R73 & R27 Launch Timing and keeping lock according to the Flight Manual

Keep it balanced every missiles can be OP in its own why. You can’t compare a r3r with a r27 but a aim 7m with a r27

Some more interesting details, launch angle limits are not present in game. From the Manual:

SUV is weapons control systems.

You can compare and result will be kinda same: R-27ER will be better in all/most stats, but smaller gap

Radar limitations way funnier than thiss stuff

R27ER has a range restriction of 2km or more.

Yes you can.
Personally i think as much as possible in game should be as accurate as possible to real life and balancing should be done with BR changes.
I don’t like the idea of “nerfing” or “buffing” weapons/munitions just for balance to make them more equal, if they aren’t equal in real life they shouldn’t be in game either.

Have you made a report on the issues site?
That is where it’s supposed to go, posting here on the forum won’t get things changed.

Good luck for su-27 players, when they cant bank over 90, just because radar will loss a lock

I don’t think there is any radar in game that has the capability to aim 90 degrees of the nose.

not 90 degrees off the nose, if you bank the aircraft more than 90 degrees it loses lock.

Also according to the manual for the BVR stuff or like the R27ER you must hold the target aircraft inside the confines of the HUD (not the HMD).

No, when you will roll to 90 degrees and target just in front - radar will loss a lock.
Thats different thing

Theres also limitations that you cant re start CW, DNP(datalink with missile). So, no “stealth” shots like you can do in wt

British AiM-9L had twice the range of the regular 9Ls because they modified the seeker

They did not, it was rail that was modified

Oh, so you mean “roll”. I got the term banking confused with a banking turn. my bad.

Edit, that also sounds like a bug more than anything else.

There was changes like a 9Li, so, yes.
9M have similar range as Brittish modified 9L

If you want a simulator go make your own. War Thunder is a game which is made to mke money. Balancing with buffing and nerfing is a part of it. Or do you want that a su 27 is at 12.7 because of it weapon limitations?

SU-27 we have in game is the Crimea addition deployed in 2014 to Crimea. It should be 13.7 with the others. The fact that it cannot fire missiles when banked more than 50 degrees and loses radar lock when banked more than 90 degrees is a limitation that should be in game. They didn’t give the P51 Hollywood style dog fighting because its unrealistic. Why give the Su-27 we have in game which is less than 10 years old some fictional performance? They claim “realistic” models. Are they lying?

You do know that they only make changes to vehicles and weaponry based on historical documents right?
And that there is a SIM mode in war thunder right?

The only thing i know of that is used as a nerf/buff (in the way you describe it) is reload times (and more recently adding munitions to top tier to even things out).

This is an instruction manual, not rocket technical data. So the pilot can fire the missiles one after another, it is entirely in his hands
