That's why I'm trying to use their full potential. Although I don't know, if I should propose full load variants (in case of MiG-27, 6-7x 500 kg bombs), or keep some limits (still decent 4x 500 kg, with a drop tank). Planes are a sideline, but I feel they are a 'salt' in the game

Unfortunately, info on EW differences is quite hard to find. Replacing multirole fighter variants with ground attack ones would generally make sense in most cases, but I can understand, that somebody may look for diversity in available equipment. At least in the USSR, frontline fighters would occasionally attack ground targets, but it was a primary mission of MiG-23BN/MiG-27/Su-17.
By the way: rocket armament of MiG-27/Su-17 may be changed from 32x57mm pods to more efficient 20x80mm ones.
