Its Sim, you pick exactly what maps and matchups you want to join. If you join a game where you are at a disadvantage, thats entirely on you. And last i checked France has the best F-16, not japan dumbass
Edit: lmao butthurt flag more
Which have never been the problem with the eastern radars. Their problems are scan pattern and time, which cant be fixed due to their innate construction. The F-15s radar is also a soviet fantasy, a shadow of its reality.
Again people arguing over nothing. No matter how long you keep fanboying over blue side, reality is that until red side gets fixed you ll find it hard to find matches or accomplish anything in those matches due to not finding enemies, or even worse, getting TK in the furball where 3 blues all try to score on 1 red.
Is it fun to do sky tourism in war thunder instead of fighting ?
Is it fun to do lobby simulator instead of actually playin?
Come on. Many times I open wt I am forced to play red because there are no lobbies for blue available. It s stupid.

Which ones ? Are you sure they are allways on red team ? I guess you are talking japan, and they go often with USA …
Same, I would like to fly everything, but I end flying red most of the time, hard to spade planes in USA, UK and Israel. The moment I see a match were i can join blue and it’s not too unbalanced, I join.
That’s another problem, sometimes you can join lobbies where there are +3 players in blue team, I guess it’s a bug
Even with not nerfed engine, that’s for a 1 vs 1, it’s not posible on WT most of the time. Once you launch the 27ER you have to keep lock, and you are an easy prey for other players …
And the trick of unlocking and locking later would be if the radar was decent, with a normal Mig29 you can’t do that, maybe you don’t find the same target later, IDK if the Su27 radar is better, didn’t play it yet

Maybe, but exact states what was degraded - i cant find them, mostly states like just export
Getting spikes even a few times in N of time - already not good.
Well, maybe theres few rotations like that, but mostly jp against us, not in team.
Su-27 radar is near to just upscaling MiG-29 radar
Right now:
Less than half.
I see, 42% percent of matches is something negligeable for you XD

In game where you can select what do you want - it not really matter
And what about top tier?
I heard rumors that Japan has a not so bad F-15, but I understand that can be overseen easily when you are busy with insulting people the whole day.
Sure I can wait for hours for a matchup that fits my “red OP desires”, but that’s not the solution to the problem.
A healthy game should be somewhat balanced, so all nations can have fun and find games.
And this stupid “red skill issue” discussion is complete bullshit either. There is no skill issue on one side.
There are good and bad players in WT and most play aircraft from both sides anyway.
Normally you have 1-4 good players per team and the rest is fighting gravity more than anything else…
And when one team has 3 good players dominating the skies, while the other has only one or none, they leave. On both sides.

Just best, yes.
AAM-4 is better now
AAM-3 also
There are 5 games currently available for me in top tier for “Red Side”.
2 of them have Japan on the Red side. And those games have France + Sweden on the Blue side.
There are 51 total players in top tier sim games by my count.
4 of them are playing Japan.
The Japanese F-15C and the French F-16AM are a non-factor in top tier matches for most people. You will never be facing them together. Whenever Japan is on the Red Side…France and Sweden will be on the Blue side.

EXACTLY
The problem arises because when a blue player leaves there is another blue queueing to take his place, while when a red player leaves there is nobody to take his place, and that s the problem that leads to bs lobbies 12v2 and stuff like that.
This was the reason why I opened this thread and not to see which side has the longest dong

Yes, but that still fact that blue side have worser version in half of cases/smth like that.
Looking at the nation line-ups that aren’t excluding entire nations (like USA, GB vs only Japan), it’s set up in a way where:
USA, Israel and Britain is always on blue team
Russia, China and Germany is always on red team
The best USA, Israel and Britain has to offer at top-tier is:
F15C, F16C, F16D and Gripen
The best Russia, China and Germany has to offer at top-tier is:
F4F-ICE, Flanker, and to top it all off, an even worse Flanker that can’t even identify RWR signals.
You see no balance issues here?
The outliers are Sweden, France, Japan and Italy. These 4 make up a small portion of the player base and can be on either team. However they are not that meaningful to balance due to the very small player-count and the inconsistency of them also being on blue-team.
Assuming that you’re talking about the Japanese F15C and the French F16AM (which by the way is inferior to the F16C in the current meta). You are incorrect in the assessment that red side has both of these jets on their side, since Japan and France are never on the same team. Blue side however, does have all of the meta jets on their team. Every single game. In the most played nations in the game.
The reports are on a narrower scan (40° instead of 50°), and fixing of the top-bottom double scans. I’m referring to acquisition time when I’m talking about “effectiveness”.

It is true.

I don’t have info on what precisely was downgraded, only confirmation that the RPLK-27E indeed had reduced capabilities, this could range from lower radar transmitter power all the way to a cheaper synchro unit.
There is nothing stating that you get pinged several times in a given period of time. According to MiG-29 crews, the RWR self-pinging would only ever occur if the radar links are severed and therefore the synchronization unit can no longer perform it’s job. I don’t know specifics about NATO RWR, but I assume such an issue could appear too if the radar and RWR synchronization units stopped working, the only difference here is that the Soviet manual mentions that there is a possibility of this occuring.
