BVP-50-60 chaff/flare dispensers (60 rounds) - (MiG-27M/D modification)

[EpicBlitzkrieg87 8,350]

The MiG-27M we're receiving in the "Direct Hit" update is coming equipped only with PKVP-23 dispensers, and it's a bit underwhelming because each hold only six 50mm KDS-23 casettes with PPI-50 and PPR-50 cartridges.

 

There is a variant called "MiG-27D" ("D" stands for "dorabotani", "updated" in Russian). This variant is the exact same as the MiG-27M, because it is essentially the designation applied to 305 MiG-23BN examples which were converted to MiG-27Ms, 242 of which at the Irkutsk factory. The new suffix was added to distinguish between the converted and the freshly made examples. 

 

Yet interestingly, they did not install better chaff/flare dispensers on the fresh examples  new information came to light, they actually did and it was forwarded, but in case they don't accept the sources, here's this suggestion.

 

Those overwing dispensers each held 30 x 50mm KDS-155 rounds, so the total count was 60. For now, we're gonna have to deal with 12 in total.

I am suggesting we receive the BVP-50-60 chaff/flare dispensers as a researchable modification for the MiG-27M, in this manner:

You would have to research the PKVP-23 dispensers first (the ones we're getting) as a requirement to research the BVP-50-60s ^, and the research progress would either be to the side or downward

Yeah, no biases with us lot. If anything the ground attacker MiG should have more countermeasures than it does now.
