су-27 Flanker | Су-30 Flanker-C | Су-33 Flanker-D | Су-34 Fullback | Су-24 Fencer | МиГ-29 Fulcrum | F-14A/B/D Tomcat | F/A-18C/D Hornet | F/A-18E/F Super Hornet | F-16C Fighting Falcon | F-15C Eagle | Eurofighter Typhoon | Tornado IDS | JAS-39 Gripen | AJ/JA(S)-37 Viggen | Rafale | M-2000 Mirage | Mirage F1 Ka-52 Hokum | Mi-28N Havoc | Mi-35M Hind | Mi-24P Hind | AH-64D Apache | AH-1W SuperCobra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratos Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 That would made for a pretty interesting aircraft, and used in combat in Afghanistan in the 80's. My support to it. I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Кош Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Two dumb rocket pods. 4 Yaks may go as a single Su-25. Cool. Compare with, say, MiG-27K - supersonic all weather night precision strike.

splash Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 IMHO is a useless aircraft. Unable to take off in vertical in Afghanistan with 2 bombs or with no bombs at all. Much better a MiG-27, Su-17 or Su-25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeriaGloria Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Hey it would be fun to pop up from FARPS and shoot down blue jets! Also can carry anti ship missile unlike Su-33. Its range and payload was also increased by doing rolling landings and longer takeoffs like Harriers and F-35Bs. Maybe not enough for a full module, but would be awesome AI to play with and add more red variety.

MiG-21 can operate from short dirt strip with RATO. ППС АВТ 100 60 36 Ф < | > !
