It didn’t take much effort, might seem like it did because Ziggy was in here causing trouble and spewing nonsense. Those reports took very little turn around time.
I can’t seem to get it to rip like y’all are claiming. It’s good up to 12G’s so far.
Reports might have took little time but Gaijin took sweet amount of time to fix SMT.
Main issue is the ripping itself, it should not be ripping its own wings, if G limit is the main issue then they can just simply limit the amount of G we can pull in order to prevent this just like how they did to Draken.
I’d wait before the patch drops… so far MiG-29G and F-16C still seem to be the kings. Maybe the Su-27 will have a bigger impact in live matches with the load out it has but since 99% of the kills are IR missiles this is not a given
In US doctrine tactical and strategic mean two very different things in how the military is structured perhaps the person you’re arguing with is confused and think it applies the same way to Soviet / Russian doctrine?
In actuality, the two programs for the MiG-29 and Su-27 were both “tactical fighters”, but was split into “light” and “heavy” and that’s about all there is to it. Neither are “strategic” by any means.
