I’m not! I went to a 7.0 BR battle and saw a T-55. But it could have been a T-54 I can’t remember. Either way I don’t want to see Cold War tanks fighting World War II tanks.

Honestly, even 11.0 wouldn’t be a stretch (See Mig-23MF). You get basically no RWR, a giga-nerfed FM and only 4 all aspect IR missiles. Not to mention that the F-104S should go down to 10.7, especially after the massive FM nerf (Granted its missiles are rear aspect only).

Because it’s used on more aircraft? I have to say. If the 9M is this upsetting, I can’t imagine what the reaction will be when first gen 9Xs start coming to the game. And I vividly remember many of players in this forum saying the 9M was going to be garbage compared to everything else. I’m sorry, as I’m not trying to be an arse, but to me (as someone who enjoys and plays sim the most) it’s just not the threat you are making it on any airframes it’s on.

The phoenix missiles are okay at best now. Definitely not good enough that the F-14A needs to go up, and unless the B model is getting 9Ms, it doesn’t need to go higher than the Su-27 in any capacity. And in no way am I ever going to support removing the only defensive means the A-10s have just to keep them viable in Air RB. “You don’t get a major part of your kit” is truly an asinine take. Apologies but it is.

These proposals are less about balancing and come across more as (again) “let’s just make two thirds of the US’s top tier weak”.

Forget Aim-9X. I cant wait for the cope threats about ASRAAM or IRIS-T :D

I’m sure they’re going to stomp. Just like the 27ER did for the longest time.

This is the thing tho, do you not think all of the Su-25’s would be so much more fun to play, less frustrating to play against, and easier to spade if they were at the mid-BR’s for jets, like 8.7-9.3, where your airframe is actually comprable to the other jets around you, and you are a gun plane, just for the air modes? I would massively prefer this campared to how things are currently

ZTZ99A/WZ1001(E)/VT4A1 11.7->11.0
Reason: Poor protection, slowest reload time, only 577mm shell penetration. especially wz1001, gaijin did adjust the model of ztz-99a, but wz1001 with exactly same structure as ZTZ-99a still stay the same. Also recently, the main armor of the ZTZ99A was weakened by 200KE, makes the remodeling even meaningless and GAIJIN did not come up with any reason. Reload time is also not real at all, the CCTV China has already post the video of ZTZ99a reload which is about 5seconds. But what gaijin did seems that they just think Chinese tanks are only terrible imitation of RUS tanks. But China has improved lots of technologies on their own, and every parts on ZTZ-99A is completely invented by China itself, which has nothing related to Russia at all. They’d either make everything as same as what has published in real world or be responsible for what they’ve done. This is not an emotionally charged report, but a fact. Think about it! If you’ve ever played with the tanks of the Chinese faction, you’ll think I’m right.

The issue with the 9M is that you see it on much lower BR than what you would see the AIM-9X at making its smokeless motor even more deadlier. At a BR that the 9X would be at, most fights would be at BVR while you can see the 9M on non BVR capable aircraft

Air RB, J-35A . 9.7 > anything below. Reasoning = J-35A struggles massive at 9.7, Lack of flares and good missiles, constant uptiers to 10.0+ with lack of flares is unbearable. I will admit the turn rate is good and the guns can be powerful at times but to use the turn rate means draining speed MASSIVELY. Acceleration is also quite bad so when you drop like 400mph in 1 turn, it takes you a decade to get back up to the speed you were at.

Well… it depends on how they are modeled. I can see them being a buggy mess at 1/10th IRL performance for the sake of balance or something. Like ASRAAM having the same range as R-74s because the devs cant see how the Brits made a missile with greater range than the R-74. (Like they did with teh Stingers)

But yeah… The “Tornado Gr4 has ASRAAM at 13.0 is unfair and so my Su-24 at 11.3 should get R-74s for balance” posts are going to be funny to laugh at

It is still unbeatable in a dogfight and has insane speed and acceleration compared to everything else.

Or MICA IR (60km range hmmmm)[also need to fix MICA-EM range from 50 to 80km,…]

First of all no, I’m not a Soviet over all person. I enjoy balance, if you actually looked at my stat card I play a lot of Italy and the USA too.

  1. IRCM doesn’t allow you to be brain dead and avoid all incoming aams.
  2. Vikhirs are very easy to dodge with a single turn, and have a heat jet you can see far easier than any aim-9m (not to mention if you head on these planes, knowing what they are, that’s kinda on you, and not everyone carries Vikhirs because it weighs the planes turn time down)
  3. You can actually use the agms on the A-10C to kill aircraft.
  4. They are both rather Tanky, they’re strike fighters…
    5.”better flight performance” why because they’re faster by 200 mph?
  5. The A10C has a wayy bigger ammo count.
  6. Radar! Yes RADAR THATS PINGS THE EMEMY RWR, the HMD IFF does not ping rwr.
  7. You do understand I made the Su-24 post because the A-10C is so unbalanced, that it literally upset an entire br range? The last time that happened was the F-14…
  8. Of course I made a post about the fox, it’s unbalanced at 7.7, and is super super easy to play, I will make more posts in the future for USSR, Germany, etc, if they’re vehicles are blatantly broken.

Yep and those. But its french… So… will be the easiest to flare and will take 2 years for the TVC to work.

Good god, I remember that devblog. “Soviet engineers couldn’t imagine how Western engineers could make a better missiles with roughly the same area so everything will be set to the Soviet standard”. Jesus, I remember that.

ARB, F-4J(UK) Phantom II. 12.0 > 11.7. That plane have a wother radar, and anti air missilses than F-4J Phantom II from USA tree. One exception is missilses skyflash (Dogfight), but with the bad radar that missilse hard to use effectively (And the same for other British Phantoms). Another way to solve this problem is upgrade the radars on british phantoms.

Sadly,…

Still not fixed, even after about a dozen more reports submitted for it. Its like the Alumnium armour on the CR2s. Once gaijin makes up some information and puts it in the dev post. It cannot be undone, Even with multiple primary sources
