@Smin1080p_WT first of all hello and i was wondering will we get a fusion or a display of both the radar and the irst ? or is it not planned/being considered ? also do you like what is gonna be added this year and if yes why ? will we get more QOL for naval only or for every gamemode ? and do we have any news of infantry ? anyways have a good day and thank you if you read that and took your time to respond.

so just becasue there isnt anything compareable to a system it shouldnt be added
so the LOSAT shouldnt be ingame either or the VT1-2
lets give everyone just the exact same equiment
lets scrap unique equipment and lets give everyone just F-16’s with aim9l’s
I love this dance with you. So when I point out there are clearly some missiles in-game without counterpart and are more advanced than other, you ask me to name comparable missile irl which has nothing to do with my subject.
Then you argue with someone else how ASRAAM using CAMM would not be comparable because its more advanced (one could argue R-27ER was incomparably advanced fox-1 before AIM-7P variant came catching up to it slightly, and R-27ET is more advanced than any other long range IRCCM missile in game, because there is non other btw). And now you say I’m basically telling everyone to have same missiles in a post where I originally don’t even reply to you, nor do I at any point say all should be same.
Again, why is “there needs to be comparable missile “X” in-game/irl so that some other missile “Y” gets to be added” an argument from WT community manager when that is clearly not the case is my point which seems to go over your head and wasn’t a question originally asked from you.
this is a sign from above for me to start pilot training. I’ve been holding it off. Thank you.

The comparison of R-27ER vs AIM-7M/P is nowhere near the same as AIM-120D vs Meteor / MICA NG.
These missiles are significantly more advanced in every single aspect and respect, by a far larger margin.

As a war thunder esport player, I have never seen such a gap in missile performance. The simple fact the r27er is still the META missile in tournaments 4 years after its introduction is a testament to how overpowered the missile was/is.
I highly doubt there will be such a margin between these future missiles.

Idk how big the difference is between R-27ER and AIM-7M/P, but I can tell you the 120D does NOT come close to METEORs and others missiles of that class. The range and agility at range are miles apart

The R27ER is way more out of the league that AIM7M/P is in, they don’t cut it really, they slow and lose lock most the time, plus they are also bugged in game
IRL range doesnt matter if you can notch anything but an r27er within 5km in war thunder. meteor turns less than an amraam too btw.
The seeker advantage of r27er over any other missile puts it leagues above aim7m (it was released alongside)
The difference is the Meteor keeps its speed along a long distance thanks to the ramjet, so it has energy to turn at a longer range. The regular 120D is just a glider at that range
Range doesn’t matter too much, but agility at range does
range doesnt matter when i can 3 chaff any of them with a minimal energy loss
I’m… not quite certain it will be that easy with top gen missiles
Considering how the MICA currently is, the Meteor probably won’t be your friendly neighborhood amraam
Doesn’t really surprise me considering how sharp Gaijin’s sense of balance is
Nothing to do with balance when Sparrows aren’t even bad. they just are slow
What’s the matter then if it’s fine?
meteor literally shares seeker with mica irl, mica is 5km notchable easy ingame. Having 200km range means i will easily notch anyways anyrange
Fair point
5 km? Never, except you’re already in a notch and you don’t get screwed by its extremely aggressive relocking due to it’s very small notch-gate (7° instead of 15° like every other missile).
just chaff at more than 2 bps, its proven to work

But there is clear gap there too, and R-27ET doesn’t have any counterpart missile to it currently in-game. End of the day War Thunder is a game and does balancing decisions such as explosive mass etc to balance out missiles like it already does with AIM-7M/P having ~1/3rd of explosive mass compared to its irl warhead and R-27ER/T having explosive mass the ~1/2 of its size of warhead in-game (both have ~40kg warhead irl).
I’m not arguing towards introducing MICA-NG or METEOR near future (which both are essentially classified and would therefore give rather free hands in balancing aspect), but rather pointing out that R-27ET is only long range IRCCM in-game currently and there is major performance difference between R-27ER and AIM-7M/P. It just seems performance difference hasn’t hampered Gaijin from introducing some missiles so far.
