ESM and it's update rates

So according to Gaijin, all russian and chinese fighter and attacker aircraft (even stuff like the Phantasmorgia POD developed in the 80s; have ESM that allows for instantaneous one-ping target aquisition while all other Nations don’t even have it on their newest fighter and attack aircraft?

I have tried looking into it, the Eurofighter for example should have an integrated ESM suite via the EuroDASS Praetorian, it however seems to use the internal HARM seeker for some reason. Most bug reports are close with “not enough info”, as the stuff is highly classified. I am certain that AT LEAST all top tier western aircraft (such as the F15E, F16, Rafale, Grippen E etc.) all have integrated ESM suites in their avionics.

So why is russia (and to that extend china) getting the special treatment once again??

Oh, the RUSSIAN aircraft in another tech tree gets the russian hyperdeadly ESM of doom and despair? Oh I wonder why.

IRL they seem to work fine killing russian vehicles

Could be that Gaijin might be trying to appeal to a certain community and leader huh?

are real life battles 10 minutes long and in a 5kmx5km area?

Sorry for trying to make the game fair for all nations instead of a russkal fever dream.

The “joke” of russian bias isn’t really a joke anymore, russia has been dominating top tier with KH38s, LMURs and the new pantsir of hyperdeath that they totally needed for quite some time now. Instant update ESM just adds on top of that.

Me when I convenientely leave out another nation

Dont forget the infinite range kh31

do i really need to explain to you that you need good tanks to get in the op cas ?
or maybe the fact that there is some nation with 20+ guided munition who can wipeout the entire team ?

It was mentioned in the reveal post about it:

If you have proof of the systems operating differently in-game than IRL then make a report for it. You can bug report it here: Gaijin.net // Issues (just search a bit first so that you don’t report something that is already reported and known about)

A guide on how to report bugs can be found here: ([Navigation] Technical Knowledge Base | War Thunder Wiki)

For reports of this kind they require sources:

I left it our the same I left out all other russian vehicles in other tech trees.

I know you guys live in a bubble where even with all the stuff russia gets you still perform subpar and think russia needs the T14 with 1 second reload and vacuum-27 with 569349823mm pen, so I expected that you guys are gonna ride the “bUt JaPaN” horse that is the MKK. It would be a little too obvious if all other nations russian made stuff performs different than russian stuff.

The issue is that it was reported on the dev server.

But so far only soviet made aircraft get built in ESM as far as I am aware. Everyone else is depedent on the ESM in the weapons themselves.

Yeah, lemme just hit up Eurofighter Jagdflugzeug GmbH and ask them for the highly classified docs on the eurofighters ESM suite.

Any SPAA can if we’re being honest here. Unless you lob them at close range, then reaction time becomes null.
