Russian Teams Steamrolling NATO - Top Tier is Broken Again?

Please do.

18mm more pen 15kg less explosive filler on a 56mm bigger gun lol. Diamond shaped armor with a shot trap just next to the 70% bigger magazines. Yeah Yamato is truly a beast compared to ss lol

Laughing this thread still exists. “Russian teams” barely if any at all, seen any matches where ive seen russia face against just nato countries. But if anything in sim ground, China n Rus dominate to the extent i suppose there could be an argument for them, but thats also due to a large factor of players lacking situational awareness and ability to last longer than 2 mins and have actual SPAA/Anti cas(Jets) lineup.

Think ground sim needs to remove that simple “1000 sp” you get at the start, and make it simply like grb, but hey ho. They dont care abt simulator battles much anyway

Why couldn’t you ?
Give them bit of a reload buff which is a balancing feature anyways, find some sikrit dokuments about a prototype transmission that increases their reverse speed and you eliminated a large chunk of their woes.

It would still be in the top 3 helicopters in the game, which is plenty enough.

38MT without IOG and with worse optics would still be really good and arguably the best AGM out there.

Fine, you do you.

To add to what motorola said,

The Jagm profile was now completely is updated with the hellfire presets, which has made the missiles almost much much better, not to only add upto how cancerous it is as much with 16 of them. Atleast the Lmur is 8.

Even the funnier thing is, when they talk about Russian cas being so op, when it wasnt and the US multiroles cas jets were dominating the balance and killing the su25s with their f-14s n F16s. No one cared to question balance, and this thread is nothing but just two faced personalities that would whine regardless if russia does anything better. Meanwhile rafale in air rb, leopard 2A7V/Strr in ground rb and Irist Slm continue to dominate. Any word on the balance for these? Nope, simply dont care.

Depends on launch range I’d say… because IOG is a very useful tool. And unless the 38MT suddenly went Mach 3.5+ anything past 5 miles firing distance will likely be out of the picture by the time it lands, or is behind something which in any case it wouldn’t matter.

Pretty much any weapon with IoG is good. Even early AGM-65s

Russian mains aren’t much better than US and German mains in ground and air RB though.

Many players want more balance for the Rafale

Good, they can give it HOB/proxy too

Sure gaijin could do that but since they pride themselves with making a „realistic“ game id say that would somewhat destroy that

The ussr tree might be able to cope for one of these things but if you hit all with the realism hammer they’d be in some serious trouble

Yeah? There are plenty of threads about the rafale and how unfair it is. And the 2A7 gets constantly named as the best tank by far. The difference is just that both are actually real and in the case of the 2A7 are already severely hampered compared to irl

Debatable

I used to play France only, i sometimes grind USSR now and let’s just say the word “erratic” would be quite the euphemism to describe their behavior, quite frankly not that different to the 2 other main nations (and dare i say sometimes even worst, depending on BR)

There’s no data, only a 88% that does not mean anything

Soyuz has :

  • The best firepower, with the best pen + filler combination (852mm for 39kg of TNT eq) and a normal fire rate for its BR

  • The best armor, with a thickness equivalent to Yamato (375-420mm), but without the diamond shape weakness. The side armor also extends passed the first front bulkhead, with a second smaller front bulkhead, making frontal pen almost impossible

Great contribution chief, am I wrong tho?

That’s exactly his point though ?

A Su without the fictionnal ammo would be quite bad, as it should ?

France’s Rafale problem is quite well documented and people are complaining about it all over the forums (with good justification, i might add)

Holy cope reply. Wrong or not still extremely cope , bro main germany lmao

Cry about it , it could or it could not. Who know , we don’t live in a timeline where the Su34/30SM doesn’t have KH38MT. We live in the one that it does but using it to justify EF/Rafael domination in ground battle , not even counting ARB. Is pathetic lmao.

I suggest you use a translation tool, it’s barely readable and i can’t even understand the point you are trying to make

Pffffff yeah right all over the forum so unhappy about that

So stating thruths is now coping, good to know.

Uh yeah? There’s multiple threads that either complain about air rb overall with emphasis on the rafale or compare it to its competitors etc

Yes there are, and i specified it’s not unjustified, so i don’t get where the “unhappy” part comes from

Unlike some people here i don’t have issues admitting something is unbalanced, even if it is a vehicle i like and it is in my most played nation

Plenty others, but you get the point. When a vehicle is problematic in game, it’s heavily discussed. T58, Turm III, Most of Russia’s CAS, Soyuz, Rafale. None escape that simple rule

Plenty of what ? 1500 replies since April 5th and 700 replies since September 6th this is something that close to “We don’t care” it’s not even close to weekly Russian Bias topic with 1000 replies per week and level of anger that not even close to what happening in those Rafale topics.

Almost as if the most played mode was Ground RB where Rafale is less problematic and being a vehicle of a “minor” tree, it’s less seen by people in general. Besides, it’s one vehicle, not an entire line up being busted

shot 2025.10.23 09.39.05
shot 2025.10.23 09.39.26

People complain proportionally do the amount of pain they receive in the face, it’s human behavior 101

There is less Rafale seen = they complain less. Does it make Rafale less busted ? Certainly not, but the fact that there is less complaints can easily be explained by this single fact

I think R-27ER had more replies than Rafale

A comparison can not be made, R27ER was problematic for years, Rafale has yet to be in game for 1 year.

I don’t play Air RB much these days, but i also think R27ER was far more prolific than Rafale is right now.

Edit : just checked out

R27ER is horror thread, January 2024 to now, 250 replies, 700 for “Rafale’s reign at top tier” on September and October alone

Rafale’s main thread :

Is already on part 2 as well. Might want to take a wild guess as to why that is ?
