AI Mig-29K, KA-31 for some better Russian Carrier ops?

[carss]

Can the addition of an AI Mig-29K and/or Ka-31 be implemented in the near future? I know we may never get a flyable Mig-29K unfortunately but at least an AI so we have something to fly with, and a Ka-31 with radar surveillance so there is some Russian Carrier based AWACS that we can rely on?

I agree ! Especially an AI MiG-29K

Yeah this and a AEW helo would be cool. Even if AI.

Both would be super cool, and since MiG-29K was included in Flanker 2.5 sim (I don't remember if it later made it to LOMAC) I hope it will reappear one day in DCS 2022 and beyond

Well, from what I understand/been told the 29K from flanker 2.5 wasn't really remotely accurate so while I'd love to see a FF one, I don't think we will. As an AI asset though a multirole 29K would be cool of the Kuz or the even cooler if someone added the ex-soviet Indian carrier that operates it.

The Indian carrier would be awesome.

Hell, it'd be nice if these planes could also be placed on the Nimitz class carriers. I know it's not exactly realistic, but if they can land on the carrier, I don't see a reason why they can't spawn on the deck, even if they'll require a bit of a long run-up like a WW2 era fighter on an Essex.

I mean if it does get added only 2 countries would operate it being Russia and India and it may even encourage ED or someone to make an Indian Carrier as an asset

The external model was good. The cockpit was wrong supposedly because they couldn’t get information on it as I understand. I would love for it to come back since it was part of the family. Note it was a 9.31 not 9.41.

You are right, we should aim for the AI MiG-29KR

I know. I want that on the Kuznetsov.

I’d love a Mig-29kr but I’d like to point out since AI aircraft use a SFM, and we have all the files for the 9.31 on the Flanker 2.5 cad, and most of our AI assets date for different periods of time anyway. Why not just restore it? I’m don’t let that stop anyone from making more modern AI units, but why not just read this to the game as AI?

Yes I agree and restoring it as an AI entry should be pretty straight forward, but whether 9.31 or 9.41/9.47 we would need a new 3D model......I doubt anyone would be happy with the fidelity of the old Flanker 2.5 3D model in this day and age :)

I'd love the MIG-29K in any form.

Not bad see them to expand russian and Indian carrier operations, and ED implement a "russian" ground crew style operation (that last can be a problem, no free sources of Soviet, Russian crew operations).
