There was also a centre-mounted ventral, integrated gunpod developed, designated as the VSPU-36.

        Bombs: two FAB-500 or four FAB-250 general-purpose bombs under pylons, two incendiary ZB-500, or two nuclear RN-28 bombs.

Considering this aircraft's appalling safety record and just overall being a crap design with poor engines... More than 40 were lost in accidents.. still it would be an interesting addition...

The Yak-38 is one of the planes I've been missing in bat since I started playing, would be great having it. Good knowing that there's an fsx one

[Wolfosito]

Seeing War Thunder models ported into the game successfully, I'd be up to source the Yak-38 3d model from war thunder, should have the default and M variant.

Ok . When you have done it let us know ….

[Wolfosito]

I meant if anyone wanted to make it I could extract it for him,
