Like I said, slow response combined with an incentive not to. (Also Gaijin can’t code missile PIDs we already know that, see literally every IR missile in the game at close range)
Once Gaijin decides to throw it back to the Soviets (Probably with SU-27 since 6x R27ER or possibly even R77 is going to be meta defining) they’ll see their fixes added.
You’ll see , Su-27 will be artificially hampered, it will lose to an F-16 in 1 and 2 circle, and they won’t let it carry full load. İt’s never the American planes that don’t get their loadout.
Mig-29 had to use garbage worse than trash R-60s for a whole year.
I still HATEEEEEEEE mixed matches , kills the vibe , fighting identical planes isn’t fun , what’s fun is the asymmetry. Also I think GAIJIN does this so people don’t realise how oppressive the US teams would be at top tier AİR RB. İf US fought everyone else (because there are so many us players) people would see how high WR USA is
They had like 90% wr on apex predators launch day. 12 f16s insta GE’d (probably spaded with GE as well) against hordes of 23MLs and maybe after 1 week, 1-2 mig29s with a broken FM, radar, and shit ordenance
USSR didn’t have any rank 8 CAS so they said screw it have 2 questionably useful a2g missiles instead of adding something that would actually be capable of CAS. There must’ve been SOMETHING they could have added for USSR CAS at rank 8 but nothing goes together better than Gaijin and glaring tech tree omissions
There is a 110% chance the F-14 was only released because they wanted to capitalize on Top Gun
More like adapted, the F-14 was introduced into a game that was wholly unready for it from the top down
As far as I’ve been able to determine they never actually made a home-grown targeting pod for the SMT? I’ve heard that one might have been fitted with a French system but let’s be honest getting your targeting system supplied by a NATO nation was never going to go well.
How did they plan on actually aiming the KH-29TD (or whatever it was called IRL) on the SMT?
Russia uses a lot of thermal stuff from France so it wouldn’t be surprising. I mean they gave germany missiles they never had so at this point even a mock up makes more sense
Not the ka52, still busted as hell. But vikhrs are less effective against planes. Kind of annoying that manpads are dogshit (Well no access to r74m either)
