R-60 was def better. Especially because back then there was no sparrows so you always had to close and get into a massive knifefight furball; perfect conditions for an R-60, less so for a 9J.
Have you never played a cat and mouse between MiG-21 and F-5? R60 wins if the F-5 stopped flaring, that stuff got some potent pull.
Russian aviation is literally inferior, cope.

It is both inferior IRL and in WT.

That’s only true in WT at very tippy top tier. At 13.0 and below USSR air is extremely competitive.

We’re not talking about IRL we’re talking about War Thunder. And fortunately for the IvanBoos their precious aircraft are not inferior in War Thunder.

crazy how russian planes in this game should snap in halve before doing half the maneuvers they are allowed to do , but somehow its the U.S players.
You see hw these people whine the moment they are forced to do anything but hold W and go in a straight line? It doesn’t matter if its the ground or in the air, they EXPECT to win because they somehow think they are entitled to winning.

I wanna see someone try a cobra in sim and then the wing gets snapped off
I’ve seen someone do a loaded barrel roll at least.
this is bruce leeroy seeing him do a cool trick with a plane or helicopter is like saying jesus could walk on water
He does look like jesus, you’re right.
Every plane in this game would snap the wings off or at least be unusable after if you managed to pull 15g irl sustained like you can in wt
This isn’t just a soviet thing, it’s literally just how gaijin models plane fms so that they pull 1.5x more than what they’re rated for irl
