I don’t think that’s the case, they’re just being incompetent as usual… Let’s give them a chance cuz this is the 1st day of the update, but yes, that was a gigantic miscalculation at best…
Why do they always mess up USSR aircraft then? Not the F-16C or the F-15? But always the SMTs and Su-27s?
the fulcrum got gigabuffed in terms of performance at the start of the year too, if i’m not mistaken, there was a time that it could outrate the f16 with flaps… Also don’t forget when the russians had the MLD and the americans had f4s, there’s no bias towards any nation tbh
The F-16 and F-15 are also messed up
I had no problem both 1 circling and 2 circling the MİG-29s obliterating them in terms of FM in My F-15J today , will play more once I come back from UNİ.
You mean F-16s are messed up by being too good? I’d prefer that to being messed up and overnerfed :)
Don’t get me wrong, words cannot describe how pissed i am at this shit, i’m heavily considering uninstalling the game because of so many flaws that they can’t fix and the game is ALWAYS incorrect, i’m just trying to keep rational, it’s very hard to do so rn tho lmao

I used to believe gaijin was neutral , impartial , but now after years have passed and I have grown up I can see they are not. I was 16 when I started this game I’m 22 now. I can kind of understand how businesses work now.
Money= EU + USA . So? They focus on those. Maybe they are impartial, neutral, but they just care about the source of money which is western stuff , so they prioritise those.
Btw my premium time is ending, i have 5 days remaining, maybe this is a sign of God xD

Christmas sale is close , don’t forget to buy on sale
No, the F-16’s and F-15’s radars are underperforming and the FM’s are overperforming… other various issues. These issues are not solely on the Russian planes. Everyone has issues.
MLD vs F-4s was not as egregious as F-14 vs MLD, nor did it last as long. People also forget just how long the F-4E was unquestionably dominant prior to that. The Soviets had the best aircraft for a grand total of 6 months between two periods of complete US dominance each lasting around a year.

F-14A literally killed the game for 6 months
GJ always does this remember. The Mig21Bis came out with R60s that went for every flare so everyone would buy the Harriers. The Mig23M came out like crap so everyone would go for the Chinese J7E. It later got the R13M1 and even R60Ms etc. The MLD came out thereafter.
Mig29 like utter dog crap first came out and they had to buff the model and give R27ER.
They always hit the Soviets hard and then mid patch bring them up. I personally believe for sales and hype then they equalize the meta.

This never happened to SMT, the “buff” part, and now we have a SU-27 with copy paste Mig-29 9.13 radar lol, when every source calls the radar state of the art. İn game it’s copy paste
lol I knew u were gonna bring it up. You right.
Flares?

The MLD stomped the Tomcats into the ground for a while, American pilots are just that bad. The F-4E was never dominant.
Got killed in-game for 6 months*
SMT was never “nerfed”. It performs on par with the other MiG-29s when total weight is equal. You could argue it is overperforming because there is no change in center of gravity despite change in radar, fuel tank locations, etc.

The single saving grace as a Sim player was how unbelievably bad the average US heavy fighter pilot is, a player with any knowledge of what they were doing could shut an entire server down singlehandedly

I wanna play SU-27 in SIM so bad , but , invisible missiles. Hell no. You don’t see it even if it’s in 90* headon.
Missile firing button is operated by a single hand, yes… but don’t forget the throttle control. Let’s not be hasty.
