Uh no
F-18 over performing (we know this cause we have the flight manual for it)
SU-30 with clean wings and 30% fuel should have a 1.21 TWR
It does not
R-77-1’s should track better (you know it’s bad when I can shoot 1 amraam lose lock at 25km+ and it still hits while the guy front aspect above 3000 meters somehow the R-77 loses lock under 10KM distance)
HSTV-L
Shoots the ammo rack and nothing happens
Upper front plate bounced shots (max effective thickness of the UFP is only 138 and that’s at best)
2S38 on the other hand
Doesn’t require ammo to have an ammo detonation
You can shoot the turret (which this is 57mm ammo, if it’s the dart round the spacing is too far apart to set the ammo off in a cascading event without hitting multiple rounds) you can cause the entire vehicle to blow up
Shoot the rear and you’re still guaranteed a kill via fuel detonation
Shoot the fuel tank and you’re still guaranteed a kill without hitting the crew (9/10 tests ran without hitting ammo or crew always resulted in a shot kill)
maybe at the lower BRs
Never had an issue at top tier fighting a BMP
Honestly they aren’t that bad to play nor fight against they get a pass from me
HSTV-L if you’re having issues with it there’s 0 excuses
I watched one of our guys rush midfield in it saying it sucked
Told him to flank with it and he got a nuke back to back with it.
Meanwhile with the 2S38 Ill immediately state this
If you get hit you’re dead. It was already to this point before they added the modules in. The modules weren’t even needed. I say this all the time, if it’s already designed to die in 1 hit, adding modules to make it even weaker does nothing.
It was to the point that nerf was actually a buff cause they added the feature where it doesn’t need to reload every 20 rounds
Also not the SM2 variant this was calculated for the SM with the AL-31FP engines
The SM2 has a 1.61 TWR with 30% fuel and clean wings
I beg to differ. I have never had APFSDS be eaten, I’ve also kill a T-80U in the side fire the 25mm HE of the Sidam 25… somehow… don’t even begin to ask me how.
More often my fuel explodes than anything. Because people can’t aim and gaijin decided I needed to die I guess.
Also, Russia has the mass WW2 nerf a few years ago where gun depression got hammered… so tbf Russia gets the most nerfs, USA gets the most buffs.
Gave a pretty good explanation, I recommend people give it a read:
The premise of that question is wrong.
To summarize the AGM-65 are only OP against nations that don’t have good spaa. In top tier AGM-65s only become an issue when the sky is saturated with platforms that can carry them. The same thing can’t be said with the Kh-38 as many people have pointed it out. If you don’t know why, I’ll be happy to explain in again.
This is why I’m completely against the talking point “agms that outrange spaa are op” (or along the lines) because it’s misleading.
The word “skill issue” has been misused so many times. It was once used for people who genuinely sucked at the game, now it’s being used as a talking point.
Right now no tech tree has good SPAA.
I met some of the skilled CAS players in 2022 and 2023, and I was one of the players causing frag streaks using AGM-65Ds every so often.
And while Pantsir got a radar buff recently, it’s not helped by the F-15E/I which have glide bombs to ruin Pantsir’s chances of saving MBTs from AGM-65Ds without sacrificing themselves to save some.
Glad you agree with me on the misuse of skill issue, there’s a reason I almost never use it, cause when I do use it, and it’s used correctly such as in this case, it has more power than if I used it constantly.
As, mentioned in the link I’ve provided, this is not true. Against Mavericks, there are quite a few platforms that can effectively take care of them. Against Kh-38s, there are none. Again they only become an issue where there are multiple platforms in the sky
The tactic of saturating the air with glide bombs is a good idea however there are many ways you can counter this. unlike glide bombs, agms produce a lot more heat meaning IRST can essentially pick them out. It still doesn’t keep you safe from the bombs themselves which is why simply moving to a different position can save you.
