And yet a large majority of the players who voted for the F-15E engines have gone suspiciously quiet now that they got their way…
I mean yeah. They don’t play Israel (because top tier Israel is basically top tier US) so they don’t really care.

I don’t play America yet I still voted for it’s strike eagle to receive it’s engines, so I have absolutely no remorse to grill them for being hypocritical

Hypocritical?

Supporting one thing, crying about historical accuracy, while not actually supporting the other (which in the case of accuracy would play in the same role with Domestic Weaponry)

There’s no problem in not participating in votes that don’t concern your main nation. They fought their battle for the engines, now its time for Israeli mains to fight for domestic loadouts.
Personally I support the addition of domestic loadouts for Israeli. Its about time they get something unique.

we have been doing this even before the Ra’am, there was a issue for the F-16D a while back for not having its standoff weapons yet it appears gaijin hasnt even considered it based on smin’s response. i just dont think there are nearly enough israeli players for gaijin to care, so they take their time with it. the meshupar is a good example, took almost 3 months for that thing to get TWS despite a decent amount of evidence supporting it.

That controversy has been quite funny to me since it only affects a singular plane, but it has gathered so much attention.
Yet the RWR changes haven’t had anywhere near the amount of focus, despite them affecting nearly every single plane above 11.0. What is with people and only focusing on top tier, when there are bigger and more important changes happening too.
Yeah I’m not quite sure what’s going on with that. There’s clear evidence and yet Gaijin is still choosing to nerf.

Yes it is
You seem to believe its only the US who dont get their domestic vehicles when thats just patently false the soviets still dont have the Tor, most of Britain’s techtree ends up in other nations but as significantly better variants at the same or lower br its not all about you and if you dont get that you’ll never understand did britain mains throw a fit when the US got the best harrier variants at the same br as the british ones that are worse in almost every way no.
A 440kg difference is negligible i also forgot to mention the american F-15 gets CFTs while the japs dont
Have you actually used the AAM-4??? Because range is the most important factor for these missiles and the AAM-4 has less range its going to bleed speed a lot faster
Again barely a difference that you wont notice because the AAM-3 has lower DV

I don’t believe this.
Lighter is lighter. You claimed that the F-15J(M) was the same weight, I disproved it.
CFTs are objectively worse than external tanks. You can’t drop CFTs and they weigh more while having the same drag as external tanks. There is no situation where CFTs are better than external drop tanks.
Its not a flex.
The AAM-4 and Aim-120 by themselves have very similar range. The Aim-120 only beats it in range because it lofts a bit higher which the graphs don’t account for. You can easily mitigate the Aim-120’s range advantage by lofting manually.
What’s for sure though is that the range difference between the AAM-4 and the AMRAAM is small. The maneuverability advantage outweighs the range deficit the AAM-4 has over the AMRAAM.
You won’t notice it overall but the AAM-3 is still a better missile.
All these tiny advantages the F-15J(M) gets adds up and makes it a better aircraft than the F-15C. No amount of devaluing or coping will take that away.

while the game remains broken… naah
I alone made 3 posts on this forum about Baz Menshupar’s radar, apart from the other publications on the subject which were more than 20, it was not well received by the community, it did not generate positive engagement, it did not generate commotion and it still took Gaijin almost 2 major updates to fix the radar.
Keep doing good work. Gaijin doesn’t really take minor nations too seriously unless you’re Sweden.
unless the “minor” nations surpass the USA in some aspect, then comes the crying on the forum, followed by the nerf hammer.
Mirage 2000D RMV is already dead on arrival.
France has always been known for making great weapons systems, the new Mirage will came completely crippled.
Without MiCA-IR, and without access to their best ground weapons…
…and exactly the same plane as the mirage 2000D R1 but 12.7.
The new Tornado with the sad brinstones… pathetic… completely dead on arrival.
F15I without AGMs… completely overshadowed by the f15E…
…and no matter how many posts they make about it, it won’t generate a fraction of the commotion that the f15E’s crappy engine generated, it’s literally me, plus half a dozen people who are going to fight to have these changes implemented in 2 to 3 major updates.
By then, the capabilities that these planes should have are already set for the game’s meta…
playing with any nation other than the US is fighting for the minimum

What vehicles were nerfed? Besides the Baz Meshupar (which got fixed in the end) I can’t think of any. A lot of US vehicles in minor nations’ trees are equal if not better. Like the F-15J(M), F-15J, F-15AJ, F-16 block 15s, etc…
In GRB sure, the F-15I is nowhere near as good as the F-15E. In ARB they’re about equal, the F-15I does get more countermeasures but thats about it. I wouldn’t really call it “overshadowed”.
Because there are a lot more US players than there are Israeli players. Israel top tier is literally just US top tier, that’s probably why US players won’t grind Israel because its mostly copy paste.
Blaming US players will do nothing. Its not even their fault Gaijin prefers popular nations and its not like you can make them grind Israel. Israeli top tier is just US top tier.

No, they know, they just don’t care. They feel entitled to US vehicles before the US tree gets them, or better variants than the US gets. If anyone points out the absurdity of this logic, they call you a crier.

I mean… gaijin won’t do anything about it as long as it profits them so i guess we adapt but yes game being broken is not cool
That’s the punchline though, it isn’t.
If Israel was treated the same way as America in War Thunder then there would not be such a noticeable disparity in their options for both CAS and in some situations, A-A capabilities.
For the longest time we have requested 2 things, that our aircraft are fairly modelled (and do not come in the horrific form of the Baz Meshupar again), and that we receive domestic (or stopgap) Air to Ground ordinance;
The same weapons Israel is so famous for both utilising and selling abroad, in fact there are aircraft in game which have received Israeli weaponry before Israel (The Lizard GBUs on the Brazilian AMX) and we are forced to watch as everyone else (besides Japan and Germany) receive far more capable AGMs for their aircraft, such as the AGM-65G and new IIR guided PGM-500s, while having weaponry like the Delilah and Popeye called ‘blatantly OP’ and some saying they should never come, begging the question, why bother?

What a cope thread. “How dare the US players complain about anything, I’m the victim.”
The only reason minor nations get better variants is to force X nation players to grind other tech trees, that would otherwise be uninteresting for them, and spend more time or money on the game, which is understandably frustrating.
