Oh well, if that had been the case, gaijin wouldn’t have taken an entire year just to give the su27 the resemblance of a flight model.
And the Mig29 probably wouldn’t be as dogshit as it is currently

ok, but this isnt overpowered as I said, as it was never 100%, just doable on good angles, and it didnt make t-34-85 OP, it only matters if it upsets balance. That is what I am referring to
I think the hidden slope modifiers that suspiciously only applied to the Russian 85mm shells, combined with the APHE having a particularly potent effect (e.g. a big ball of doom that wipes out the interior) all conspired to make the 85mm REALLY egregious. Oh, and the drivers hatch that would eat shells and vanish them into nothing.
Not quite ‘whoops - this IS-6 turret has an extra 200mm of invisible armour on the front’ levels of OP. However, it’s left a long-lasting impression on players that Gaijin are not always as even-handed as their advocates claim…
In that time period, the R-27ER single handedly dominated any and all BVR engagements, also single handedly creating the multipathing meta of 2023-2024, i don’t want to hear it lmao

So those planes are not allowed to have a proper flight model?
This doesn’t really give the full picture… multipathing was so easy it made the meta focused on IR missiles… R27ER being the best SARH missile didn’t push it into a higher meta than any decent IR missile

And that meta IRCCM meta was gone for quite a few months before the flight model was fixed too.
The same time period where 100m multipath was a thing?
The same time period where the best plane in the game was the gripen with just IR missiles?
Dying to any radar missile in that time period was nothing but natural selection
Instead of coping about russian bias, why don’t you complain about the rafale which has been the most overpowered thing ever for 9 months straight

If you look into my posting history, I’m equally critical of the rafale, if not more so.
However you glazed over my entire point surrounding the procedure of buffing/nerfing russian vehicles being problematic, and dragged me into an unrelated argument, of which you got an answer you didn’t like
Helicopters: AH-60, AH-64E, Tiger, etc are superior.
Light tank: CV90120, HSTVL, VT-5 are the best light tanks in the game. 2S38 is drastically inferior.
CAS: IR AGMs aren’t meta due to new SPAA added months ago.
SAM: Pantsir is garbage. New SPAA is good.
USA and China aren’t Russians.
Oh look, proof Kh-38 carriers are still cooked: Thank you Excalibur for proving that new SPAA is better.
T-55AMs are 0.3 - 0.7 BRs higher than NATO equivalents.
Object 279 is 0.3 BR higher than NATO equivalent.
T-34-85s are at the same BR as NATO equivalents.
IS-4M is the same BR as NATO equivalents.
KV-1s are the same BR as NATO equivalents.
Kevin hasn’t defended nor notably played “Russia”… He’s also a Japan, German, and China main. His highest rank Soviet vehicle is a Mig-17 and Mig-21F-13.
@Crazed_Otter
There were no hidden slope modifiers; the very public slope modifiers are on all APHE and HE-filled APCBC rounds in USA, Germany, China, USSR, Japan, etc.
IS-6 and Merkava Mk4 LIC having extra armor in their turret disproves Russian bias.

arguing about ARB balance is pointless since rafale or whichever plane you think is meta can be on both teams, so you never end up with the same sealclubbing you can see in GRB
that’s been true since before R27ER or those demonic 9L that were almost impossible to flare
Lol that’s a funny one bud, you deserve a reply for that one.
Here’s the full vid for context Watch aaaand it's doa | Streamable
You still haven’t disproved my point
If what you said had been true, gaijin wouldn’t have waited till the addition of eurocanards, just to give the flanker a viable flight model.
Matter of fact, you should instead complain about how gaijin seemingly accepts pretty much every rafale bug report, to then buff it at the first chance they get, even when the statistics prove that it doesn’t need any
It is not pointless when a single plane can curbstomp everything else witu little to no effort, and gaijin seems to make it even more powerful with each update
Idc about flanker flight models, they are irrelevant to the point made originally, the bug reports were accepted on time and consistently, they simply took a long time to address them
Furthermore, I am a rafale critic anyway, it’s been overperforming since launch and is now extremely overtuned because someone at gaijin adores the thing
What I’m saying is that it’s often on both teams so they ‘cancel out’ so to speak.
Who cares, you had to fly bellow 100m to neglect the missile.
Cue my point, it encouraged the lawnmower meta since flying low was a requirement to dodge the ER spam, this was made far worse with the addition of the flanker
it less often as like danger zone where like 70% of the lobby was a f-14 lobbing missiles from 40km at enemies and dominating also dogfights
