Su-33 CAS loadout

[pappavis]

Using shepski's realistic weapons mod a Su-33 can be outfitted like this:

and ?

Now you have to ask yourself:

 

Would it ever be?

No. (Conflict with its assigned role)

Could it ever be?

Sure, assuming you have a runway, not the kuz (the real thing would likely plunge into the water trying to take off with this payload, OR end up taking so little fuel onboard that it just wouldn't be worth it)

 

Of course, you'll never feel the burn until it's AFM'ed ;)

Take off with little fuel then refuel in the air, I know US Navy jets do that.

[Fjordmonkey]

First throughs: Cool!

Second thoughs: That's going to be like driving a pregnant, drunk yak :P

[Yellonet]

This mod makes it possible to hang bombs on the A-10 that is in the way of the gear.... realistic?

OKe, it was only a "it can be done" thingy, besides a Su33 with that many bombs looks kinda cool :icon_supe.

Taking of from the Kuz is close to impossible coz i have to put fuel at 30% and then still end up in the water often. Possibly with a future AFM it wont even make enough speed for takeoff from the Kuz.

Cali suggested a reasonable alternative, except for one problem ... you either have to fly in a Midas from afar, or use half of your 33's as 'buddy tankers' to give your attacking 33's any semblance of a reasonable range, heh.

Su-33's in lo-mac doesnt feature buddy refuel (yet) :rolleyes:.

Just set-up a tanker or 2 to fly in a loop pattern.
