Let's talk about the discrimination and institutional inadequacy of the Soviet Air Force from the fox1, fox2 era to the fox3 era today

I mean, an Iranian or some middle-east conglomerate tree could be made where these ME Bloc aircraft could be put into - But I doubt Gaijin cares to put that much work into it so the only thing to do is to put the aircraft and tanks in TTs that the vehicles were purchased and/or leased from.

yeah, probably. Maybe like the israeli tree where they put the later vehicles first and the tree starts at 4.0-5.0. We would need the AA toyota for sure

NGL it would be funny to see the ME player groups having an absolute meltdown over that.

Unfortunately, Gaijin isn’t interested in that much meming.

  1. Yes because I don’t keep a record of links, nor do I care if you disagree because I saw the data prior. I know who’s wrong here and it isn’t me.

  2. Again, " modeling error " an extra 100mm of armor? And I have a million dollars in my bank account.

  3. Re-read what I said and then try again because you completely lost the plot.

  4. You mean like every other high-capacity bombload bomber could if left unattended back in the day? Literal non-argument.

  5. No because now you’re just throwing a tantrum. Go put yourself in timeout for an hour and cool your jets.

Yes, Russia was one of the first nations to receive AAM in the game (MiG-19PT + R-3S).
Also, when F-4C was meta in 2019, Gaijin added R-60 which was “all-aspect missiles” with MiG-21SMT/MF in the game.

Same goes with MiG-23MLD that has R-24R/T, MiG-29 9.13 with R-27ER, Yak-141 which has really decent radar etc.

R-98 would literally just be a radar version of the Red top just with a sustainer and much worse AOA and max G it would strictly be a much worse R-23R

R-40 would be performance wise identical to the french R.511 just with Phoenix range and Fireflash AOA and G pull It’d be a shit missile even at 9.0

R-33
Would perform identically to the Phoenix just with a worse seeker and half the G pull

R-37 would perform identically to the Phoenix just with more range

Almost forget to include the R-4 its so bad i genuinely forgot it existed for a second literally an Aim-4 tier missile actually the Aim-4 is superior because at least it can hit supersonic targets

Let’s not forget that there were 9.3 and 9.7 Mig-21 models running radar missiles against competition that had neither countermeasures nor SARH of their own.

Oh, and let’s not forget the Vikhirs are still utter nonsense, themselves.

Nor that Kamovs can lose their tail and still maintain enough control to take a piss on people whilst any other helicopter is toast once they lose their tail and lose complete control.

Vikhrs havent been the top heli missile for a while now

So at first
No R-73 IS NOT IDENTICAL there are many difference in build, irccm works or simple things like range and max G load, engine etc.

R-77 doesn’t stand close to AIM-120A it is worst in almost every way with ultimate drag and seeker problems.
Like here on that clip

throw whole gameplay he is using R-77 only with HMD mode so under 10km, why? Because it just can’t go as far as AIM-120a or even PL-12.

And no R-27ER is equivalent to Aim-7p which has data link. They are no even close to each other ER has outstanding performance to 7F/M.

I mean top tier games in last few years.

MiG-21F-13/J-7II wasn’t good when they comes in the game because F-4C had 20mm gun pods which didn’t have any mass and, everybody spammed it.

When MiG-21S and SPS-K comes in the game, 10.0 and 9.7 wasn’t top tier anymore.

You cant really whine about the R-3R its literally just an an Aim-9B with a radar seeker its just as easy to kinematically dodge

Gunpod mass issue was fixed.

Mig-21 series afterburner thrust still puts out more than it’s supposed to and hasn’t been fixed as far as I am aware.

The 21 series AB puts out the correct thrust if anything the BIS is underperforming because it cant use its emergency thrust

I honestly just want a dedicated interceptor line.

All aircraft in War Thunder share the same damage model methodology, not just Soviets.
Tu-2? B-25 did the same thing.

Sloped armor on Soviet tanks are currently accurate. The flat protection of some tanks, Ariete included, is over-performing, but that’s a flaw of the APFSDS code.

7.1 seconds is slower than the quoted 6.x seconds.
HE shells are in-line with 120 - 125 HE shells of all tech trees.

Yeah, I know it’s HESH, still fills the role.

ERA performance is based on NATO documentation; so if you have an issue with it, prove NATO wrong.
Volumetric armor is on tanks in all tech trees.
T-series tanks were nerfed this week.
3BM60 is the “3rd worst” top round.
Their 8.7 tanks fire the worst APFSDS round at the BR.

HVAP was buffed in 2018, and buffed again in 2023. I should know having exclusively used it on T26E5, and Pershings from late 2019 onward.

These correct things about their vehicles shouldn’t be changed IMO; this is just a refutation of the claims presented in your post.


Oh, and to set the record straight: I acknowledge ALL experiences from everyone, regardless of how different to mine they are.
You found something I didn’t come across when playing, and that’s interesting.

You act like it was only Russian tanks affected by hvap being very good. Wasn’t it mostly German tanks that used it, so needing it would benefit American tanks too?

Reload times are always used for balance. It isn’t just Russia that benefits from that. And do you have evidence of them over performing compared to irl?

Was saying that nerf of HVAP benefited Russians
