The MiG-27K is a Soviet Ground Attack Aircraft available to PACT forces. It was introduced in Wargame: AirLand Battle
History[]
The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-27K (NATO Reporting Name "FLOGGER-J2") is a single-engine, single-seat, supersonic ground attack platform developed for the Soviet Air Force. The MiG-27K was the most advanced variant of the MiG-27 to be employed, featuring compatibility with laser-guided and TV-guided electro-optical munitions. The type carries a laser designator and an internal GSh-6-30 cannon.
Overview[]
AirLand Battle[]
The MiG-27K is a ground attack aircraft available to Soviet and PACT decks. Armed with a 30mm GSh-6-30 Gatling-type cannon and four Kh-29D fire-and-forget missiles, the type is good for spot removal of heavily armored targets and command posts. The Kh-29D is powerful, accurate, and fire-and-forget, allowing the MiG-27K to fire the missile and break away. The MiG-27's chief drawbacks are its cost and lack of an aerial missile compliment. At 150 points per aircraft, and with only its cannon for defense, the MiG-27K is vulnerable to enemy fighter aircraft. Its Medium-rated ECM is fair, but not particularly good for an aircraft of its cost, and a fighter escort should be considered when flying the MiG-27K over enemy territory.
Red Dragon[]
The MiG-27K in Wargame: Red Dragon is a ground attack aircraft available to Soviet and REDFOR decks. It is armed with a 30mm GSh-6-30 Gatling-type cannon and two fire-and-forget Kh-29D anti-tank missiles. The loss of two missiles means that the MiG-27K will not be able to sustain tank-hunting operations as well as it could in AirLand Battle, albeit this loss is compensated by massive buffs on accuracy; it now almost surely hits the target, assuring a kill on virtually any NATO tanks, making it a great asset to "assasinate" a high value tank (Similar to F-4F Peace Rhine of Bundeswehr). The type has been given good-level ECM (30%) to help defend against SAMs and AAMs, but a fighter escort should still be considered, as the type does not carry any AAMs for self defense. It has seen a price decrease of 5 points per aircraft.
