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.

Your problem is that any diferent things that go to any other nation, you already cry saying "that such thing is better than the American variant "
A good example of this is the F16AM, It has everything that the Chinese MLU has + fox3, it’s exactly the same plane, when you compare it with the f16C, the f16AM has inferior engines, inferior radar and
no HDM… in exchange for a better FM than the f16 C
For you to have access to more countermeasures and MAW, you need to give up 2 aim120…
The f16C barak II when compared to the F16C block 50, has inferior engines, inferior radar, same FM, but more countermeasures…
But it is often said that these planes are the best f16s in the game… that’s not true, they’re just different and a little worse.
The same goes for the f15, the Japanese variant has different missiles, and is a little lighter, but this difference is treated as if it were a cardinal sin against the American tt…
…
This is shit

You shouldn’t be surprised if you know recent history and the current balance of power in the world.

everything is a matter of balance, between historical accuracy and competitiveness and balance within the game.
If the game Age of Empires III is 100% historically accurate, it would be impossible to beat the British Empire
If the Age of Empires II and IV is 100% historically accurate, it is impossible to beat the Mongols.
There would be no competitiveness, only pure asymmetry…
If LoL is 100% accurate with the game’s lore, nothing can defeat Aurelion Sol, Darkins, Ascended and Celestials… will the other 120 game champions go to dump?
War Thunder will take this direction, nothing will beat the USA…? Where is the competitiveness of the rest of the game?
IF WT wishes to be a competitive game, it should not take this direction. It would have to find a balance between historical accuracy and competitiveness.

Not even the case, which is the funny thing that they have led you to believe.
The reason that US mains so deeply oppose foreign modifications of their aircraft receiving comparative or better features (due to their modifications lmao, says it on the tin really) is because it reveals this deep insecurity that they must have and be the best, and simply will never occur in game because it is not true.

I don’t know how much worse the radar is, but I suppose it’s only marginally worse. In the hangar when I hover the cursor over the pilot it says it has both HMD and MAW. You yourself said it has better FM, so worse engines don’t matter.
I would say MAW and better FM for a slightly worse radar is a good trade.
And all of this doesn’t matter, since France shouldn’t have an F-16 at all. They have enough domestic planes. The Netherlands sub tree is the most useless addition ever, copy paste planes under a different flag.
Speak of the devil, it’s better than F-16ADF. F-16AJ never even existed and is better too. Yet another example of screwing over the country of origin.
I’m speaking of the number of planes USA or Russia gets compared to other nations.

100% This.
Israel has plenty of stuff it could get that would make it unique, but the snail, for whatever reason, either doesn’t add it or gives us last access to it.
Spikes are a perfect example of this. Italy, France and Germany all got access to it across 5 or 6 vehicles until we caught up like what… a whole year later?
It’s the same in aircraft. Not a single domestic A2G munition. We just get copy paste of US stuff that Israel did use, and when it comes to things like Mav’s Israel didn’t use, do we get a replacement? A counterpart? No. We just get nothing. A vacant hole in the modification screen.

You’re projecting hard. Most people complaining about US players are.

All the whining has been because they want the superior variant, regardless of how the other one ends up performing as a result

Germany’s air tree could end with Me163. It’s pathetic. None of the post WW2 planes in the German tech tree are actually German from the ground up. All are copy pastes or modifications, with an exception in the form of Alpha Jet, which is a trainer plane.
I see no reason why Germany should have an artificial air tree beyond 8.7. It could just end at 8.7 and then jump to Eurofighter.
That was a consequence of the war and US/Russian restrictions on the German military industry for a good period after it, as a result I firmly believe Germany needs a subtree to supplement it’s higher tiers, one of Poland, Argentina or Switzerland preferably but all 3 have their pros and cons to addition.

Now you’re getting it.
Maybe you aren’t.
I firmly believe that instead of adding even more non-German stuff, they should get absolutely nothing.
If you want to play a MiG-29, a MiG 23, a MiG-21 etc. with GDR emblems, go grind the Russian tech tree and download a custom skin…
Good luck convincing the german mains that lmao
That’s the problem, the grind makes the community so tribal. Once you commit to one nation, it’s hard/unpleseant to switch. The crews also don’t help.
I bet a lot of people simply regret picking a minor nation and get salty whenever seeing US players, to which I can only answer rip bozo.

Nah. Allow some different planes plus, you can’t have a jump from rank V to rank VIII without having some way to research rank VIII efficiently.
This is acceptable.
Grind is an artificial issue. It’s up to Gaijin how grind works.
Imagine someone in WW2 saying: Mr president, we’ve almost researched the P-51D-30, if we use a 30% booster we will get it today. Lmao
I agree, but
-
The country of origin should always also get it, unless it’s domestic in which case the country of origin should get an equivalent variant of their own, if there is one.
For example I really wish Russia had a MiG-21MF equivalent, because the SMT is ugly.
-
If you use them, you’re forced to play together with the country of origin, unless there are some historical shenanigans (for example Ukrainians and Russians both using T-72s against each other).

If I had my way, the game would let you play what you want, to research what you want, however this wouldn’t make gaijin any money so it can’t be…
