The treatment given to Russian vehicles is very different from that of other nations.
t90m arena M being from the same br as t90m is insane.
Russia is already the most oppressive nation in Ground Rb, it has the best tanks, the monstrosity that is the BMPT and BMPT2, the best CAS in the game, the best helicopter with the best missiles, and the three best anti-aircraft in the game.
The addition of torret baskets to almost all nations except Russia is another huge problem.
so you can add another tank that’s completely out of the ordinary and has less weaknesses.
The treatment given to the MiG 29K also does not go unnoticed.
This aircraft was supposed to receive the R77-1 and be a 14.3, in addition the MiG-29K has additional countermeasures that I have no idea where they come from.
In addition to Russian aircraft receiving variants of anti-radiation missiles for virtually all radar bands.
The man-in-the-loop mechanic also absurdly favors the Russian CAS.
I was always a player who denied the existence of a Russian bias, until the end of last year when I started playing other modes besides ARB, I started playing GRB.
The latest balancing decisions for this game have been terrible. You’ve gone back to recompressing the Br, added premium vehicles under BR, and made completely asymmetrical nerfs.
They simply destroyed the entire Chinese top tier with the PL12 nerf, made terrible additions in the way the J10C and J15T were implemented, while adding additional countermeasures to the Mig29K and giving it an extremely favorable br, when it should be at 14.3 with R77-1 and not facing F18C early in down tiers.
It’s a 4++ generation fighter jet, with good flight performance, a good loadout, decent radar; it should be facing off against ll F-18C late and F-16CM Block 52 .
You are stretching the boundaries of balance in this game beyond the breaking point.
so Germans should have buffs to their 3-4 ranks because they have terrible wirates. muh panther and tiger obliterate shermans and t-34 not well enough maaaan
speaking of AIR, when will we have million of buffs given to Rafale pushed back because they were completely made up? same with EF’s flight model. Rafale was stomping toptier for how long before su-30 gathered emergency thrust and flight model buff? and still is strong to kill anything within 10 km, or 15 even if enemy is f-15 or other american rail-driver
at top tier you have M1, Leo2a7, Type 10 and cry about THESE things.
massive skill issue. i don’t even talk about pig-29K which has good FM only at 110% thrust which overheats fast af and even more- soon might be nerfed, so plane goes out mid (c) as it was with other migs.
continues to have recompression problems.
Putting AIM-120D missiles, which are powerful, on a fighter jet that will face 13.0 to 13.7 missiles continues to be a terrible idea.
Like EF…
Any other modifications made to any other vehicle would require an amount of evidence.
The drama surrounding SepV3 is a good example of this, or the number of countermeasures in J15T and J10C.
When Rafael was out of control it was terrible, it was also a serious balancing problem.
The addition of EF AESA, Gripen E, SU30SM2, and AIM120D was crucial in restoring the balance of the AirRB.
Air RB’s situation is much healthier and more sustainable than GRB’s.
The MiG-29K should be 14.3 with R77-1, because it will cause many problems in the down tiers.
It makes no sense for the most modern Russian naval aircraft to be a 13.7 and use a much older loadout than in IRL; it’s supposed to be the top dog of the Russian naval line.
The Schrödinger’s Russia, in this case Schrödinger’s Soviet Union in the War Thunder ecosystem. It’s a MiG-29 with better engine and respectable countermeasure count, it doesn’t have crazy ground ordinances nor it has some new explosive toy for air combat, remains the same as most of other vehicles in Soviet Union top tier, Su-30SM2 probably will stay performing better considering the MiG-29 airframe I don’t expect it to be nothing but a new and highly expected plane. T-90M (Arena-M) won’t change nothing, in fact maybe make it worse with the absence of the 4S24 “Egg cantons” which was the case of the T-72B3 and T-72B3A.
no it’s not. in fact, 12+ air is after NATO jets, especially sim. 13+ is russian meta with some exceptions. 14+ is currently a circus on a circus, but NATOids are competitive enough, until it’s some weird f-16, but it’s mostly due to iron doming. in general air wasn’t russian before new year flanker buff by any means, and still has controversies. only BRs on Ground which i maybe could call Russian are 9.3, 10.7 to 11.3, again with some nuances. top tier is not Russian again, because other nations get reta…stong MBTs and BMPT gets nerfed soon, in CAS department we have more and more F-15s or Typhoons with bunch of guided bombs and Abrams gets crucial fix for it’s turret ring while dogwater armor on russian turres or their reloads are unfixable and there are no even fake documents for that. mig-29 has mig-29 flight model so it doesn’t have any place above 13.3 i’d say, but armament kinda compensates. real solution for air battles is decompression and it was for like year already, but company of cool girls would not do that because “muh diversity and feel of supermacy”
is it? basically every top tier is 12.7 regardless of differences between the vehicles, and I feel there are more drastic differences than a tank with an APS that wont make a significant difference
Why not just give the MiG-29K the Zhuk-AE, R-77-1 and move it to 14.3? It’ll be nice for downtiers to play with, but the same cannot be said when against it
We already have Su-30SM2 flying around with an incorrect radar, might as well continue on with the “it’s planned but no real proof it’s implemented yet” theme we’ve got going on
