And it sits almost a whole BR below the RU counterpart.
SU-25SM3 is already a subsonic with only 4x FnFs at 12.7.
I’d be fine with your choice if it was higher in BR though.
The Ravings Of A Madman!..
Israel contains it, but India does not, especially since it is possible to create a sub-tree for India!
We will strive to change this approach to India!.
Just a clearly English Bias…
20 of them (should be 28 iirc), but you can engage multiple targets with GPS munitions
And they aren’t mitigated, IRL the base GBU-39 really was just a GPS glide bomb (there was a laser + gps version though)
But if they were IR guided, its unlikely the F-15E would have 20-28 of them in game. That is what I meant

Talking about balance in top tier is so hilarious to me, given that its been skewed for years at this point. From introduction of Pantsir completely neutering any planes that are less maneuverable than gen 4 fighters or planes that have poor armaments succh as Tornado ASSTA1 for example which until pre-last update had only GBU16s which were nearly unusable against an SPAA with 18km range missiles. To BVMs having ERA plates that are able to absorb mavericks and 2000lbs GBUs through magical means to the introduction of Kh38 which were able to (and still are) to outrange every single NATO SPAAs effective range by a large margin while being FnF on at first a frogfoot to now basically a fat flanker that gets 6 of them as well as A2A missiles to protect itself.
And thats just Russia.
USA had F16C, F15A and then C to protect from 15+km slinging Kh38s and now has F15E which is able to do both CAP and CAS but thts about it. And the funny thing is that a single somewhat competent player in a Pantsir is still able to ward off strike eagles or the viper with relative ease.
So trying to come here and say “yo guys im just trying to uphold balance, you guys have no clue what balance is” while ignoring the massive positives of stuff like Su34 which is a plane from the 80s as a russian answer to the strike eagle and not a 4.5 gen fighter such as EFT seems pretty hollow or maliciously ignorant.
Top tier has not been balanced in ages, it wont magically start being balanced now, every single update is going to bring something new, something that trumps the competetition. Same way as we went from F16C being top dogs, to gripens to SM3 Frogfoots, to Su34s and F15Es to now EFTs and Rafales. And next update who knows what it will change to, F18s, Su35s, Mig31 and 35 etc.
If you truly wish for “balanced” top tier youd be advocating for the removal of pretty much 60% of what makes top tier.

Of course it’s unfair!.
The Soviet branch has access only to weapons of the USSR/Russia, and because of the mess that WT has made with Soviet technology in other trees, the West receives both Western and Soviet weapons/Russian.
We’ll have to wait to see once they add the GBU-53 (in files) imagine a gbu -39 with IIR, Laser, GPS, MMW (will be removed probably), and IOG all in one bomb
Fits in the same quad racks too
Yeah, wont get that quantity, if it does, then defo placeholder IR for Brimstone 2s needed
Idk, I think it will get at least 20 to match brimstone/brimstone 2 count
Even with better guidance modes, it’s still a glide bomb and it’ll take forever to hit it’s target assuming they don’t just go behind cover, while a brimstone 2 is gonna be going a whole lot faster through its flight path
If Brimstone 2s are limited to SAL and then the F-15E gets 20-28 IR guided glide bombs. then something is deeply broken with the game
All of this would be solved if they just added buddy lasing
You could get FNF capabilities on your brimstones
Whoever’s lasing would get an assist credit
It would open up new strategies and encourage actual teamwork in the game
russia doesnt use weapons of the west duhhh, germany historicaly used east equipment and inia is a subtree
Besides that russia already received multiple vehicles outside their nation as well
To be fair all the ones I can think of off the top of my head from high tier to top tier all are eastern style equipment with Soviet or Russian weapons
M53/59 lizard fast example is a complete czech vehicle, had nothing to do with ussr and was never part of the ussr
It can ward off bad ones.
Su-34 has only a single positive, they aren’t plural.
This is how you keep adding more and more powercreep, thus making the game more and more of a cesspool.
Of course that new stuff has to come, but it should come with additional BRs as a way to balance it out. We wouldn’t be even having this conversation if we had something like 13.7 BR in GRB.
I’d rather add stuff than remove them for sake of balance.
Adding more higher/top tier AAs will help.
Adding more BR steps to better differentiate between vehicle performances will help.
Nerfing US jets’ and Rafale’s A2G capabilities would help as well, but I’m more for those two first options.
Oh yeah good point, didn’t think of it
Not high/top tier though
You want to de-strike the STRIKE eagle???

If they aren’t keen in increasing the BR cap then yeah.

Under no circumstances should a dedicated strike aircraft, a bomb truck, the replacement for the F-111 of all things, get its ground striking ability nerfed
It only carries 6 mavericks with less range and speed than Kh-38
