I don’t think R-27ER should have been added, I’ll just put that on the table first.
As it stands, R-27R would’ve been more or less the same but a bit worse than AIM-7M. Largely because the planes that carry them have worse radars for whatever reason.
If we took R-27ER from Su-27 we’d have to put it down in BR, even after JAS39 goes up in BR like it damn well should.
So, for the moment, it’s a type of “asymmetrica balance” good missile bad radar vs worse missile and good radar.
im gonna be hoenest the R-27ER doesnt need a buff its currently the best BVR missile in game, if it did get a buff they would most likely have to up the BR on a lot of aircraft that can carry it
Yeah of course. Though remember it got a buff from 30g to 35g coupled with a massive change to its overall burn time and other stuff? Basically gutted its ability to retain energy on net. More Gs wouldn’t necessarily help it IMHO.
Mostly it’s a matter about principles. Implement what there is evidence for, but also space in the game, if something is too disruptive, find a substitute. Fudging numbers for balance isn’t my preferred way, yet it’s one of Gaijin’s apparent ways.
yeah no I dont get why they do that, in some ways it makes sense others it doesnt, like them refusing to give stingers their IRL G limit even though it would barley change much in game
Why is this myth/lie still around. It’s been disproven so many times by now. They already had plans to add the ADF to the US tree in that update if it was ready in time.
??? If Gszabi posts something in a server where it’s publicly available, kinda ridiculous to then ask that it don’t be leaked. Anyone can join the server.
That there’s not enough specific data on how Stinger/Mistral work to significantly differ them from Igla, so they assume they’re close enough to Igla since they have specific data on it.
