I’d also like to expand on this in regard to bug reporting/fair implementation.
As it stands, bug reports/fixed bug reports are purely up to whatever gaijin/the mods think, and the rules around them make accurately reporting vehicle issues much more difficult for anyone but Russia or whatever vehicle gaijin wants to buff.
For implementations, I feel that gaijin just adds whatever they think will make their “statistics” be the “best”. See the Rafale vs EFT, where they buffed the Rafale unfairly above everything else. Then there’s also the J-10C vs Su-30SM2 implementation where one gets powerful engines it has barely used, and the other is stuck with weaker ones that it used to use.
Is it malice? I don’t know. Is it incompetence? Probably. The QnA showed how out of touch BVVD is, and I don’t think they will deliberately make themselves look bad. They also don’t seem to play their game, or atleast have an idea on what it’s like as evidenced by the BR changes and such.
Edit: Somewhere between 6.7 and 10.0 players seemingly forget how to aim for weakspots, which leads to a lot more RU bias accusations for tanks than there should be. Theres also so many internal biases against Russian vehicles in the playerbase, to the point where it’s difficult to objectively discuss things.
The problem is they dont care about actually understanding the tech. The cute “Cheek Radars” on the Su-57 are the perfect match for the analagy i referenced. Those sensors have 1/3 the density needed to get a target lock on anything much less a stealth aircraft outside of maybe sub 5km.
I fear gaijin is gonna treat them just like a full fidelity radar and let the jet lock shit from absurd angles that are not only unrealistic but outright overpowered. If it comes to that it will make gaijin look delusional.
Really depends on why its strong if its just agile due to thrust vectoring and has good missles people wont be that upset but if its stealth is better than the F22 or its DIRCM works perfectly against 5th gen missiles then people will riot lol
Not true but you can continue in your delusions if you must. Not risking my clearance to explain.
If you take those numbers in a vaccum as the theoretical optimal then sure, but the real deal is going to be dramatically differnt. Zero chance it would be able to lock a stealth fighter in proper aspect outside of 24km and you can confirm that with basic RF math calcs.
