Ka-52 was made immune to IR missiles in 2023, it was never Russian bias.
IR AA is the least popular SPAA at top BR since 2019.
Mig-29 has the worst flight performance of any jet in game relative to what it should be.
There are zero bugs that benefit Russia, for one Russia doesn’t even exist in War Thunder, and there are zero bugs that benefit Soviets.
ERA is not over-performing in War Thunder at all. Relikt is 54mm against APFSDS when flat. Kontakt 1 is the worst ERA in the game.
IFVs are chronically average.
The fact your post implies AIM-9X is incorrect from your wrong CS5 statement is wild.
Pantsir is still bad against top CAS.
@tensilaspider Ka-50 is a higher BR than NATO equivalents. Rooivalk is the same BR as Ka-50 despite being notably superior in weapons, optics, and agility.
2S38 was already uptiered.
Kh-38 planes are not at 2S38’s BR, thus it’s not a useful way to spawn those.
The 2S25M is vastly superior to 2S38, especially for CAS getting. And obviously all 10.3 MBTs are superior to 2S38.
“Back when they were added” The ka50 ruled the skies for a time, Which is probably one of the major parts that played into the Russian bias everyone says now.
Same with the 2s38 before the addition of the advanced modules. Br wise, eh, it can hold its own at basically any br if played right.
Think theres a bit of a misunderstanding for your kh38 comment. Its still the best atg missile in the game paired with the best spaa at the time for 2 years and (I know it was still trash, but it was still the best out of everyones) And people frequently bring the 2s38 to top tier if they dont have the 25. (It also gets the airstrike mod, which makes the br point negligible sense sp reduction doesn’t diminish by br/rank.)
(Im asuming this is all for my comment at 2493? {Reply count})
Ka-50 ruled PVP yes, but that’s just due to proxy on a missile.
Ka-50 ruled for 1 month in my ground before S13s were removed and given 200SP penalty for bringing them.
2S38 was OP at 9.7, and so were most if not all auto-lights when introduced.
2S38 almost got me a nuke because of how busted it was, and where it is now I feel it’s perfectly average.
People learned how to deal with it.
Also the best SPAA that couldn’t even frag competent LGBU CAS for over a year, and it still can’t frag F-16Cs using Mavericks.
It is, please explain how the IR Jammer impacts the UV channel that the POST seeker equipt Stingers use for guidance? or how a 60 watt Jammer is supposed to defeat an IIR missile that needs about 63kW to be delivered to damage the seeker.
Also while you’re at it, can you explain why Gaijin have sat of the series of accepted reports relating to the overhaul of the Stinger for more than a year now?
It’s more so that it benefits from systems that were previously (and somewhat arbitrarily) exclusive to Russian vehicles due to developmental fiat.
It’s not as if there were options to add similar systems to the AH-64, that have yet to occur, and it’s not like they couldn’t use the help in finding some useful niche to occupy, the AH-1Z at least had Sidewinders, and a gun with a high fire rate.
Why would I?
Ka-52 was defeating IR missiles since 2023 in-game.
That is a statement of fact, not my opinion nor what I think should occur as I have no opinion on what I think should occur for that’s not my realm of expertise.
So take it from the one that wrote said report(s), the performance is erroneous in game and is waiting on gaijin to implement the changes that would make it far less of an issue for missiles with an optical guidance channel (and those that should have one, like the, MIM-72G, FIM-92B and later variants of the Stinger).
The ircm on the Russian helis barely work if at all lol. Where do you get that it works at all? I’ve been killed by more stingers than anything in helis, or planes.
My stance on LDIRCM capability against at least IRIS-T is the same as your’s.
Against older missiles that’ll be up for me to learn more.
@UniqueScorpions-live
It’s possible that when Stingers got photo-contrast? code that they started working against DIRCM, I however didn’t test during that time and the only Kamov I fragged in Type 81 was a Ka-50.
This would depend on the sensor, and the detector material, Russia can definitely produce an array with the correct sensitivities to detect a projectile while it’s motor was burning and / or it was supersonic. but I’d need to know more about the specific installation, and its a different matter entirely if they could keep it functional in service.
For these systems, all it would really care about is if it is tracking the aircraft it is attached to, which can be resolved by assessing apparent angular rate as Constant Bearing, Decreasing range, can freely be assumed to hold for practically all relevant IR guided threats (potentially an exception for the MICA-IR or ASRAAM, due to known advanced guidance algorithms). and jamming success can be determined again by an increase in apparent angular rate.
Well if it’s wired into the RWR, it’s a simple step be able to see if the IR track corresponds to a emission signature, and further the spike’s current mode indicates that a missile might be guiding.
Another thing is that there is no limitation the projected waveform (and the optimal, effective waveform itself depends on the threat) between, Coherent (laser / active) and Incoherent(omni directional / passive) systems. The fact that gaijin thinks they work differently isn’t actually based on anything other than “gaming conventions”.
The only difference is the amount of radiated power and thus effective range of the system, simply due to the fact that the laser concentrates the radiated power into a much smaller zone, which is cued by whatever sensors.
Also it’s pretty blatant that the President-S should only work against 1st, 2nd & 3rd gen threats.