Imma complain ab it now
F-16 does (I mean we couldn’t even get the accurate flight models for the typhoon of Rafale cause of it. Not just Russia that suffers its every other flipping nation cause US mains are the ones spending god knows how many dollars on a stupid premium)
F18
F-15
All of them do
The gripen I will say is actually just that bad flight performance wise
It doesn’t have any TWR at all so the nerfs were somewhat justified. If you turn you lose a crap ton of speed due to it.
The hornet though there’s no excuse. The hornets airframe is only capable of taking 11g’s before it starts to snap parts off so yeah no that’s just utter ridiculousness on the communities and developers part.
Just wait till the SU-35 and SU-30SM2 gets added. If we think this is bad
Wait till it shows up with a .8 TWR for all variants
(Spoilers the SM2 has a 1.61 TWR with 30% fuel and clean wings)
It’s not US mains fault that Gaijoob is greedy company, adding several premiums per update neither adding nor fixing tank and issue that people actually suffer from, but yeah go ahead and blame everyone for others mistakes.
Uh no
Cause every single nerf to Russian players they don’t whine. Most even don’t even play their own nation cause how garbage it is. I asked em about it and they just outright stated “why play a nation that’s good only for the first 2 days of the dev server before some American gets offended his equipment isn’t better than what we have in a video game and gets nerfed into the ground”
He couldn’t be even more right lmao.
Not even a week after the dev server launches the SU-30SM’s TWR is now (and I’m not kidding I ran the calculations) .40
KEEP IN MIND THIS IS AN AIRCRAFT WITH A 1.21 TWR AT 30% IRL
It used to be at a 1-1 then they nerfed it to the ground
Because they don’t actually get nerfs?? for example the ADATS got nerfed multiple times, now i can’t see the missile at all after launching it, KH38MT broke Top Tier they did not nerf it at all but they added more platforms to carry it, now it’s cancer and Top Tier is unplayable.
Because they’re better in real life also? I’m not trying to glaze and i’m not even American but they’re way ahead of Russia, and if this game is even close to realism it should be too.
We tested it btw
The pantsir can’t even see KH-38’s
It’s a bug and if you could make a bug report ab it then please do so.
Also the ADATS (outside of its radar) is currently the best SPAA in game due to its mobility and the G’s the missile can pull.
Pantsir only really has a good radar without it the same 10KM max range is still a thing.
Need to get the ADATS to run tests on it. Would love to see how its radar is
Also our equipment isn’t better lmao.
To put this in perspective
The F-2
Type 90
Type 10
TKX
Leopard 2
T-90M
T-72B3
Etc
When we make equipment we build it for a mission
The mission of the Abram’s was to be a point defense for Europe. Yet despite that being its mission it can’t cross over half of the bridges in Europe due to its weight which hinders cross country mobility MASSIVELY
Compare that with the TKX
By shrinking the size of the chassis and using modern materials
They achieve better protection values and are easily modified for even better protection if need be all while still being almost 30 tons lighter than the SEPV3
Feature auto track and an advanced battle management system (kinda like VR, the sensors and scanners see the target, throw up a 3D render of the target on the commander screen and give him that target and all the crew a visual of where it is, this also leads back to the F-2 cause if the tanks systems highlight a target the F/2 pilot can look where that target is and see it in real time as well)
This is just one example of our equipment being worse and keep in mind that Type 10 project spans the early 90’s through today and most of those systems and enhancements happened in the 90’s
Our air equipment is what it is.
Flight performance it’s not as good as the Russians but we put an emphasis on BVR so it goes to show that our equipment is made for BVR. There’s no complaints there in fact I would love to see it more fairly represented cause that would be more balanced for the games
Americans dominate BVR while Russians have medium to short range engagements balanced as all things should be,
Ofc this starts to get more spicy when the SU-35 gets added since it features and even more advanced radar and way better BVR equipment. Which means the gap isn’t so massive. This however doesn’t mean we lose our BVR advantage it just means the gap is closer than previously
