Nuclear Thunder!

so you mean to tell me Russias radars are dogwater compared to US jets

I also only run IR missiles since they’re more efficient but in an uptier against 12.7 jets it’s nearly impossible with their turn rate

yeah lol, at least for the mig23s they absolutely are

Will it be possible to Re-enable Russian And US aircraft from other nations as well?
Like F15J or F16s from other nations, since the problem was with the balance of different unique Aircrafts why not allow already allowed aircrafts but from different nations ? This will drastically reduce the Queue times of Higher tiers

I’m not even going to bother grinding russia, the amount of skill it probably needs for radar useage isn’t worth the squeeze for this event when the IR missile are just fine. I rarely went up against f18s and definitely not f15as but after purchasing this premium I can see why the queues are bad up their if you don’t have 12.7 jets.

ah i have no clue about the ml vs the mld

It most likely won’t reduce que time at all. Might make it even more worse

i said this way earlier in the thread yester day but USSR missiles > US missiles and US radars > USSR radars (except f4e)

aye i believe you man, all I’m going to say to folks isn’t don’t buy premium mig-23ml for the event it’s 100% not worth it.

How come ? since you will only be adding more players and aircrafts,
I’m not saying sort it by nation it can just be the Regular USA vs USSR but just adding other vehicles like in Sim battles Planes don’t get Mixed up and everyone is happy since more nations can join and not everyone has Grinded USSR or USA to enjoy the event especially when you’re used to Top tier in other nations.
I’m sure more players would like to join in and more players means less queue times, since people like both USSR and USA top tier vehicles

yeah, its not even about skill, you cant skill a longer range radar into existence lol.
compared to the mig23ml’s locked 60x6 degree, 30km range mti radar, which has a massive acm mode and can only engage its mti when looking down,
the f4j has a 120x8,120x3 and 30x5 degree search setting, 370km search range, 93km lock range, a tight acm box, a hmd do you don’t need to point at your enemy to lock, both of which have a 19km range (mig has 9km), and at any time the pilot can swap to the pulse dopplar mode, which is much better than mti at discerning ground clutter and chaff, the pilot can also hot swap off of pd when the enemy begins a notch, all for the downside of 3x the radar missiles of the mig23.

I support this because it gives better data on what the actual game would look like as this event

I hate to say it but based on what you’re telling me I have to fly UPSIDE down to get a good low at low altitude?

Ah, I misunderstood you, my bad. Well that would definitely reduce que time and also balance the event

just nose down but yeah, if you want to lock head on

I think what they mean is to just Tilt your radar downwards to engage MTI , you know you can manually control the position of the radar

if there is a target above you that pd would lock easier than regular radar, you have to nose down and use the massive acm box to lock them. its dumb
pd filters out chaff, reg radar wont, if you pitch up they will win any missile joust

“Let me load a radar into your mig but by the way you need to be nose down” I never believed in russian bias but this is just adds to the list of gajin not having it

I’m going to see if I get a refund but if I don’t I’m going to have to learn a whole new concept of air again just for this jet sucks to suck

welcome to the club, Russian bias becomes increasingly more silly the more you actually play russia.

Don’t you love planes with such quirks (ofc we don’t)
even the F14 IRAF only has a absolutely awful SRC that picks up every clutter available but also has access to TWS HDN but as soon as a plane decides to change directions you lose your lock and making the AIm7s and R27Rs pretty Terrible to use

I play a ton of russian ground never played air except for strike aircraft in US tech tree and honestly, it just shows US is OP in the right hands of a okay player for ARB. This event has made me interested in playing ARB but man I there’s so much to learn
