iirc the only reason Gaijin sees the 27SM/30SM/30SM2 as able to use the dual pylons is “Technical Feasibility”, since there’s the same space between the engines on all the Flankers.
But yeah, It’s completely incorrect, since Dual Pylons have only ever been seen on Su-35S.
I’m all for technical feasibility as long as it’s done reasonably.
I’ve heard rumours that the F-15C GE’s racks weren’t wired for firing missiles but I lack the knowledge and sources to prove that.
Either way, war thunder is a game, not a simulator.
I believe some aspects of realism can be ignored as long as it’s done in a reasonable manner and still make x thing fun to play or counter able enough.
Su-27SM racks as well as F-15 racks are reasonable to me.
I wouldn’t mind missing out on 2 missiles on the RU Flankers, they already have enough as is, plus it would make Su-35S more special when it comes out.
this no other country has a counterpart which is hard to counter with sams and travels so fast and is accurate…
AND
why arent you responding to that? hmm ? why is it that russian tech tree has also those things which are a huge advantage to it while you cant implement a damn flightpath like it should for jagms and hellfires???
War Thunder is a simulator. All simulators are games.
And missile availability isn’t a realism standpoint, but an authenticity standpoint.
But yeah, double racks make sense since the manufacturer made them for advanced Flankers, and they’re seen on Flankers that were initially produced in 2012.
Without evidence of avionics lock-out/degradation, compatibility is reasonably assumed in the era of solid state computing.
Man I just played quite a few matches at 10.7 tonight, the entire time it was filled with Russian CAS, Spruts and T series tanks that would roll every match, I think in the amount of games I played I can only pick out 3 matches where my team won, and those matches had Russia on my side. Give or take it’s not every match no, but you cannot ignore the fact that Russia has a 60% win rate at every BR above 9.7, literally every nation with the except of Italy and Israel (above 11.0) has a win rate below 50%. Win rates are the smoking gun man. Now I’m an average player, not good, not bad, I don’t have a 1.0 KD, but I at least contribute to my team trying to win.
Top tier has a clear Russian bias at least for ground battles, air is a mixed bag.
Still waiting for AGM 114L for use in the AH64D w/ it’s radar. We have seen that the new pantsir can lock multiple targets, time to upgrade the Apache Longbow :P
oh wait you come here claiming that we suck and the game has no bias but i gave you 2 more points you avoind to anwser which makes
yeah so why i have to sweat in us / german / italian CAS while russians have the magic mach 2 missile?
do you reallly miss the point that russian bias what we mean is not a single vehicle (excluding the bmpt and pantsir) but the damn entire lineup you can have to pump out damage compare it to others…
the 2 points the flighpath of hellfires/jagms and the damn kh-38 mt you mix those two add a spam of tanks and you have games where no matter what russians dominate and the win rates say it all but you avoid those points because you know you can’t say anything about that… you play the “try being in the middile but it is how it is” game where you defend russians while saying oh yes only the bmpt and pantsir is op but you fail to notice other stats of other vehicles which when mixed take the fun out of the game… even the amount of players playing russia says it all…
These are interesting claims considering you have trash wr’s on your most nato tanks while you didn’t even thouched Pantsir SM-SV,BMPT, Mi-28NM and purposely left the KH-38MT carriers out of your context.
Not to mention your attitude on that context is quite toxic and doesn’t provide any suggestion nor actual solution to existing problems on top tier.
Maybe if half of my teammates weren’t single braincell organisms this so called “spam of tanks” could easily be countered.
Hell in the Abrams I can honestly easily take a whole lot of T-series with me before they get me, problem is for every T-series I take out there is a teammate feeding.
Because people are tired of KH-38MT,LMUR,BMPT and Pantsir SM-SV spam so they just wanna rush get as much as kill possible and hop onto the next game.
.
Today I fought toe to toe with F-16C pobit and JAS39E in my SM-SV, i completely locked the airspace and intercepted their munitions constantly, they became so angry that they decided to toss their entire munition on me only to get killed by my hypersonic missiles while their remaining munitions intercepted by me and my friendly Pantsir.
Gripen pilot was so furious that he was swearing on chat.
What’s funny is they were crushing us before getting into CAS but me and other Pantsir turned the table by cutting their air power, that way our team managed to won the round.
Honestly at this rate I can’t blame them, the whole situation is completely fked up and certain Russian platforms needs proper balance/nerfs
You’re doing good keeping your sanity in check by not fighting against smart SM-SV player.
Those are helpless and can be found in every nation, honestly premium T-80UE and Type-90 players are worst on these days, in trying to grind my BMPT line-up by using 12.0 line-up and most of the time I’m ending up with those type of players.
