It’s gaijin setting the idea in their mind and not changing it in any other way possible, they refused Mikoyan Gurevich spokeperson interview where they said no MIG35S has Zhuk-AE aesa radar and only mechanical Zhuk-M (indeed current one ingame is a mix of various elements of the mig35, they even changed the name from 35S to 35 only to “justify” it)
no matter what nation, if they don’t want a change to happen, you cannot do otherwise
that report answer to the F102A with source of F100D is hilarious tho
@Smin1080p_WT Hello, i believe the devs need to review this more.
This may be true in the context of IRL when considering reliability and other technological capabilities that are not reflected in WT. In game the earlier falcons would actually be superior due to them have much more energy, this is especially critical since they have no proxy fuse. As proof here are graphs:
AIM-4G:
AIM-4C:
As you can see, the AIM-4C launched at about mach 0.8 at sea level reaches about mach 2.2. In contrast, the AIM-4G launched at about 1.1 or so, at sea level, reaches about mach 1.6. So despite having a close to 50% higher launch speed the AIM-4G is vastly slower. Furthermore, the F-102 is a much slower aircraft than the F-106, so the AIM-4F/Gs are even more disadvantageous on it. Based on these facts, I do not believe it can be concluded that the AIM-4A-D are inferior weapons systems in the context of warthunder. Many others and I hope this is re-evalulated.
