Cause 9Ls still have a no-escape range, and 9Ms are superior to R-73s.
There are counters to R-27ERs, it’s call flying low & notching, identical counter to AIM-7s; unless you mean IRL counters which none were made.
Are you sure about that bro? R60 and AIM-9L can be flared at any distance

Then, delete the r27er, nerf it, or buff the aim7 missiles to make the game fair for everyone
Hahahaha what is that no scape range? 10 cm? Also, its not a matter of flying low or not, its a matter of ussr vehicles being the only competitive ones in BVR

~1.2km when they’re afterburning, and ~700 meters when they’re not.
War Thunder hasn’t been BVR meta in years my dude, being good in BVR doesn’t mean anything when the playerbase is forcing WVR. There’s a reason many players never die to R-27ERs, including myself.
Your defense of SARHs isn’t the best.
Its still evaideable at 700m, you may just need more flares but its totally possible. The BVR meta has been only held by every single aircraft that got the r27er, other vehicles simply had no chances or weapons to compete too. Stop trying to defend what cant be defended.
BVR meta is AIM-7F/Ms and R-27ER and they’re the AIM-9B of top tier, easiest missiles to not die from.
This is why people want ARHs cause SARHs are inferior to the IR missile meta.
SARHs don’t need you defending them.
Is there a player flying straight at 700 m from u???
afterburning when misslie come at u???

Gotta escape the person chasing you… that’s the mentality most players have.
You mind telling me how an aim7m or f is balanced against an r27er? Please because I dont see how its fair that the r27er has twice as range and its almost three times faster, while pulling almost double the Gs of the aim7?
There is already something in game that could counter the 27ER…the AIM-54. But it is still very handicapped and I doubt anything will seriously be done before other fox 3s are introduced.

Sadly the aim54 is the easiest missile to evade, good idea irl but badly implemented in the game.
Cause they’re equally easy to defeat.
Having range & speed doesn’t matter if they notch you & cause your missile to go into the ground.
Also 10Gs is not double.
Bro I flared multiple AIM-9Ls at that distance or even lower with two engines on full afterburner

Isnt the r27er 40 Gs capable and the aim7 25 Gs capable?
No, it’s 35G.
Well, its still way too much difference
The R-27ER was designed to counter the early AIM-120s, by being much faster than them, thus allowing a russian fighter to effectively engage US jets in BVR.
So there’s never really gonna be a counter to it, just fly low or notch and use chaff.
And the 27ER is still vastly inferior to AIM-120A.
Your story is likely fake; and if it was true 27ERs are so reliant on the AIM-120 user being bad.
