Sukhoi Su-17

Will really love a Su-17M4. Who knows, maybe one day!

While id of course push for more modern redfor aircraft like the mig 29 from everything I've read the Russian government won't do anything newer than the mig-23. Because razbam is already making the mla version my next push would be the su-17m4 purely because it would be one of the newest Russian aircraft that we could probably get in full fidelity. It also offers a fairly decent multirole capability. In my opinion it would be a great addition to dcs.

Glad to see many others care about this bird. Gives me hope...

Just thinks its one of the key aircraft we need for RedFor otherwise its mostly just interceptors.... (In fixed wing) as Russia don't really have any dedicated ground pounders except the su-25. Su-7 would be nice but something more modern first

Su 17M3 or M4 would fill a huge gap in RU attack planes. It would also fit quite well to already existing as also upcoming maps. I'm sure it would be a hot seller.

Aside of that I think there is quite a big community in DCS which prefers ground attack planes over fighters.

I'd love to see more red air anything. I'd rather a clicky SU-25A, but a SU17M4 is fine by me too.

A clickable Su-25 would be heaven!!! But that doesn't mean, I wouldn't wish for the Su-17 :smilewink:

SUKHOY SU-22

COKPITH

Great videos! Now I'm hyped :cry:

The cockpit is similar to that of the Su-25T. Especially with the Shkval TV and the SPO-15 RWR. Man, I would love to have this module...

Agreed, I would love more complex red air! It also has a lot of gauge community with the MiG-29A, so if it ever gets allowed it would benefit the development there too

Su-17 would be a dream. Perhaps even better than a full fidelity Su-25. Whilst the Su-25 can bring a lot of bang and armour to an engagement a Su -17 can get there in a timely fashion and more importantly leave in a hurry.

+1 for the SU-22 would buy it without a thought.

Su-7BM, Su-17, Su-22, and for some variety, an Su-15. And yes, I'd pounce on a full study Su-25.

Su-22M4 is one of my dream airplanes in DCS! Maybe some day ;).

Awesome videos!

+1 any version Su-17/20/22 would be very welcome and a first day buying for sure.

:thumbup:

I would also love the SU-17, Su-22 or Su-24, as many others in my squadron.

Any rebuild from Flaming Cliffs 3, clickable cockpit, would be very welcome, specially SU-25 :music_whistling:

Honestly I would prefer the Su-24, preferably done by Heatblur using their Jester AI. Maybe they would call it Yuri AI :) However since that is highly improbable a Su-17 or a Su-22 would still be highly desireable in my book.

Me too. However I remember some time ago an Su-24 was planned and denied due to restrictions. I can't recall if that it was planned by ED or a 3rd party. I hope it will work out as Wags stated in the latest Alert 5 podcast, that the DCS portfolio of Eastern Block aircraft gets reinforced by 3rd partys since they are not affected by the russian government. However, it will be difficult to get the required data

Combat use of the Su-25 attack aircraft in the Chechen wars (summer, autumn)

Su 22 export version of Su17.

Few things I would like to see in DCS for REDFOR:

Su-25 clickable. Even if the A, but if it would be T then nicer. If a SM2, then *drool*.

A Su-17/Su-22 of course a Su-22 moder version would be great.

And primarily a Mig-27.

Su-24

But then again, what aircrafts Soviet Union had otherwise for ground attack?

The Su-17 is IMHO so special kind that it would nicely fit to be first ones to get out. But I don't know would I buy it, as I am just turn away from its looks... Don't know would I ever grow to it like I did with Mig-23. First years I thought that Mig-23 is ugly has what. But today I think it is one of the most beautiful aircrafts. Yet, I have not changed my mind of Su-17 at all.

Off-Topic:

Btw a good point here again about the airfields conditions to on previous hot topics that should an fighter get stuck if their wheel even slips away from the runway:

It was then claimed that the unpaved areas are so soft that fighters gets stuck or damaged etc. Regardless that airfield structural designs were shown, videos about Mig-21, Mig-29, Su-25 etc rolling easily on the unprepared fields etc, and now again Su-22 that was "too heavy for a fighter".

as per latet Wag's interview all russian modules are proihibited for them.
