oh but dont worry America and Russia get new top tier jets and Russia can club even harder in top tier ground with the Su30SM now getting KH38MTs and a thermal pod, what was the balance reason behind not giving us brimstone 2s again?

Welp, looks like the Harry Hopikens and the new graphics for the maps are all there is for me in this update.

I’ll be back to see if the Russian stream has something interesting else, eh.

Alright thanks!

12x R77-1 is OP

I like how “U.S mains” are bashed over AIM-9M and AIM-120 or getting lots of planes, but RU players are the ones who actually complain every time.

They claimed R-60 suffered against AIM-9E.
They claimed R-60M suffered against AIM-9J.
They claimed R-27ER suffered against AIM-7F.
They claimed R-73 suffered against AIM-9L.
They claim R-77 suffers against AIM-120A.
And just like that, I’ve already read complaints that R-77-1 will continue to suffer…
They even made a huge drama about AIM-9M for “being way better than R-73”!

Somehow, their missiles are always the worst and most suffering ones while American ones are always the best ones; and somehow, no matter how many or how much better missiles they get, it’s never enough.

The same way they claimed that T-80BVM suffered against even base M1A1, and that they needed Object 640 because “even T-90M was trash” and “Abrams were OP”.

Russia always suffers, and U.S is always OP. Yet the ones who always get trashtalked are “U.S mains”.

The update is so annoying that I can think of 4 or 5 different immediate changes.

F-18s to the attacker line
Israel getting the F-16 fixed
Do not remove G-5 boat
Naval BR to 7.3 or 7.7 (assuming leaks are real)

Plus the Germany somehow getting the AMD.35

What do the developers consider, “comparable aircraft”?

14 decent missiles on a platform slower than the 27SM? Unless we get the SM2, it has an inferior engine but better radar, have you never used the R-77s? If you did, you’d wish the 77-1 came sooner

Gzsbi leaked a Harrier T.10, which is the update’s only hope for me, (if no F-2)

end of 2025 apparently lol

I don’t even want another Harrier unless they fix them.

They have now given some jets real thrust vector control and completely ignored the first jet to ever do thrust vectoring.

@Smin1080p_WT will the modeling of the drag on the lattice fins of the R-77 be improved with the addition of the R-77-1?

Fingers crossed today, can’t wait to try that Hornet!

So, the Finnish Hornet is exactly 1:1 what Switzerland received in 1997 Exclusively A-A capabilities with AIM120B Spamraam.

Thats for me the way to go now
