Hello I was wondered which aircraft to create as main (first) front line fighter.
I need some ideas and suggestions which aircraft will be good for this position.
Thanks a lot

[Axel of Sweden]

Id say the Flanker ,

Sky Blue

6 missiles

can be upgraded with Thrust-vectoring
that adds canards to the model and improves the jets manouverability

SU-25 as a ground attack jet

starts unarmed and can be upgraded to mount various weapons on it,s wing pylons in a similar fashion to the helix.

Hmm. I'd say the Su-33 Mk.II as a air superiority fighter. The MiG-29 as a allrounder that carriers both bombs and missiles. And for the ground I'm suggesting the Su-25 Frogfoot aswell.

Su-33 is russian navys main fighter and operates from aircraft carriers

the airforce operates su-27,s

[mig31]

I thinka that can be light front line fighter and heavy front line fighter
MiG-29 Fulcrum = Light
Su-27 or SU-30 = Heavy
Oh i almost forget, what about mig-31????

Like I care, I suggested it because of the canards... And I dont think I need a lecture on Russian aircraft since I probably know more about them, then you

[Alexei_Stukov]

After many searches and reading I decided to create as a first Russia airplane Mig-31.
The to most used fighters in russian army now are mig-29 and mig-31, and SU-27. Because of that many mods are adding mig-29 and I'm planing to create as advanced planes Sukhoi models for me mig-31 sounds like good variant.
If you want to discuss my decision please feel free to do it.
See you soon

Good choice, maybe add the experimental Su-37 in as a late game Air Superiority fighter? Needs some kind of technology center to be produced, but seriously r*pes any aircraft that are in its way.

[Alexei_Stukov]

That I'm planning. Su-47 Berkut will be advanced stealth fighter avalible after build tech center for all weapons systems(generals) Su-37 will be avalible for one of the weapon systems. For the rest I didn't desidet yet.

Hello friends, I want to ask you about your opinion.
Is it a good Idea to create main skin theme for most of russian fighter. Just to be with a little bit touch with rest ground units?
Or I should continue with different skins ( brown-yellow camo for SU-37, sky blue camo for su-30, black for berkut and so on)
I really need your suggestions. I know in reality color depend of mani things such as specialization Air to air fight flight over sea, ground, high altitude flight and so on. But I'm creating mod it is more important pleasure of gaming and good game visibility.
Thanks guys.

Personally, I'm a fan of uniformed color schemes.

[Alexei_Stukov]

You mean All planes should gravity around close colors and themes?

[Whitey]

Yeah. Not exactly the same, but similar, so they might look alright flying in squadrons/groups.

[zatev]

The problem with uniform skins is that they will all be "look-a-like", so if you wan't to be helpfull to the gamers I'd to choose for every aircraft it own skin.

[Anubis]

I think you should keep the brown/yellow theme for assault fighters and the stealth-black for stealthier planes such as the berkut. That way you don't end up with a hippie color show.

[Shirou]

I'd vote for different skins when it comes to aircraft. Different aircraft usually have different purposes and operate alone or in groups of the same aircraft. Therefore they don't really have much to do with the other aircraft, and they can be unique.

It also just looks better.

[Dauth]

I would say since this mod is keeping the units fairly realistic that keeping the original skins would make sense.

[partyzanpaulzy]

Berkut black, MiG-35 green-khaki, Su-37 yellow-green, eventually some plane starting from a ship like Su-27 in blue variant. :wink:

[Alexei_Stukov]

OK thanks guys
