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.
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?
I created a list of vehicles that could make up a line of interceptors, obvious issues with this (already 5 lines of aircraft) but I was bored when I did it.
I want to create a U.S. model.
Dedicated Interceptor line
