They should activate the Su-27 and 33. Allow Germany and Italy to join with their MiG-29 and China with J-11. Maybe limit Su-27 to only R-27R for balance.

At least giving USSR the Su-27 would even things out in my opinion. Gives more variety to that side and plus there’s probably more people who own that plane than the MiG-29s

I just enable EU and NA servers, enable “join battles in progress” and I can get into US side on 10 seconds max.
Russian is of course like 3 seconds max
(on lower BR bracket)
If I do that, I can’t play because of the ping. The lowest ping server for me is the American one with 130-150 ping, while on the European server I get 180-200+ ping.
180-200 ping isnt bad at all, way better than 1 hour queue times imo.
I guess you just have to pick your poison, wait a long time or lag abit
Thats not bad by my standarts
It’s not bad, it’s terrible.
There are some games that I play with 11 to 9 ping, playing below 100 ping makes an absurd difference.
not even close.
for warthunder terrible is 300+ . You’ll still be able to fly, multipath and gun people down with 200 ping.
300 ping is where you start falling to the ground

su27 is cracked, it will certainly be Op in this mode with the amount of noobs flying around.
if variety is your problem, why not advocate for more nations to join instead of breaking the balance once more?

people just teleport at +300 ping
It’s actually the PL spike that brutally mauls you like a pitbull
and then $h#ts over your corpse with a crewlock

The player base for this game is easily satisfied.
You’re satisfied with crumbs.
The performance of missiles and bombs is drastically affected by ping.
The netcode is probably ripped from a pirated CS 1.6 copy, so don’t expect much.

Yeah, the Mig-29 is ridiculously strong.
Easy win.
Can’t do that as well with USA’s Mig-29 equivalent F-15A, but it does get close.
F-14s aren’t as good as Mig-29 for this game mode.
IR-only aircraft are pointless.
Su-33 would make the already strong Soviets OP; USA has no equivalent to Su-33 for this game mode.
would you rather have a 1.8 second latency or 1 hour queue times?
Also a smidge confused as to why the lower braket is F4E vs MiG23MLD, it really feels quite unfair, F4E radar is helpless in a mode like this where everybody hugs the ground, the lack of PD really hurts it.
But IDK, maybe im missing something

I’ve already had the experience of playing on the European server while traveling in Europe. Playing with less than 100 ping is a completely different gaming experience.
When I play League of Legends, I have a ping of 9. When I’m on other servers outside my home country (Brazil) on the same continent, I have a ping of 30 to 50. Even on the North American server, I have less than 100 ping. I don’t know why the ping in War Thunder is so high and why they don’t invest in more regions with more servers.

Holy ragebait.
This must be why US has 400 players queuing but russia only has 10.
Us has F14B, F15A, F18A and C all of which are definitely equivalents to the Mig29

Yes, I prefer it; 1.8 latency makes your gaming experience miserable.
It’s better to play one decent match than several miserable ones.
i think they should change F4E to F4J or F4S
F-4J vs Mig-23MLDs as well.
But people aren’t trying that as much.
F-4J/S is the only PD radar radar missile slinger in the lower bracket tho, which is hilarious.
@Kingskofi
That’s why Mig-29 has an equivalent in USA: F-15A.
Su-33 is far better than F-18A, Su-33 is better than F-14B; so it can’t be added.
And in this game mode that prioritizes BVR, F-15A doesn’t have R-27ERs to be anywhere nearly as strong as Su-33.
This is the one time I’m defending Soviet aircraft, cause you’re blatantly claiming R-27ER is mid, which it is not. 6x R-27ERs is not comparable to 4 AIM-7s from a good radar, or 6 from F-4J/14 radars, 6x R-27s is blatantly superior in this radar missile focused game mode.
