It seems RAZBAM have picked up new members for their team and they come bearing MiG-23MLA and MiG-19P models.

Damn it. I just saw it on their Facebook page and was excited to share it here but of course Vampyre's already all over it.

I'd say Razbam is officially my favorite 3rd party developer now. I like Leatherneck and their Fishbed is second to none, I'm sure the Vig will kick ass and the Tomcat will be one of the highlights of our lives, but Razbam just gets shit done (and done well) without the hype-train bullshit. No stupid fake taped-over wedding videos with obscure references to dates when more obscure shit buried in an overly-processed video that doesn't really say much will come out. Just a nice and simple post of some renderings saying "Hey, we're also working on this. Maybe out in a year and won't slow down the other things we already had in progress. Kthxbye."

Flogger and Farmer are going to be outstanding additions.

RAZBAM have stated that it will be the upgraded MiG-23MLA on their facebook page.

RAZBAM seem to be really smart in their marketing and definitely pay attention to what the consumers want. When everyone else was doing trainers they decided to scrap their T-2C Buckeye and go for a 4th Gen Fighter instead which really paid off for them. I see them doing the same thing here because a vast majority see the need for more eastern block aircraft.

Looks like the MiG-23 isn't going to happen after all.

"After discussions with TFC/ED about the MiG-23, we have discovered this choice is unavailable"

What the (expletive) does THAT mean?

Did RAZBAM's MiG-23 just go the way of the Patriot L-39...?

Knowing that there isn't a "Dibs" system in place, my thought is that they ran up against the Russian classification issue which is the same reason why we will not see a full DCS MiG-29 or Su-27. If that is the case, and I sincerely hope it is not, then I would not expect to see anything newer than the MiG-21 on the Russian side of things.

Having browsed the forum for a bit yesterday and looking through it, it definitely sounds like that's the likely cause here. Which is really unfortunate as we need something to offset the newer gen jets coming out.

"DCS: SAMs that don't need 1000 triggers" would offset newer jets a whole lot IMO.

Or for fun, "DCS: SA-20/21"

Yeah, DCS: IADS needs to be a thing... and with it a good EW model in game so we can make use of more than just self defense jammers... DCS: EF-111A Raven to go along with DCS: F-4G Wild Weasel V.

How about proper radars too and jammers... there's a lot of things we want we most likely won't get sadly.

I would think the "classification" issue would've been something they covered before publicly announcing the project, but what the hell do I know anyways?

Was really looking forward to that one. Even watched the "Wings of the Red Star: The Swing Wing Solution" episode illegally uploaded to Youtube in preparation. MiG-19 will still be nice, but that Flogger looked fun. If indeed the issue is that the Russians want to keep their secrets for a fighter that reached practical obsolescence about 3 decades ago, I really don't get that. To me, Razbam's announcement sounded more like ED had more of a personal issue with them doing it.
