Game Mechanics Issue/soviet game bias:
To make the game fair and balanced, the following aircraft should be equipped with Aim-120As.
If Gaijin isn’t a hypocrite that is.
The Mig-29s never carried R27ERs, You can see here Community Bug Reporting System They are given them for mystical reasons and “На данный момент условность модернизации.”
Well, to make sure that the snail isn’t a hypocrite or russian bias favoritism. The developer should also give Aim-120as to the following:
F15A
F16A
F14A
Tornado IDS
All of which are capable of carrying and firing the Aim-120as. (Unlike the fantasy Mig-29 with R27ERs).
Further more the Aim-120as (for balance reasons) should be reduced to TT Level 3. Case in point, the Mig-29s TT Level features the R27ERs at BR 12.7. While the Aim-120s all sit at BR 13+.
The F15A , F16A, and AV-8B Harrier should be reduced to BR 12.7 to make sure they are at the same BR as the Migs running R27ER fantasy missiles. This would show the game developers are not giving the soviets an unfair advantage (which they currently are) by undertiering aircraft and giving aircraft armament they didn’t have, but giving other aircraft armament they DO have and putting them AT THE SAME TIER.

If you are going to give Mig-29s fictional loadouts and put them at 12.7. Then at least give aircraft THAT ACTUALLY CARRIED THEM their missiles and put them AT THE SAME BR. Otherwise the game very much so looks like soviet bias/unrealistic advantages are going on.
All the aircraft I listed are higher BR than the Mig-29s carrying R27ERs (which the mig never carried) so this would balance the game out.
Or, just remove the imaginary loadout you gave the Migs to make them over perform. You claim the game has realistic flight models, yet you give soviet vehicles missiles they never carried.
Please do note from your website: "War Thunder — Realistic Military Vehicles Online Combat Game for PC, Xbox and PlayStation. Play for Free About the Game
“In War Thunder, aircraft, attack helicopters, ground forces and naval vessels collaborate in realistic competitive battles.” This isn’t the case with these aircraft missing their armament and the soviet aircraft having unrealistic loadouts.
Also you claim this: “Over 2,500 highly detailed aircraft, helicopters, ground vehicles, warships and other combat vehicles crafted carefully from historical documents and surviving sources.” Which again is misleading and incorrect with these aircraft missing their loadouts while the soviet aircraft have fake loadouts = Mig-29, Yak 141. While NATO vehicles have the wrong armor, wrong or missing loadouts… etc. These are your claims, you should hold up to them or take them down.
If you have another place you want these “Game Mechanics” reported, then please share. As this is where I told to report these issues.
R27ER is the only missile with correct DATALINK (Aim-120 is missing this).
R27ER is the fastest missile in the game
R27ER can out pull the Aim-120as
R27ER has better range than the Aim-120s
This makes them Balanced against the Aim-120s.
