layne_suhr 0 Posted September 2, 2008 Hey guys, i was always wondering what aircraft will they have to counter the F-35 Lightning II, i think this aircraft would be a perfect solution since it is a VTOL aircraft and it would be perfect for the small army type guys on Chernarus. It was cancelled but since it's a game set in the near future who knows what could have happened.... the YAK-141 Freestyle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakovlev_Yak-141 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pauldarrington 9 Posted September 2, 2008 thats one of the main things they havent really shown yet and that is russian fixed wing aircrafts, surely they must including a few, and yes i agree the yak 141 would be a nice match up to the f35 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwarden 1125 Posted September 2, 2008 to counter F-35 russians will simply mass out Su-37 and Su-34 instead of vasting several VTOL prototypes ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stakex 0 Posted September 3, 2008 The YAK-141 was cancelled 17 years ago... and you want them to use it to counter one of the newest and most advanced combat aircraft in the world? I don't think thats going to work too well.... However, Im sure there is some Russian aircraft out there that could be added into ArmA2 (thats actually in use today, and not a very old reject) that could, at least for the sake of gameplay, be made equal with the F-35.

NoRailgunner 0 Posted September 3, 2008 Nice if BIS are going to make some of those popular MiG29 variants or even MiG-35? Su-35 would be nice too... I dont like 1:1 fictional gameplay balancing its like having the same vehicles & stuff on each side - only differences are color/camo and model. If ArmA2 is close to simulation there wont be too much balanced stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
layne_suhr 0 Posted September 3, 2008 I totally agree, i was just throwing the YAk out there... I think a SU-47 or Su-35 would be great to counter the F-35 as theya re new and have the latest russian technology, if only they had F-22 in ArmA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
straubinger82 3 Posted September 4, 2008 Generally the good old russian ladies are all great and I would love to see some of them. Su-27, Su-33, Su-37, ... my list never ends... And I don´t want balanced stuff too. Asymetric war is celebrated out in the world mostly I think. The statement of Maruk to the F35B was very funny. Something like "yes, the F35B is actually not in service... but we love it". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Commando84 0 Posted September 4, 2008 I dunno I think the yak would be cool to see! I haven't seen it in any game before so it would be a special feature really! Its sometimes unique stuff in games that draw people into them aswell and gets them to stay there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EricM 0 Posted September 4, 2008 To counter the F35, they would probably just use a dozen tungunska... When you can't beat them on their own turf, you use a different strategy all the way. "If you want to beat Bobby Fisher, don't choose Chess" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
